Yes, brainwashing is a very powerful force. The government has very effectively now created a populace that no longer holds valuable its civil liberties - and sees anyone who dissents as a "terrorist." I honestly believe that if the madman declares himself dictator, the people will happily accept it. They honestly believe that he is "protecting them from terrorism" and that they must relinquish freedom and human rights in order to obtain that "protection." Yes, little George is a paragon of virtue, safeguarding his own citizens and altruistically seeking to spread democracy throughout the world. God help us! Actually, I think people are waking up, now - but King George IV and his confederates are still getting away with their crimes. Will nobody stand up to that psychotic monster? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hank Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 11:27 AM Subject: [pnews-views] Re: [pnews-news] Wearing the Wrong T-Shirt to Vote > ----- > / o o \ > ====OO=====OO=== > http://pnews.org/ > Progressive News & Views (since 1982) > ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| > Something Really Nice and Beautiful for > your Honey - http://blackhillsg0ld.com/ > Something Really Sexy for Her for Holloween: > http://tinyurl.com/q878y > > -- > > How indeed do so many go along?
