9/20    Anti-war mother's speech cut short" ... "An organizer was
        arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a
        permit." So if the city wants to ban protests, just don't
        issue permit? I guess freedom of gathering in this country is
        not as free as I thought.

        \_ Feel free to gather, but your freedom to gather should not
           impinge on my freedom to have a quiet day at home away from
           peacenik numbnuts. There is no other country that protects
           individual freedoms to the extent that the USA does. None.
                \_ Are you 100% sure about that after the Patriot act? --
                   born in a country where gay marriage is legal, pot is
                   legal, prostitution is legal, porn is freely displayed
                   in stores, you have a right to die if you want, etc.
                   \_ Yeah, but I bet you don't have a right to buy an
                      enormous automobile and get cheap groceries at
                      Walmart in whatever Communist hell you're from!

        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to

        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt

        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

2/16    "Iraqi: I'm proud my WMD lies led to war in Iraq"
        http://www.csua.org/u/sl0 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
           of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That
           is just awesome.
           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.

jpg Cindy Sheehan speaks Friday at a rally held at Independence Hall, in Phil adelphia. NEW YORK (AP) -- Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hur t slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone. An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit. "I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly," Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan's Union Squar e on Monday. Sheehan, the grieving mother whose vigil near President Bush's Texas ranc h sparked anti-war protests around the country, said she wasn't roughed up by police, but was jostled when officers broke up the rally and arres ted organizer Paul Zulkowitz. "I think their use of force was pretty excessive for someone that didn't have a permit," Sheehan said. Paul Browne, spokesman for the New York Police Department, said Sheehan h ad finished speaking when officers arrested Zulkowitz, who had been repe atedly warned that he didn't have a permit. Zulkowitz was charged with unauthorized use of a sound device and disorde rly conduct. Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq last year, is calling for the immed iate return of troops from the region. Her 25-state tour is set to culmi nate Saturday with an anti-war march in Washington. She gained prominence when she staged a 26-day protest near Bush's ranch outside Crawford, Texas.
