<x-charset ISO-8859-1>Greg, There's not much to say, other than the man is the biggest scumbag to ever hold the office.
A tough job? Sure. The hardest job in the world? Homey don't buy it. And he doesn't get to draw a bye just because others may care to assess it as such. Were it so, he certainly wouldn't have been fit for the job since day one - which he wasn't. Money and stupidity on the part of millions of sheep is what got him there. And now the rest of the world gets to reap the dismal harvest. I'll be damned and go to hell long before I foster excuses or justifications for the way he's loused up almost everything he's touched since being selected to office. He's a liar and a con who has nowhere to hide anymore. It wreaks in every word he utters and tries to stutter through - an audible manifestation of a man who knows a lie when he speaks it and a sham when he supports it...just that he's too damned gutless or stupid to confront it. Somebody tell me exactly how someone who is supposed to be a "god" fearing individual could have such a despotic lack of concern for future generations? (Don't answer that. Again, it's rhetorical, with everyone already knowing the answer.) Let him sit on a dung heap scratching his sores with a potshard for all I care, although that is far less than he deserves. Although I certainly wouldn't wish such an injustice of ill company upon Job were he still in the neighborhood.

Not only that, every third person is trying to push him off. The other two people fall into one of 3 categories: The first category are trying to hold him up, the second category, flat out don't care one way or the other so long as they get what they think belongs to them ( which to my way of thinking is the worst possible category ), and the third type is willing to try work with him to make things better, despite differences. > > I always hope that when push comes to shove I can respect and support the office of President of the United States of America, even though I may despise and/or disagree with the man in it ( not mentioning any particular Presidents past, present, or future ), because he has the hardest bloody job in the world, and only a fraction of the support. > > Greg H. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Appal Energy > To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 14:53 > Subject: Re: [biofuel] Moral Dilemma... > > > Sorry Greg, > > That was a rhetorical question.
