This is the reason we need civil libertarians instead of FASCIST PIGS in office. ANd this is the reason I am voting Bush out of office come next year.

I hope I'm not the only one who's starting to sympathize with the aliens in Mars Attacks when they came and cooked Congress.

Sooo many loose interpretations in those drafts and ammendments to those bills that can be abused. Not good at all...

Members of Congress who were upset by the provisions and the process that led to their passage may hold hearings on the matter early next year.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Hell with that, I'm starting to think Canada is still too close. Europe is starting to sound real nice.
