No, Fionn, we haven't learned a danged thing from the 20th century. Maybe that's why there are so many folks who feel they need to repeat the course by turning back the clock. Thinking in the large sense it makes no sense to me, but then I don't consider myself one of the sheep in the herd.

But when you look at it under a looking glass, hmmmmm, smells of money, ego and control. The only way the Republican fraternity thinks it can hold the power is to keep "a good war" (insert you own comment here:______) on the front burner. They've got a true light weight in the White House who was selected by his daddy's court appointments, who is a draft dodger, thief, a bad businessman and won't look anyone in the eye unless accompanied with some sophmorist threat. They have bungled the economy with their Cash Give-away, creating deficits (al la Reagan..) and destabilizing the market and the faith of investors. They passed an education bill but now won't write the checks. They talk big, but do little and that which they do they won't pay for or canb't pay for. So, yeah, for them to stay in office, they've called the "ol' end around" play from the olden days. War, war and more war until the American people throw em' out, which, unfortunately they haven't seen enough yet to do...

Sad thing is that I have no faith whats so ever in Joe Leiberman and Tom Daschle's Democrats. If they were really anything more than a rival fraternity, they woulod be all over the Iraq situation, offering alternatives. And they would be all over the corporate corruption. Further proff, as if we needed it, that we have a one party system in the US and right now it's Hell bent on WAR.

Rant over.

Vote Green, or anything but Repubocrat
