Honestly David, I can't tell what you are trying to say here. From the inside it seems that people pretty much get exactly the government they want in the US. When we get a bad one it's because we want a bad one. Nobody was fooled about what Bush and Cheney stood for. Maybe if you could provide an example we could follow you. At least we might move off the gun control thread where there hasn't been a single new idea. --- Just because they're good at propaganda doesn't mean we have to be good at stupid. -Marty Kaplan _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
