  1. U.S. Election
    I happened to be right at ground zero in Columbus, Ohio where all the nail biting was going on. It was a memory for a lifetime. As much as you folks in OZ may have not liked Howard’s re-election, it is a REAL trend in this world that most folks want this terror thing to be resolved because no amount of wishing and hoping will make it go away.

    Like it or not, America has spoken as well.

    1. I hear what you are saying
      Hi Xavier, I hear you loud and clear, as I heard the election results, and to me it just confirms that Bush has succeeded in frightening the life out of enough people so he can win the election, with a little help from his friends.
      As the next few years come upon us, watch carefully what is happening to your country, as I will mine,and you will see where all this is taking us.
      Now if that little creep Blair wins his election, it will be vale Western Civilization.

      1. Don’t let them get to you
        If Kerry had have won there would have been no substantial difference in approach. Bush and Kerry weren’t really that different. The election didn’t genuinely offer a choice. The American People lost the election, poor bastards never had a chance.

        1. I realise that
          Hi Jameske,
          You’re right about Kerry, but I felt that he was at least removed from all the crooked White House shennanigans that have been going on, with Cheney etc.and that could only be a plus.
          From what I see of American politics, the Democrats don’t seem to have much going for them any more.
          I suppose to elect Kerry would just have been like shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

  2. love the quote
    Ah…I smell the delicious fried onion smell of another conspiracy.The aroma has been wafting past my nostrils now for 3 years.
    I always thought that the WTC bombing was partly an inside job, from the moment I saw the event on TV.
    I guess now there will be no more chance to find out for sure with Bush re-elected for another term.
    I heard Arundhati Roy ( author of God of Small Things and Indian activist, and winner of Sydney Peace Prize 2004) say last night that terrorism is only privatised war, and if you take that concept,and consider who is making all the money from the war…….
    Roy also said that weapons used to be made to suit the war they were needed for; now wars are being waged to suit the weapons.
    Put the WTC in that context and you could just s$$t your pants.
