The stamp should be upside down. The distress the US gubmint is causing worldwide, it can’t be any other way.

Haven’t got to read the article yet, but I’ve apparently inspired a column from the inimitable Kurt Nimmo, via a comment made elsewhere at PA recently. Heady praise, albeit indirectly, indeed!

You hit the nail on the head Kurt. Thune, the rabid fundamentalist right, Republicans, and most Democrats have more respect for the symbols of democracy than they do for its realities and institutions.
As for Canada...I’d much prefer Amsterdam. If somebody suggested that I’d ask how do I get there and how soon can I leave?

Tracy, I actually tried to raise funds to get myself to New Zealand, but short of a rich person, tired of my big mouth, ponying up that didn’t pan out. Of course, I jest, at least partially, but even so it would be nice to get out of here, at least until America comes to its senses.

I’m beginning to believe strongly that America is one of if not the worst country to live in. Primarily because it wastes all its resources and the countries’ it exploits, with the military monster.
I would think twice if America came to its senses too; but I’m beginning to believe more and more that only calamity will make it do so. And that don’t look like such a pretty picture.
In this political atmosphere I won’t spell out completely why Amsterdam seems particularly attractive to me. Maybe I should try Vancouver.?!

How to get there? Just call yourself ‘Yusuf Islam’ and you’ll be out of here, pronto.

A musical talent too good for America and an artistic hero of mine. That he’d be considered a terrorist threat is laughable if it weren’t so indicative of the depravity of the Bush neocons, who ought to be in the docket at the Hague facing war crimes charges. Yahoo News is reporting today that 35 children were killed in a “string of bombings in Baghdad.” Like the slaughter in Vietnam, so far as I’m concerned that barbarity, the whole Iraqi quagmire catastrophe can be laid directly at the doorstep of the US government. It’s not that we need more government, “laissez faire, free enterprise,” it’s that we need genuine democratic government, and not a war machine approximating the Nazis. And as represented by Ralph Nader.

I think people get too worked up over trivial things sometimes. Must be a slow newsweek.
Yeah Canada is too cold sometimes. The winter season is coming up.
