I'm sure you do care as I can't imagine that you could possibly approve of the invasion of Iraq based on falsified information. i didn't, i don't. :-)) Thought not. but i don't give a flying **** who the president of the usa is, & that's the truth!! :-D whether i care or not i can't do anything about it, so i therefore don't invest any energy in caring about any of them. Well there is that. Given how sick I am of the coverage of the Democratic contest, by the time the real contest comes round to elect the new President, I don't think I'll give a flyer either. honestly, all we are seeing is the bush effect - nobody in the world wants to see anyone like that in power again, EVER. Sorry to say but Bush isn't the problem. Well he certainly isn't part of the solution either, but he and anyone in his position should be. If the new government doesn't go after the malfeasance of this administration, then we are all in deep doo. Welcome to our world Billy. We had the a similar situation here for the past 11 years. I have voted for both sides of the political spectrum in this country but I am very pleased that not once did I vote for anyone in the last Government. By the time they got the axe, they too had become a weeping sore just as Bush seems to have done for you. You get your chance next year but I have to say that so far I'm underwhelmed with your choices. oh dear. i think the truth is that most people worldwide are "a bunch of idiots". truly. the modern world is ridiculously complicated & lots of people simply can't keep up. Especially when their governments and the media present them with bald faced lies or information that is so freakin' skewed, that reality is imperceptible. If you're a democratically elected leader of a country that opposes American foreign policy, you're a militant. If you're a ruthless dictator who supports American foreign policy, you're our ally for peace. But I see that as the fault of a lazy public as all politicians will try to use that sort of idiotic brain washing. It's designed to manipulate those within the populace who are gullible and/or stupid. Anyone capable of any degree of clear thinking should only be caught by it once. How many times does Joe Public have to be bludgeoned over the head about whatever the current political issue is, get all excited and whipped up because of the patriotic (usually) rubbish he's being spoon fed before he finally starts to think for himself and realises that the last time he was sucked in and believed the lies, he felt like a total fool when it all came unstuck? It seems that Joe Public either doesn't care or is too stupid to know that he's being manipualted. With access to the internet, there is no way that anyone should accept unquestioningly anything they are fed by the media. The world is a big place and access to all sorts of differing of views is only a few clicks away (or should be). In the case of the Tampa and much else in the past 11 years it was a case of sinking backwards into the primordial ooze, not furthering the cause of rational thinking or high human ideals. Speaking of rational thinking, it was good to hear one of your countrym . ., hehem, citizens, Helen Caldicott, on the radio last thursday, http://www.flashpoints.net/ . She is supposed to be starting a new radio programm soon on KPFT, Huston http://www.kpft.org/index.php . Always refreshing to be exposed to reality. I've only ever read a few of the things she has written and heard her a few times as she has mostly lived in the US. What I have seen of her is impressive, as at least she seems to be able to use her loaf. Sadly there don't seem to be enough of such people around. |
