11:07 AM He's ridiculous. I can't believe we voted him into office (well, not me personally) for ANOTHER TERM of lies.
3:25 PM Lies, lies, & mo lies. It amazing that some people still believe in him.
3:14 PM Hello, James. Nice joint.
There is a reason I put Galatians 6:7 at the head of my weblog. It is the simplest, most eloquent warning that a loving God could give to his wayward children.
Consider the following quote, from Alan Coren: "Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear."
Bush is in power because the majority either wants him there, or doesn't want to sacrifice what it must in order to throw his cabal out. In 2000, the people of Bolivia marched on their government to demand that it tear up a brutally feudal contract that had handed over control of the country's water supply to a subsidiary of perennial corporate vampire Bechtel. After enduring the expected wave of state violence, the people got what they wanted. The contract was torn up.
Now, if the masses in Bolivia could rise up over something so important, why aren't U.S. citizens marching in the streets over the imperial abuses of our tax dollars and our military?
I, for one, am guilty of letting my government get away with theft and murder.
