So... is Occupatio an aggressive form of Sympatico? ...or just another one of those 'adventurous' sexual techniques? ;^) ...maybe a party out on the terrace... you know, the kind of gathering that just won't leave... even though it's dawn, and the neighbors have been complaining all night...

Good things? It has profoundly displayed that the US media is beholden to corpoarte interest... It has made us all stop and wonder if maybe a world of tollerance and mutual respect might not be so bad after all (if we can ever get it back) ...It has undermined the subconscious confidence that concervatives once had for George... It has shown the US left, with numerous daily incidents, how out of touch and irresponsible our 'hard ball' business techniques really are ...It will solidify the US rally cry, around what remains of our constitutional rights, to oust once and for all time the antiquated and bloody ways of conquest, in favor of peaceful and prosperous diplomacy and trust-building... and the US will become a benign and considerate world leader, a team player, and a strong advocate for peace and wellbeing around the world... and maybe even here at home...?

Yes, IMHO... it is making us take a long hard look at this administration, and the cross referencing with the essence of what our forefathers had in mind will spur us 'beyond' GWB. I believe that the silent majority will put him out to pasture next fall, and let evolution entice the quantum leap of simple respectful prosperity all over this glorious, but very small, planet earth. ttr
