I pity the poor immigarant who fills his mouth with laughing
And who fills his town with blood
"We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.
There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train."
I think it is load of hogwash to say that coservatisim is more compassionate than liberalism and only want to help the little guy while the liberals just want to help the big businesses. It is the other way around if anything.
Moreover if at the end Charles Mansion feels sorrow for what he had done and had others to do and sincerely regrets having done it and wants to be forgiven then he is every bit as worthy or equal as Ghandi notwithstanding his previous actions. He still has to pay for his crimes but he is just as worthy to be forgiven as anyone else.
A nation is not measured only by our standards. If the people in a nation want to rule by Islam or anything else then that is their right as people of their own nation and they are just as worthy as people as those living in a democratic state.

He who has nothing but fear in his heart is a man to be pitied, not admired.
There's also tempered optimism. Believing the glass is half full but checking it from time to time for leaks.
Deliberately misreading dyslexia's meaning doesn't alter his original statement.
Mr. Wizard, goodun.
C.I., Aren't you delighted that I directed folks here?

perception has taken the t.v. program "quantum leap" a step further than usual in leaping across interstellar regions of intentional mis-intrepretation.

nimh - translate dys' tagline. you will, i think, recognize it. a nice piece of canadiana.
ebeth, no ... i dont recognize it. (wouldnt have asked otherwise!)
I think not casting aspersions on our own party's leadership and sticking one's head in the sand are the dangers of our political system. We still have 50 percent of our citizens absent from voting, and the other 50 percent fighting and arguing about the wrong things - and doing very little to correct the problems. Why is it that we are spending $200 billion in Iraq while our own infrastructure goes wanting? Doesn't the people see problems with this? Maybe, too few recognize it as a problem. We'd rather argue about Iraq's sovereignty, and the Peterson murder trial.
Bye
