I don't put much credence into descriptions like this. Comparisons between cultures separated by 60+ years and thousands of miles.......bogus. The point, that I guess you're not getting, is that when an elected > leader takes active steps to dismantle a system set up to prevent > dictators and fascism, as Bush has done and is actively doing, well > .... that's not a tribute to democracy. Nope, it's not. The tribute to democracy is that the people were still allowed to elect this guy, twice, and yet the system will protect them, ultimately, from their decision. If you think that's not worthy of discourse then you are swimming in a > sea of denial that you won't realize until it drowns you. To be fair, Robert is always up for discourse on these issues...he just has a different viewpoint. I don't see him drowning in any sea of denial....

Exactly. So crying wolf all the time..."oh booo hooo, we're all going to die at the hands of fascist neo-cons who are destroying the world! ooooooh boo hooo".......is unnecessary alarmist BS :) Your welcome. No no....yer welcome :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:208473 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
