I hesitate greatly to open the floodgates, but what contempt is that exactly? All I ask of you is to read the link to a blog post of a fellow citizen, is that so much? Really, it was like I was offering cubic zirconiums. I get some leakage from the White House propaganda machine, and if you don't think Ari wasisname has total contempt for the public, then, you ain't watching the same teevee I am. Just turn off the sound when you see him and look at the body language. But also read this link: Here's an excerpt:

So here is my own position: I'm pissed off at being treated like an idiot. Specifically, I'm pissed off at being asked to believe that the most imminent threat to our safety, in an age of militant religious Islamic terrorism, is a third-rate secularist dictator whose ass we have already kicked from here to Sunday. To hear the Bush cabinet tell it, Iraq is now a greater and more imminent danger than North Korea, a country that actually has nuclear weapons and is busy making more, a country that will sell weapons to any buyer who can pony up the cash. More importantly, a country that now has an untested ballistic missle capable of hitting the West Coast.

And tell me how this doesn't make sense, and why you have any confidence in the corporate oligarchy which rules your country. I don't say govern, because they don't. I don't say lead, because they don't. They rule by distraction, by disinterest. They rule. I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum. ]]>

"I curious" I just want to point out this is in an "I and I" sort of way, rasta-wards tip. After all if Jah has the answer, his poodles piddled on my shoes. And since the fascist air force did bomb the fuck out of Ethopia, well, the comparison holds true. And we can hope Bush will hang well with Il Duce. ]]>

All I know is that Sun Ra wouldn't approve of any thing the Bush junta is doing. I curious, how do you reconcile the obvious contempt the US government has for the public and any intelligence they may have? ]]>
