Goodbye American Democracy
Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 12:12 PM by JaySherman
Kiss it goodbye. We could so put the finishing touches on the
Repug* fascists here. Instead our representatives on the commission are treating them with diplomatic gloved hands. I want to cry right now.

edit: Someone tell me I'm wrong, please.

... of a non-violent expulsion of the evil-Dewars. It is time to take it to the streets. support right wingers and second ammendment ... time to buy your guns.

4. It may actually come to that. I'll wait for the election, though. Any
funny business or "postponements", and I will be forced to agree.

6. Zappa quote
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.”
- Quoted by Jim Ladd, ‘Zappa On Air’, Nuggets, No.7, April/May 1977
