So...When Iraqis are tortured to death, it's not really that bad because they're just wogs and don't know any better? > Dubbya and Asscruft have millions of people in prison for doing > nothing wrong, only violating their bullshit rules in the War On Some > Drugs. I agree that the WoSD is bullshit, but get some historical perspective. The WoSD has been in place for thirty years (Nixon), or for almost a century (eeeevil blacks and hispanics using marijuana to seduce white women). Bush43 and Ashcroft have been in office less than two years, and neither was alive when _Reefer Madness_ came out.. > They have killed thousands of innocent Afghans "Thousands of Afghans" has been thoroughly debunked. Only the very stupid continue to believe or propagate it. > Not that Klinton was any better. Bubba was much worse. He killed people to distract attention from his crimes. Bush43 at least has a supportable rationale, whether or not you agree with it. Now, I am far from a Bush43 supporter. I have serious concerns about his interest in the rights of Americans. But idiots like Harmon Seaver make it more difficult to effectively oppose Bush43 and Asscruft (*) because their supporters need only point to the idiots to discredit all of the opposition. (*) I'm the one who came up with that nickname, so you can assume that my opinion of him is not favorable.
