Reply #39: "that place where people believe space aliens cause tsunamis"

[whirlygigspin]

...and a warm welcome from the reality based community to you too.

It may be convenient and comforting to shrug off primary speculations about events as just so much "aliens cause tsunamis" rantings, but consider:

The current administration cares little about "reality";stating very honestly that they are only interested in "creating" their own reality, for profit.
(see the PNAC agenda)

And so Wars are fought on the basis of lies, "clear skies" belies more pollution; fake energy crisis are engineered; election results become questionable and even the rules of law no longer apply, as in the case of the Geneva conventions and the new "Gulag" at Guantanamo *see (Amnesty International)
--all for the benefit of a small faction who serve no public interest, indeed who do not believe in a public interest.

A key problem in governance recognized by James Madison and the other Founding Fathers of the US Constitution, on the rise of factions or special interests, which, "try to use the processes of government to further their own differential or partisan interests". These interests engage in seeking by transferring of rents from the public trust, or more simply put, are only interested in ripping you off.

All these things and not only erode public confidence in government but lead and contribute to people not believing anything in the main stream media. (how many of you believe anything they say anymore?)
Hence the wild speculation that comes from distrust and contempt.

America can bomb the hell out of Iraq for the next thousand years if it wishes, it won't make the least bit of difference. The terror comes not from Al Quaeda, but from the self imposed nightmare the Bush administration has chosen to live in by not facing reality, but rather by choosing to live in a neocon dream.
