This can't be real

[SOLAteeda]

For the sake of this country I hope he makes an exception to that. Too many naive, uneducated, fat, happy, complacent, and lazy people in this country.

Unfortunately, those people will remain naive, uneducated, fat, happy, complacent, and lazy unless they are influenced by people who are informed, educated, healthy, aware, anxious, and willing to work for what they believe in.

When the majority of our population are glued to the television whenever they aren't doing something else unconstructive, it is hard to change things for the better. I'm not saying that tv is inherently evil, I like to watch an occassional episode of House, but most people don't realize what is happening when you sit and stare at the tv for long amounts of time. Conditioning wasn't just a guy with a bell and some dogs, it is being pushed upon most of our population every day. Wonder why Obama won the election(without making it about race)? I wonder if you had an archive of all tv coverage of politcal candidates prior to the election, which candidate would recieve the most face time?

If anyone has really watched the speeches that man has made and knows any history, they may find the wide, flamboyant gestures and repetition of phrases similar to an up and coming politician in the '30s...

Ha, I don't watch much tv, but will have to find some videos to compare.

Who cares about this government mumbo jumbo? Did anybody catch dancing with the stars last week?

The president can sign all of the treaties he wants. They don't mean squat until the senate ratifies it.

Sadly, it's real; but it reminds me of my favorite Greenpeace story.

During the Foster administration, Greenpeace came to Louisiana to raise a fuss about pollution turning all of our fish toxic - "Poison Poisson" is what they called it, I think. They caught a fish in Louisiana waters, cooked it, then marched on the Governor's Mansion to present it to Foster. He wasn't there, but they were met by Press Secretary Marsanne Golsby (a friend of mine back then). She listened to their speech, and when they presented her with the fish, she whipped out a fork and began eating it right in front of them!

They were horrified, but she asked them, "Y'all wouldn't really try to feed the Governor a poisoned fish, now, would y'all?"

They left town the next day.

Yeah, but that is if we actually followed the Constitution.

Damn, never thought of greenpeace like that. They have proven themselves right on the nuclear issue to me. Now that I see these enviromentalist agendas for what they are lately, all i'm seeing is red. Funny thing that the Soviets have turned a lot of their country into an uninhabitable land, proof that the environment is a non-issue under communist rule.
