Down With Bush

[mlambert]

I don't agree with everything he says or does, but Bush is okay by me. He does his job. Personally, I wouldn't want it. Each administration has the unfortunate duty to clean up the previous administration's mess. To have to meet the demands of many conflicting sides, I would be forced to stab someone in the head with my letter opener.

What I can't stand, however, are people who don't even vote just making blanket statements like "Bush sucks" or whatever. One of my best friends is like that. She will say something like that and then can't even give an example of something that he has done completely on his own to back it up. Then to top it off, she doesn't even vote.

I don't blame 90% of what is wrong with the country on the politicians. I blame it on the media. I don't even watch the news anymore because each network is owned by some corporation with its own corporate agenda. So, maybe 1% of what is reported is the actual truth. It used to be when they taught news journalism they taught to be objective and to report the facts with an unbiased opinion. Now, you are taught how to make money and to market your story for the highest bidder. For example, ABC is owned by Disney. Disney owns ESPN, Touchstone, Pixar, Miramax, Lifetime, A&E, The History Channel, Biography and forty plus radio stations. So, that very quickly means that little Emily falling into some well chasing a ball is getting on the news and then that gets turned into oh my god the mom wasn't watching her close enough and she should be in jail so let's charge her with whatever we can concoct and then we'll turn her best friend's cousin's wife's dog life story into some made for movie because the dog just happened to be chasing the same damn ball into the well and he is stuck down there, too. And that is just one example. Talk about propaganda.

You know if the general public can formulate bad opinions from not being given all of the correct information, imagine what that guy's job is like. I feel sorry for anyone in his shoes, really.

I do love a good debate, and this looks like a very heated one. We all seem to be able to voice our opinions very efficiently. and im glad that i am among people who will listen to what i have to say, or at least scan over it, and then without being immature or naive can spit back a very well written, mild manner reply.


"I say Good Day to you as well, its this kind of poisonous talk that gives people the sense that no one can be trusted that that just leads to more people convincing themselves of these ludicrous conspiracies."

- thats how i feel, but i do not feel like it is a "ludicrous conspriracy" when you observe the presentations that put forth a very professional thesis. the problem is that people don't want to relive that terrible day. that most poeple would rather say, what happened happened and thats that.

If we as a nation of regular joes fail to wake up i think there may very well be another World war, or worse, whatever that may be. The people who are making the big decisions in our federal government dont give a f*ck about the people on the other side of the globe who die for a belief in a god. as long as we continue to expand and profit. And i do believe that they (and us too as a result) will "pay" for their "sins". we are living in north america, which once was home to the tribesman who were so brutally slaughtered in the name of economic and political explansion. Whose lifestyles were so in tune with nature, we as "civilized" man regarded it with the most horror.

What decade will mankind realize that life isn't about whoever dies with the most **** wins, and that the materialistic culture we are immersed in when we're born does not equate to a better life? When will thew people stand up and say enough is enough, we have enough ****, and now lets just live by the land? I'll start the bidding at the year 2099 or better yet 3001.

what's wrong with this country in my humble opinion is that there are not enough people who will speak of distrust toward the powers that be, and that the terrible things that happened (not only on 9-11) will forever be regarded as taboo because of the angst and emotion it stirs up. we as a nation will continue to grow but for how long. after all, all great civilizations came to an end.

"The seasons change and things get strange.
Then once and awhile they get rearranged, and it seems insane
Until the day your brain becomes one with the eternal main frame.

Question everything.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

take it or leave it.

very well written, mild manner reply.

Minus the huge run on sentence. If my fifth grade English teacher saw that, he would shoot me.

Hahaha

Sorry. Finally installed my new little rack and bench in the house. With no instructions, which I'm sure would've been in Japanese anyway. Needed to take a little break and log in here...

Hope you guys are having a lovely evening.

Peace.
