The American people
used to have education - that doesn't exist anymore.

The American people

used to have, based upon that semi-education

logical, responsible answers to ignorance.

Now. The American People respond daily to

the unbelievable

the incredible

the unknown.

The American People have been led

down a path of evil.

Those that still can end a sentence know

period. No question.

Leave no child behind.

Behind what? A parent that doesn't know shit?

The end.

1. "The American people want..."
I get so tired of hearing Dubya say, "The American people want ..."

He really means he wants ..., and hasn't a clue what the American people really want, nor does he care. What he wants is not usually what I want, that's for sure.

He only makes appearances where he is sure there won't be any dissention. How sure can you be when you make a speech for the military? Pretty darn sure. Those guys would get court marshalled if they even asked the wrong question in the presence of His Royal Majesty George the 43rd. He does not tolerate anyone disagreeing with him, surrounds himself with "yes men," and hasn't a clue nor a concern about what the rest of this country wants. So the next time you hear Dubya say, "The American people wanted to go to war," or the American people wanted him to live in the White House, try to keep your lunch down -- he really believes it.

2. He does really believe it
The protester zones are now in the next county. He is fed a steady diet of what his brain can handle. Need I say more?

3. In the words of Aldous Huxley .................
Unexciting truths will be eclipsed by thrilling falsehoods.

Man has an almost infinite appetite for distractions. These distractions provided by newspapers and magazines, by radio, television and the cinema. Non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of social and political situation.
