Who Makes You Want To Throw-Up?

sumac, it's pretty hard to take sometimes.

On that note, littlek, we are up beyond our bedtime and I bid you goodnight.

The leaders of the US. But Bush is not a leader, never was.

Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfovitz, Richard Perle: Those are the real leaders of the US and the leading advocates of hardline policies

Frolic, please stop! All those names at once. I'm running out of sick-bags.

Well John, if you run out, I understand there are many many airlines that would be just delighted to sell you more....
.....sell you anything!

I agree with frolic, but Bush still makes me wanna throw up:

The protests in San Francisco were not all of a piece; not everyone was out there blocking traffic. Here is a column from Joan Ryan in the SF Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/03/21/ED278582.DTL

I am fine with protest and have protested myself recently. but I am not keen on disruption of "business as usual", for many reasons. It is too much of a bludgeon and goes from self expression to interference with others' rights. In some instances I am a strong believer in the institutions that are shut down, such as universities during the Vietnam war protests. I am a strong believer in the life of cities, and don't think chaos does the life of the city any good at all.

Further, as a practical point, I don't think disruption is as effective as peaceful non-provocative protest, and that it diminishes any good the protesting might have accomplished before.

the naked protests did do a good job of being "loud" and being peacefully un-disruptive.

"Shall Kent be mannerly when Lear is mad?"

Bush being groomed and smirking and trying to be a serious, responsible man.

wolf- Please check your PMs. In it I explained why I had deleted your link, and I find that the message is still sitting in my Outbox, meaning that you have not retreived it. Also, please read the Announcement on Links.



Link to Announcement about links

Ok; sorry.

Most English politicians do little to improve my digestion.

<sorry>

What is "the announcement on links?" I can't seem to find it, and when I click on the link in Poenix's post, I get nothing.

If some of you are concurrently carrying on conversations both in IMs and this thread, please do one or the other. The "in joke" thing is cute, but it gets old fast.

Yeah, and confusing, too!

Re the discussiion of disruption as tactic: I really have mixed feelings about it. In Seattle, the strategy is dash onto the freeway, and it's a great way to rile drivers. I'm not saying I feel sorry for the drivers, but is this really a good way to influence public opinion toward one's point of view?

I feel sorry for any driver having to contend with someone dashing in front of their car on the highway. That is truly a nervewracking thing and serves no purpose atall. Except perhaps getting yourself run over.

The Question
"Who Makes You Want To Throw-Up?"

Jack Daniels makes me want to. A couple nights a week.
Is it just me, or has anybody else been drinking a lot more lately?

I'm kinda hoping I don't adopt Bush's pattern:
-- raging drunk
-- DUI
-- born-again Xtian
-- warmonger

Please tell me that's not a slippery slope!
