okay, so maybe that comparison was a little over the top... and i guess the plus with corpses is that they can be eaten by vultures (and serve SOME purpose). (joke, btw)...
but here's the truth: i'm so sick of these so-called ironic statements that say that if you drive an SUV and you stand for peace, than you're suddenly a hypocrite. and people on this list who frequent raves should be THE FIRST to know that trash happens when you get a shitload of people together. so i agree, trashing the city was low class and shitty... but let's not use something like that give the peace movement a bad name. any way, i want to pose some questions for people to think about (myself included)... first, why is the UN NOT supporting military action? Don't you think that our government would present all evidence supporting an attack to the UN? with every speech i hear about "the axis of evil" comes more distrust in our very own president. Why haven't we (or the UN) been presented with enough HARD FACTS? let's even just for a second assume that the UN has seen real hard evidence; it must not be enough to warrant an attack on Iraq. we have to keep the role of objectivity here, that is how peace is reached. second, why is bush so obsessed with Saddam Hussein? He is spending all his time trying to excite the american public with the idea of war and completely ignoring North Korea, who has OPENLY declared possession of nuclear weapons, broken nuclear agreements and repeatedly requested talks with the US. I'm not saying we should wage war with N. Korea, but I'm saying that his commitment to war is overshadowing his judgment. you can't drop bombs simply because of paranoia, weak evidence or a suspected connection to a group we really hate. So who's to put things into perspective when our own president wants to go to war so bad he preaches it like a sermon? the United Nations... and we're not listening. .... proceed to flame. -maria --- i went rioting in oakland and all i got was this lousy 'RAIDERS SUCK' t-shirt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Except it's a lot more work to pick up dead bodies > and > > crumbled buildings than it is to pick up trash... > > > > but if it's not in America, who cares, right? > > your assumption that dead bodies are similar in > weight and volume to paper > litter is a little presumptuous, no ? > after all, corpses tend to have a higher mass than > paper, until > decomposition starts. > besides, that's what cremation is for. ;) ;) > > and for christ sakes, you're missing the point of > what we're trying to say: > is it that fucking hard to PICK UP YOUR PROTEST > SIGNS and put them BACK IN > YOUR CAR, instead of leaving it on the streets ??? > or are you just > justifying the litter: 'hey, it's a peace rally. > we're ALLOWED to leave our > signs on the streets' > > > ___________________________________________________________________ > The D mailing list > http://www.djdenise.com/ > Check out the new forum! > http://www.djdenise.com/forum/ > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
