If mad dog killers hijacked our government, what would you do? |
|
would you wait till the next election and hope for the best?
pray real hard that god will make them go away or grow a heart?
try to reason with them, appealing to their human side?
elect a democrat and let the assholes harrass him for 4 years?
get real mad, storm the bastille, arrest the mad dog killers and take back OUR government? ...........................................
i'm open for suggestions. i don't have any clever solutions, i'm all alone out here, screaming to myself impotently.
but if this bizarre scenario actually happened, mad dog killers, squatting in the white house trying their damndest to start world war three and conquer the world, what WOULD you do?

2. I'd vote for John Kerry! |
|
And if that didn't work I'd order a case or two of industrial strength Duct Tape and some of those batteries that just keep "Going's and Going's and Going!"

11. I forgot the MAIN Thang! |

If John Kerry can't do shei'ite, then I reckon we'd better lock and load! First they'll take the Arabs, then the sick, then they'll take Granny, then the poor, then the democrats, then the greens, then the union members, then the bible thumpers then the moderate pubbies, and everything in between! There will be no place for anyone but the MASTER RACE, that got the big tax cuts! History is redundant!

we could set up a commune.
PS. I'd also spend a lot more time naked in the cellar.

concerned.
It's just that everyone else is starting to figure it out NOW.
But it's ok... all will be right with our world, VERY soon.

If more people saw things that way, I'd be with you in storming the bastille. I've said 100 times the country ought to be at the White House with pitch forks and torches, I've got the duct tape if you'll bring the rope, haul 'em out and throw 'em over the Grand Canyon.
Unfortunately, enough of the country just isn't there. So it's plan b.

16. What if you, and others, were in a van driven by a guy |
|
who was obviously drunk, and started mowing down homeless people and other pedestrains, killing them.
He's supposed to drive you twenty miles to the airport, and immediately does this in the first mile.
He tells you that he's doing God's work, that the people he's running over are threatening to those in the van. He swears he's got pictures of one of them with a gun.
Do you ....
a. Let him continue driving you to the airport? Where you get out and go along your merry way and hope you never see him again?
b. Assume that law enforcement will eventually stop him, even though there's no sign of them?
c. Praise him and give him money and ask if he can drive you all the way to Texas?
d. Debate, with the other passengers, the merits of the driver as you careen through the THUMPING pedestrains?
e. Grab the wheel, wrest control of the van, bring it to the side of the road, take the motherfucking keys and call the cops?
Thanks for posting what you did, because I've been thinking the exact same thing for a while and it makes me want to fucking SCREAM. Either that or take matters into my own hands (yeah right).
I just can't get over the fact that SO MANY GODDAMN PEOPLE want to WAIT UNTIL THE ELECTIONS and not even that they want to wait until fucking JANUARY to get this gangster murderer out of office, thinking that he'll just go away then and in the meantime PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED EVERY GODDAMNN DAY
PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED EVERY DAY.
If one of those people killed TODAY was a loved one of yours, how would you feel? Would you be glad you sat back and watched the "system work?" Or would you think "shit, maybe we shoulda dragged that guy out on his ass and introduced him to the nearest lamp-post?"
ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

19. I'd hit him over the head, |
|
with a case of the afore mentioned survive-o-biscuits. Then through him out and use the van to take the victims to the hospital.

This "faith in the system" that most of the people in the US seem to be demonstrating is what got us into this mess in the first place.

22. I believe the founding fathers wrote in provisions for such occasions |
|
where they said the people could kick the bastids out if the bastids were in fact bastids.
That's what "impeachment" is supposed to be for.
That's what "nobody is above the law" is supposed to be about.
Are you happy to wait until January for Bush to leave? How many people are gonna die just TODAY because nobody's got the guts to take him out of power?

28. The letters can sometimes make a difference. |
|
But sometimes not. I wrote Congress an outraed note about the Arar kidnapping/torture case and got back a snarky letter that said "We need Syria's help in the war on terror." :puke:
Still, I do try to write the Fools on the Hill with some regularity.

Since I am still trying to believe that the best way to change the system is through the system I guess I would say we must wait until the next election and place our votes. That does not mean we can be apathetic about what is happening. We must learn the facts and search for the truth. Then go forth and shout it from the rooftops and whisper it in the streets.
However if that process doesn't work I am afraid the time may be approaching when we are forced to grab our pitchforks and storm the bastille. Let us pray it does not come to that.
