so what if dubya doesn't wanna have the U.S. turn into a
homo-lovin', dope-smokin' abortion-supportin' buncha theist
hippies like those goddang Canadians?!?

but on a serious tip, it is rather worrying that no serious
political opposition to Bush's proposed candidacy (it will
not be officially declared until september) has not emerged
up to this point.

granted, as an encumbant candidate, statistically-speaking
there is quite a great likelihood that he will remain in
office, but given a strong and viable enough of an
alternative from a democratic (or preferably, a green-party
- though when pigs fly in the U.S.A., unfortunately)
candidate, this will hopefully prove not to be the case.

I think a lot about the US is rather worrying, aswell as a
lot of things going on in EU, and is going to happen in EU.
So many people just don't know what they are doing. and
they're destroying the lives of people.

which is exaclty why we need Bushie for 4 more years - this
will bring about a greater likelihood of an all-out nuclear
annihilation, resulting in the final, definitive destruction
of humankind, thereby simultaneously eliminating all human
concerns! problems solved for all of eternity! yay!

the U.S. has to hurry up and conquor everything so when the
aliens attack, we are done squabbling amongst ourselves and
can focus all of the world's nuclear arsenal toward the
tentaculared mega ship.

AIM FOR THE EYE STALKS!!! IT"S OUR ONLY CHANCE!!

He'll stay. Popular vote or not. The motherfucker'll find a
way. This is Not A Good Thing.

I imagine that the US-UK (government) slide to the right
will continue until things are COMPLETELY fucked, and by
that time it'll be too late. US vs (insert nation / ethnic
group here) violence will fuel more "patriot" (?!?!?!) acts
and civil liberty crackdowns yet more acceptance from the
public at large.

Most people won't care until it affects THEM, how they eat,
move, shop etc. As long as bush and his little clique can
keep the public reassured / frightened they have little
problem.

To Promo:
These are facts, coming from the Florida public records:
A company which manages databases containing voter-rolls for
Florida citizens was payed a couple of million dollars to
basiccaly scrub out unqualified voters. In Florida you're
unqualified if you've ever been sentenced for a crime (Bush
has been arrested three times by the way).

The thing was that the database company's workers began to
get spooked when they discovered that many black voters
where scrubbed from the voter-rolls (blacks votes for
democrats almost without exception) whitout any reason
whatsoever. They mailed the Florida official Kathy Harris
about this and got orders to ignore it - this is also
available through public e-mail records in Florida.

They produced a new list with blacklisted voters, now with a
few real criminals but still 90% innocent voters. Some of
the crimes was, according to that list, commited in
ficticious dates like 2010 and 2007, some where even labled
criminals at dates predating their birth.

These are no conspiracy theories, it's totally available in
the public records, but the american media doesn't do a good
job so it took a BBC reporter to uncover this.

Yeah...your stance on this makes me scared. Unfortunatley
you're not alone with that view.

Terrible crimes are commited in our names every day, but we
seldom hear about them in the western media. To blindly
support these guys is to blindly support opression and
violence in many forms against harmless people in many many
countries around the world.

This has been going on since the days of colonisation, and
it goes on as we write here, but all we ever hear is that we
in the west are the peak of civilisation. I believe this is
starting to break up now, but it's not going to be easy.

Blah blah blah whatever.

Promo, like all good propogandists, failed to mention one
vital thing - Bush is a failed businessman. Yes, even
having all of daddy's money didn't help make him a good
businessman. And don't forget who is businessman, one Mr.
Bin Laden, brother of Usama.

I goddam hate the hypocracy of people who right shit against
Bush. What they fail to appreciate is that politics is a
dirty game whether it be democrats, republicans, green party
or whoever else. Allegiances switch and deals are done. This
is what goes on.

On the whole the way Bush conducted himself during the
election campaign made Gore just look like a buffon. Gore
tried some pretty dirty tricks which got exposed and it
backfired against him. So as a consequence a large part of
the public decided that they didn't want that sort of man as
president. So the vote was always fair and the right
candidate won.

joakimlinden,

Please grow up loser. More violence and oppression goes on
in the world without colonialism. You only have to look to
the muslim states and African countries. Slavery, oppression
and constant warfare. We've been out of the picture for a
long time and basically these countries have made a royal
fuck up of things. We are not to blaim. We left all our
collonies in very very strong economic and politcal shape.
So I will not take blaim and will never take blaim for these
countries own messes.

Considering Bush was a protege of Richard Nixon, it's a bit
rich accusing Gore of this. In their debates, it was Gore
who tried to concentrate on issues, whilst Bush decried
'Washington Speak' and condescended Gore for being
intelligent and knowledgeable.

The right candidate DID win - Al Gore.

I agree with you on this one thing: Politics is a dirty
game.
But I'll bet my ass that it doesn't have to be, that it
shouldn't in fact.
Bush happens to be a prefect target though, he has a long
family history of criminals and thugs and he is not very
bright, according to the different schools he nearly
finished at.

Listen: If people working the UN says to you that "well,
bombing Afghanistan now - in the state that it is in after
your funding of Osama & c.o. so that they would drive out
the Russians - will indirectly cause the death of about one
hundred thousand or more civilians, is this what you want?"
"Let's bomb those bastards from the face of this earth!"
"Well, why not negotiate with the Talibans when they offer
to hand over your main man?"
"No one tells us what to do!"

RATATATAT!

Now, when the dust has settled in Afghanistan, people have
begun to collect evidence of the untold atrocities taking
place there, under american supervision: Hundreds of people
being loaded into containers without breathing holes, so
some soldiers start to shoot right into the containers...
People inside are screaming for their lives, blood is
pouring out. The trucks travel on.
When they arrive some of the Taliban soldiers inside are
taken and shot in the head. There are massgraves being
unearthed in Afghanistan now, but nothing is reported in
mainstream media here.

Ah, I'm tired... I'll leave you alone now promo.

I'd just like to say that I don't care one way or the other
about this subject, or anything related to it. Unless
somehow someone can find a way to make it relate to
chocolate, tasty music or tasty girlies.

And I'd also like to say that, after ages of indifference,
I'm starting to get a funny kinda feeling for her in

Yes marlowe=cypto-communist.

Marlowe=anti-capitalism, anti-war (let oppressed people rot
'cause I'm too pussy), anti-successful and wealthy people,
anti-free state (prefers the earnings of people who are
successful to be taxed the living shit out off),
anti-corporate (all corporations are wrong because they make
money which gets taxed and goes back into the country to pay
for public services and also the services and technologies
that they provide to further mankind we can't allow and they
aren't fair because they require motivated individuals who
wish themselves to be successful and wealthy to push them
forward) the list goes on and on.

i hate to piss on your parade, but to let you in on a little
secret the political and economic system is far more complex
than you seem to perceive it.

as an example, the percentage of corporate taxes in contrast
to that of tax revenue raised from individual citizens is
actually quite miniscule. as a matter of fact, in vast
majority of capitalist economies, corporations with
signficant enough political clout have the benefit of
significantly reduced tax rates.

you seem to have a ridiculously trustworthy and optimistic
view of the good intentions of for-profit corporations. the
problem lies in the fact that their very being for-profit
positions the generation of wealth over any other aims (such
as preseving the environment, etc. - as they are seen as not
profitable).
