75. If they're more concerned about being labeled 'dissident' then they are

Edited on Sun Dec-12-04 08:55 PM by meganmonkey

about restoring DEMOCRACY, that is their problem. Seriously. They can stay home and watch the latest makeover show while I stand out in freezing cold & sleet & high wind gusts at a rally.

Aren't the Ukrainians being referred to as dissidents? And our media is treating them like the ultimate democracy-warriors for protesting. Seems like a good thing to me...

on edit, after a google news search : okay, i guess the ukrainians are called 'opposition', cubans are called dissidents - the cubans we are trying to 'save' from the evil Castro...
