Gore is okay -- not great, just okay. I find the poltical agenda of his wife Tipper annoying though...

Bush is an enemy to the people. Simple as that. Anyone that cannot see that fact doesn’t understand, or perhaps value, our system of govt. at a fundamental level. The looting will continue via govt., via corporations, via Wall Street, until the people wake up -- which in my lifetime, they have never done yet.

They did have that moment in the sixties when they asked a lot of questions -- a lot of good questions -- but then, they just got hooked on heroin and a bunch of other fun things. Interest in politics slipped away with the acquisition of the personal fixing kit. Can’t fix the system, might as well “fix” yourself...

What is going on cannot be fixed by our two party system because the two party system is actually part of the problem. We don’t need a bloody revolution, we just need to follow the rulebook already given us more closely. At the same time people will likely do nothing until ONLY a bloody revolution will save us from the govt. of control that is to come. We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet, folks!

Doom...doom...doom...

The only real freedom you are likely to see in your lifetime is what some call a TAZ -- a Temporary Autonomous Zone. A TAZ is normally something small enough, harmless enough, and temporary enough that it slips passed without much notice. Woe to those whose TAZs continue for too long though -- that’s how you get noticed. Freedom is linked to chaos and change. Such is life. Get used to it.

There is no control, just the illusion of it -- the same for them (the instruments of control, the govt.) as for us. The difference is that we (some of us) know it, and they do not.
