Reply #148: Precisely, Landshark! We must always consider the means and the end,

mustn't we?

Why drag the nation through a nasty controversy - even the dramas of court-room trials, the modern-day equivalent of the Western? And for what? Just so that the choice of your leaders should be your own, and not the choice of powerful, Big Business interests, such as the oil lobby? It really would make no sense at all, would it? I think it's simply political naivety to question election results. Un-American to the nth degree! Commie-inspired, I reckon!

Who could know better what is and what is not in the interests of the American people than the luminaries of the Forbes Four Hundred and their offshore compadres? Are we not, in both our countries, already sated with the manifold treasures of all kinds that their "proprietary" government shower down upon us?

Eat your hearts out, Europeans! Bah! You know what you can do with your free, universal health care, functioning trade unions and social safety nets, don't you? How many of those countries can boast that they spend such a mind-boggling percentage of their GDP on armaments, eh? Answer me that!

For shame, restless minds! You may hate Murrka, but Murrka doesn't hate you? How many times would it have gathered you to its bosom, you ungrateful progressives, like a mother hen its brood, but you would not! The Lament of the American military-industrial complex over the New Jerusalem, and those who would promote it. For shaaaaame!!!!!
