Poll question: If you could "torpedo" a WELL known person, would you?
I mean a REALLY well known person (perhaps a candidate or advisor?) that would f*ck up their plans?

Please toss in the source of info..Who happens to be a parental figure!

1. I'd need more specifics.
What's my motive? How do I come by this information? Who benefits?

Torpedoing someone just for the sake of doing it doesn't appeal to me.

3. No motive: Family: Those opposed to the "target".
It's a Biggon if you get my drift.

6. What if it's "Pre-Public" that would probably make a REAL difference?
Like I "Scored" a very important "scoop"?

PS~ the english language can't explain how disruptive this info is!

4. Interesting dilemma
Would doing so cause harm to that person but be of benefit to society as a whole? On balance, which side carries more weight?

10. Must be honest...Bush is not the issue.
I wish I had a "nugget" on him but alas I'm limited to our own.

11. One of our own
That is more perplexing. How bad is it? If we knew this, would we want to disown that person?

13. Now that I told you...
...(via PM) would you disown that person?

Look...The Capitalist whoring is the status quo and minus a revolution we're stuck with being "caring Liberals" which are literally cheerleaders for the cursed..

So it really doesn't matter that "dipshit"{ is the object of my attention!
