Exposing the Wrong Side of Right

If you know so much about LA you would know that the conditions in the neighborhoods where these people live are not to be envied by anybody. Take a ride around MacArthur Park some day and tell me you want to trade places with the people living down there. posted 05/20/2008 at 11:14:00
Blather's post is representative of the older people still stuck in the last century. Thankfully the generation coming up seem to look at things differently and fortunately will be the ones around after this sort of obsolete thinking has disapeared. Or maybe it's too late and were headed for a nuclear or environmental calamity that will at least scale back the corporations abuse of technology and there will be enough people left to repopulate. or maybe the shithouse is just going to go up in flames. posted 05/20/2008 at 11:08:28

Great article. Usually articles by boomer about boomers and the sixties are so overromanticed I can't stand to read them.

I believe I have an answer, when times are chaotic and resources and territory are up for grabs the minority of people who are predatorial are able to get the people who normaly would be gentle, peacful citizens to follow them into a civil war based on whatever dogma is at hand, in this case religion. The sheep who follow them don't have to believe the dogma but follow out of fear anyway. posted 05/15/2008 at 11:16:05

The Bush Cheney cabal knew full well that Al Queda were not in Iraq. They went in for the oil and to settle an old score (Sadam trying to assasinate Bush I). They've ripped off billions of taxpayer dollars on bogus contracts as well as training a private army (Blackwater). Where is the outrage that these Blackwater thugs are payed 3 times what legitimate troops are payed while our soldiers are being supplied with shoddy armour. It can only happen in a country where a lot of people are not thinking. I genuinely believe however that the public is waking up. posted 05/15/2008 at 11:10:06

Sept. 11 families fear war-crimes trial

Nobody's defending them but I'm not happy about having the government use 9/11 as a tool to push through various immoral things like invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and using S&M to torture people. Yes I believe that suspected terrorists are still people. They don't torture serial killers why do they get a blank check to torture terrorists. Because people are so afraid that they will abdicate their humanity thats why. People who tend to support your view act as if no other event in human history has any signifigance but 9/11. Could it be because you listen to your Fuhrer repeat it over and over and over. posted 05/14/2008 at 13:29:19

The Tortured Law on Torture

Before I read this piece I would have agreed with you. The fact that the government is condoning S&M, and driving prisoners insane in my opionion puts them on a par with the Nazi's. At the very least you have to admit that it the same style of behaviour. What sane person could live with himself after supporting this behavior? posted 05/14/2008 at 12:33:16
The point here is that torture is inhumae and when you allow yourself to rationalize it because you are afraid (in this case of terrorists) then you become as bad as the terrorists. Personally when I hear about a government condoning S&M as an approved tactic I can't help but think of The Nazi's and concentration camps. It is the utlimate in degradation of a person's soul to condone this. posted 05/14/2008 at 12:29:19

Skyrocketing Energy Prices

They refused to place fuel efficiency limits that are reasonable on SUV's. I would have just banned them exept for commercial use. They have'nt done anything to promote the development of alternative energies. Our military uses as much gas as the rest of the country combined (with no emission standards). posted 05/13/2008 at 15:09:13
Please see Enron and the deregulation of electricity in California. Peoples electrical bills shot up through the roof. It does happen. But your right supply will not be able to keep up with demand as if large populations like the Chinese and India all decide they need SUV's. I just hope there's enough left to run my Harley. posted 05/13/2008 at 15:03:05

"American Idol" Bosses Defend Paula Abdul

It's a reflection of a dead flat cultural place that some people are in. There is no excitement without risk and rebellion and sex.
