I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I'm curious as to whether there
is any rationality behind posts like this...
Im sure that it would be relevant to your employers if they find out
about your addiction.
Not that I have such an addiction, but why would it be relevant to my
employers? If it does not affect the quality of my work, and does not
make me unsafe, then it is my business (I'm not on duty 24 hours a day).
I happen to live in a free country, so things like drug tests by
employers are highly illegal and considered a breach of personal privacy.
Or the fact that you, like Bush, are simply
puppets, influenced by mind control rays operated by Grays, from their
black helicopters in L5.
I've lost track here. You think Bush is a mindless puppet controlled by
"black helicopters" ? Most people would disagree about the mind rays,
but a lot would agree about the rest.
Its absolutely fascinating to watch the Bush haters drift off into
whimsey...or rather , an attempt to demonize, simply because they are
still suffereing angst that they are no longer controlling the
country, and are not likely to do for any foreseeable future.
And where do you get the idea that I am a Bush hater? You seem to be
attributing all sorts of ideas that I haven't written about. As it
happens, I do happen to be a Bush hater, but that's on rational grounds
rather than because of some angst about lack of control of the USA. You
have been making the absurdly unwarented assumption that I'm American -
I'm a Scot, living in Norway. So my interest in American politics is
from the outside, looking in - it gives me a lot clearer view than most
American's seem to have. And "for the record" (a phrase that seems
popular in these sorts of newsgroup threads), I was not greatly
impressed by Clinton either - it's only in comparison to Bush that he
shines. In fact, I think you have to go a very long way back in
American history to get to a president that really deserved the job, and
dedicated himself to the good of his country.
Its actually quite pathetic. They simply cannot understand that the
People have rejected them and their failed policies of the past 40+
yrs, and rather than use a bit of introspection and self examination,
continue to spew the same vitrol filled mantras, and push the same
failed policies, but now even more shrilly, that cost them more and
more elections.
In the last election, I don't think the Democrats could have put in a
worse effort. Any rational objective thinker could see that their
candidate was far better, yet they managed to hide it incredibly well.
Add to that the level of fraud, corruption and vote rigging from the
Republicans, and is incredible that the election was so close.
I should mention at this time, that even the Conservatives are not
happy in full, with Bush. He is too moderate for most. So while you
are hoping and praying that the next election cycle will return you to
the Shining TImes of Liberalism...you are ignoring the simple
fact..that the next election cycle will see a change alright..but it
will be a change ever farther to the Right, not to the Left.
Bush is getting increasingly unpopular with just about everybody. As to
how things will go by the next election, I really could not begin to
guess. There is a steadily stronger pull from the far right, even
though they are a small fraction of the population. For comparison, it
only took a small fraction of far right extremists to take control of
1930's Germany.
You may wish to self terminate, or learn to suck it up, ruck up and
drive on.
Perhaps I'll just continue to watch from over here, and hope that Europe
doesn't get sucked to far in with America's problems and it's downfall
(we have enough problems of our own).
