All those tax dollars spend and Fizgerald says he's not taking it any further?
This was all just for show .... nothing more than an expensive show. What about the crime of outing a CIA agent? What about the lies to start this illegal war? The evidence is clear yet no one is being charged why? It's all bullshit.:wtf:
:stoned: :hippy: :noel:
the evidence is any thing but clear. though i would love to see the instigators of every unjust war prosecuted and imprisoned, that is the prerogative of the victor. in the murky world of politics there are few clear-cut facts and scapegoats are regularly offered up to protect the guilty. for every fact that says we've been lied to, there is a corresponding fact that says that all the actions taken were proper. for every piece of evidence to prove one side of the story there is someone to say that it is a fabrication or it has been taken out of context. believing in the truth is like believing in god, at some point you must take something on faith.Quote:

Man are you delusional or what. There is truth. Truth is a compiliation of facts that form a cohesive statement. Like today is not yesterday and also not tomorrow. that is a true statement. You can go off on a million tangents like, well in morrocco, it's tomorrow etc, but thats just disguising the truth with bullshit. Here, now, it is today! The sun is hot, a true statement. Bush and friends are the most agregious crooks since Nixon, a true statement! I'm hoping you can add a little fun to your dismal life and start seeing humanity as a well meaning but blundering bunch of hapless souls, that basically try and do good. there are a modicum of bad apples, but by and large the human race is trying to apply for citizenship in the afterlife, the elevated version,
truth is something experienced, not merely taken on faith. possibly you have some personal knowledge that the rest of us lack, but i am a mere mortal and not privy to events beyond my perception. yes, there are the small everyday truths; but you know perfectly well that wasn't what i was talking about. if you spent a little time collecting facts you would find that there are very few. most of the available information is opinion and even that varies so widely, there is no true consensus. since i have no agenda to forward, i'm not about to blithely back one set of opinions and ignore the rest. i realize that this leaves me with few causes to fight for, but i'd much rather be fully informed before i go charging into the fray than fight meaningless battles on shaky ground. i'm sure that you believe your set of gathered opinions and could recite them chapter and verse, just as i'm sure that i could find a set of opinions to counter each of yours. if you go looking for facts to fit your opinions, you will most certainly find them.Quote:

but, believe it or not, i do still have hope. i guess i'm as big a fool as the rest of 'em.
well, my work here is done. i've insulted both democrats and republicans, conservatives and liberals. i've condemned the very basis of our political system and claimed that all available information is tainted. i really feel good about myself and i think i deserve another bowl.
:bonghit:
Man, you're too hard core for me to argue with. When you see all as nonsense, it doesn't leave much room for discussion. I guess the rest of us "Hapless fools" will just have to bumble along through our mundane lives trying to make a little sense out of nonsense. I'd argue with you about the Clinton years as being good ones, (for me), but that would go no-where so, I'll just respectfully view your "opinions" as everyone elses and judge them from my perspective as you judge others from yours. Fair and balanced,~LOL~Quote:
