we're back in power again" but I don't really believe that. :(

7. Are you high on marijuana again?
:smoke:

Sorry, I recall our little conversation from that thread... trouble is, I did most of the work in laying out my beliefs, and situations. You were having too much fun being emptily aggressive and subsequently reminding the world why people will never side with you. Democracy takes to two tango and like the song says, "stuck in the middle". Given you or the status quo; why endure the messy upheaval of change? ;)

Besides, I've seen addicts and it's not pretty. Forgive me for wanting to help people live to their potential instead of letting them rot on the sidelines in a self-induced doped up coma. My view of progressivism must be pretty warped. (not)

:shrug:

This thread should probably be in GD-P anyway.

I also apologize; I typically don't refer to other threads.

8. America is, but the MEDIA and the ELITES aren't. They like the
status quo because it works well for them. They ignored Edwards and the ploy worked. They talked up the historic aspects (first woman, first black) and made a compelling narrative out of it, drowning out any policy messages. If this country keeps acting like this, we are truly doomed.

10. I suspect it will take another election cycle or two as increasing numbers
of baby boomers age and loose any semblance of medical care, as global warming climate change increasingly makes it's catastrophic effects known, and as the budget blows up due in large part by an ever increasing prison nation due to draconian drug laws proposed by a corrupted police state largely influenced by the for profit prison industry. Keep your eye on the ratings of such programs as FOX T.V.'s Cops as a micro barometer of the American People's attitude toward living in an all too real Big Brother society.

11. Americans will literally have to be eating dirt before they'll fucking move.
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 05:31 PM by devilgrrl
Because as it stands - if you're not doing anything illegal, then why be worried?

12. It's hard to change. . .
A big problem is that our economy is so dependent on the military/defense. Even the most dovish congressperson would be loathe not to support the current war, given the threat of cutting defense contracts in that district. Once the military/industrial complex has take over, killing the monster is problematic.
