Of course, the real "we're fucked" moment came today with the news that the US gov't, in an unprecedented move, is r eclassifying Iran's army as a terrorist organization. Which of course means that the Geneva convention is thrown out, the White House doesn't even need it's Congressional lapdogs to approve a declaration of war, and so on and so on. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6947616.stmThe king is dead. Long live the king. -M

You gotta think positive in this situation. Like, consider how all the fallout radiation from the nuclear bombs which will rain down over the planet will be wiping out all the terrorists. See? It's not all bad.
Unless it creates a monstrous race of atomic mutant super-terrorists!! Fuck!

Or look at it this way. At the rate the administration is going, eventually everyone will be classified as a terrorist! Then we'll all outnumber the ideologues in the administration.

i recommend reading _The Gulag Archipelago_ as a handy means of learning how millions and millions of people can really not do anything to properly ensure their personal freedoms, much less their rights as citizens, under any regime that's motivated and ruthless enough to keep them in their place. bush (and most any other politician) would give both testicles to be stalin -- and he's pretty much 3/4 of the way there already, legally (and illegally) speaking.
