My main true confession
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 12:46 AM by Valerie5555
My main true confession is though I beleieve the "airliner of state" of the United States (and quite possibly by extension, the Free World) is highjacked, (and pardon the Sept 11 analogy, though it may seem quite apt), I wondered if I should also "sit back and enjoy the ride" as it were, and focus more on things that are within my control, as I wondered as to what if anything a Canadian could do to "pin the bastards down in the aisle, throw a coat or blanket over them and keep them pinned down," in a symbolic sense as advocated by certain airline captains who had piloted the first post Sept 11 2001 flights, for Canadians and internationals couldn't even vote in American Presidential elections.


On edit, I found had I known in '98 what I known now, that the whole "impeachment charade" was a different attempt to in a sense highjack the American Presidency, and not bought into the "Clinton is a sex rogue" stuff, I would have to say all right, I admit it, I probably at the time would have sent then President Clinton a note saying I was also "behind him all the way," and for him to not let the "evil cowards" get him down.

3. It's always good to focus on things that are in your control.
Also, I really don't want to be on any airplanes with you .....

4. Don't worry for I was just using that as a POLITICAL analogy of sorts
for if I was in an actual airline highjack situation I probably no doubt will fight back in that case, especially if there were a LOT of others to back me up.



Don't mind me for I was sort of vaguely frustrated since Friday, that Canadians and "internationallers," probably couldn't do that much, and suspected on Saturday that if we could vote in the American Presidential elections, John Kerry would have been put over the top as it were.

5. The Yanks are comin'
The nearby presence of Canada is a comfort to those of us here in Jesusland.....Keep those borders open.

Lotsa bad shit goin' down in the States and it ain't gonna get any better till it gets a whole lot worse.

6. Too bad the so called Free World couldn't vote on this technicality
in terms of how the American President, is in a sense, it's "Leader."


Maybe we could say, ergo, "DON'T BLAME US, FOR WE DIDN'T ELECT BUSH AS OUR LEADER, EITHER."
