There is no *lesser* when it comes to political evils. Just the ones in
power, and thus the ones taking the heat. And the ones in the temporary
minority, who can sit back and quietly exploit the country whilst their
oponents get nailed.

Yes, I have. Twice. Once, I was wrong. The other time, I'm absolutely
sure I was right.... but, let's just say some things are beyond mortal
control.

I don't know about you, but I don't think it's the *pocket* that the
trunk is going for.

I just call it a REALLY BIG ASS.

You're the one who brought up the war, dude.

Nothing wrong with polyamorous activities. Except the potential for
disease exchange.


I've never been, but I know a very *very* committed 4 person
polyamorous "creche". 2 men, 2 women. All bisexual, and other than their
group, completely faithful. And in it for the long term, as they "paired
up" with legal marriages, and got these odd next-of-kin type legal
documentations that essentially makes you siblings with someone.


I rather envy them, in a way. They love each other. They trust each
other. They have a stability that most marriages will never know. They
also have three kids with a fourth on the way- deliberate "mix and
match" parentages. So each one has a biological child with the two
opposite-gender partners.


Even polygamy should be viable for both genders. As a man might have
multiple women, so should a woman be allowed multiple men.

I don't support Bush. I support the truth. And in this case, Bush
happens to be on that side of the fence.

But, as they say, "Even a broken clock is right twice a day".

No, you got it all wrong. He was cryogenically frozen next to Walt
Disney. They're waiting until all the Jews are gone, and then they'll
build slavo-disney. And conquer the world.

Went to war? We've been at this war for over a decade. I know I keep
saying that, but since it's true, I have to constantly correct people
who say otherwise.

I still say it's more of a "translation" than an "illusion". But great
explanation, red.

You know, the USSR collapsed. There's no "soviet union" anymore, so I
don't think they count as "soviets". Just russians. But, yes, we
cheerfully spy on them even now, I'm certain.

You may even be right. But there still weren't any controvercies or
scandals with him. In fact, the closest thing to a "controvercy" was the
general disappointment when he stepped down after his second term.

Hard to accept? I thought it was a fact of life. For me, it was about
as obvious as saying flowers are prettier than dead weeds.

And Israel tries to squeeze spies into Iran, as well. Espionage is as
old as nations. Older, perhaps.


But, yes, for the most part the current Iranian government is not
particularly well liked. But it's slowly losing ground on the
"fundamentalist" attitude. They'll figure out that a more liberal
approach is better. Hopefully they'll be smart and never degenerate like
much of Europe and America has, but there's an innevitable trend in the
liberalized direction.

AB said it all better than I could. Which is saying something- whatever
else I may be, I'm good with words.


*standing ovation*

Actually, congress did approve the Iraq war. Over a decade ago. Desert
Storm never ended, people. We had a cease fire treaty that Saddam
violated repeatedly throughout the 90s.

Probably because he's copy/pasting and not actually typing out the
entire material.

I've *heard* of it. But nothing I could trust would be worth repeating.
Yes, do share the report.

Forget the printing press. Washington was about untouchable. If anyone
*tried* to bad-mouth him publicly, they'd probably have been lynched.

Washington. As far as I know, historically, he's the only president who
served even half a term without a scandal of some form.
