Kendall:

As long as there are dark treacly secrets all over the carpet of the White House, I rather think it has not.

I would be very interested to know why the whole Bin Laden clan was spirited out of the country with the government's consent after the 9-11 debacle, and exactly what the business relationships are between the Bin Laden clan and the Bush clan. I woudl be really interested to know exactly what strings of investigation the FBI working force has been ordered NOT to pursue. I would be REALLY interested to exactly what intelligence lies behind the orchestrated Administration position that was pushing for an initial-attack strike against Iraq.

There's just an awful lot of facts NOT being laid out plainly before the American public. "You can't handle the truth! Leave it up tot he pross" seems to be the tenor of the times.

Well, buddy, I dunno about some folks, or their grandma in Dubuque, but I am ready and able to handle the truth. Silky side, seamy side, in-between side, it's alla same to me if it _is_ the truth. And it's complete.

I, for one, do not believe the information available to me as a citizen right now is either. The stuff I see coming out of the White House is just absurd drivel.

But that's just me. I'm a liberal, after all, and we tend to be a bit paranoid, right?

So, really, I think there is a lot more to be said. I think we are facing the sort of obsessive egocentric neurosis that drove the loyal Colonies right into the arms of those dirty underhanded liberal insurrectionist pinkos, Adams and Paine. And I like it little more now than I did then. :>)
