Why do we endlessly fight for truth, justice & American way? Y investigate
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 01:30 AM by jamboi
at all? Why don't we wait around for the MSM to "legitimize" our concerns? Why don't we all just go back to our couches and flip on Monday night football? We'll all be numb and feeling better soon. Why would we want to risk anything and support the likes of WILD-eyed fear mongers like Palast, Madsen and Hartmann, Rhodes, Milloy, Olbermann and their WILD scarey stories they tell. What do they know anyway. And what is an affadavit detailing organized crime worth anyway? A murder? Who really cares about these little details? They'll be swept under the rug and we'll all feel better real soon now. Ah, I feel the numbing coming on...

9. Too right, JamBoi
I'm going to go do my nails now .... and after that I'm going to wash this tiresome voter fraud right out of my hair.

Pish posh, anyway, who eva' heard of voter fraud -- this IS America after all -- the greatist country in the world -- in case some of you black clouds haven't heard.

You guys are giving me a bad hair day.

:party:

2. With no instant gratification people get cranky
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 01:10 AM by ValleyGirl
I agree with you jamboi. The efforts of everyone investigating the various aspects of all this gets major kudos from me. From the statisticians to the e-machine auditor types to the university brains to the political wonks to the investigators to our man Keef - I am grateful these people are stepping up to the plate and trying to get to the truth. I wish I had half the smarts and investigative savvy as so many people I've seen come thru here. Sure, some bits will not pan out, some will be red herrings, etc. but I'd rather have a defeated effort than no effort at all.

5. I agree, but truth has become lost in this country. The most
powerful ones in the country have sold us out--the mainstream media. All it would take is for them to print and broadcast the truth, but I am afraid they have been bought.

3. You're right
For me It's been all the newbie nay sayers who have finally convinced me by the weight of their numbers and cogent arguments. So well thought through.

It's all clear to me now. I can see my replacement pod in the driveway. Finally. I'll be free. It'll be so good to be relieved of the democracy's burdens. So.good...So.good.

6. That's a relief. I was afraid there you might have an errant thought. We
can't have that.

14. Some can ignore...but we CAN'T...because
"What we see,we SEE; and SEEING is changing." (Adrienne Rich)

Or...to quote Robert Kennedy: "Our happiness will come not from the goods we have, but from the good we do together."

Sorry, but it seems our fate in life to be that proverbial 'rudder' that turns the 'boat' around.:kick:

19. Errant Thought Returning From Running Errands
We are Superman/Superwoman Jamboi. If only the fat, stupid, violent, sex deprived, ass licking, lottery hoping, fucktards out there would wake up maybe they would notice our glorious capes.

I'm flying around fucking up bad guys every fucking day. YEAH!!!!!

I FUCKING ROCK and I don't need Oprah or Dr Phil to tell me so. Those two over paid, over fed, over indulged, over valued asshats can take out my fucking trash thank you very much.
