It's always been Evil. Bush43 used FUD to push through, or get away with, a whole grip of Evil though. >> Some folk don't like the idea of being watched all the time.

Is this statement similar to the one about McCarthy? "They /were/ spies" and "he had a plan and it /worked/"? He had a plan alright, and it seems to have worked. He and his friends are doing better than ever. "We the people" tho... no so much. Crappy plan in regards to the rest of us, IMHO. >> The rabid right is all over Obama; like bits of crap on a hairy >> asshole.

It's The Right that "gets stuff done" due to their unity, is what I was implying. Mostly it *is* shit, but still.

If you can only see in 1s and 0s, you wouldn't understand (unless you saw *everything* that way, which you don't). It is all about perspective though, isn't it? :Den -- All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
