Welcome to Ycarcomed (Democracy spelled backwards)

[complain jane]

While sitting here waiting for Cable Guy to come hook up my cable, I'm pondering this:

Why not just friggen spell it backwards. Because that's what it is, everything is, backwards under George Bush's administration, the exact opposite.

For example:

BushCo tells us that we are hated in the Muslim world because "they" "hate our 'freedoms'". While they tell us this, they dismantle the Constitution and limit the freedom we once had, and we're told that this is so we can be "free".

BushCo or at least the neocons who support him say that these terrorists are terrorists because they want to intimidate us; and to show them it won't work, we need to be over in Iraq and God knows where else to prove a point. But if you know anything about PNAC and its' doctrine you know that the purpose of the *pre-emptive* Iraq invasion and others to come is to start and win multiple wars simultaneously in the international theater in order to intimidate other countries to begin with.

:crazy:

BushCo says we are spreading "Democracy". They've essentially just hijacked that word, that brand name and logo, and all the good that the word once stood for, and slapped that label onto a package containing nothing of the sort, that we've decided to force down the throats of Iraqis which would cancel out the very nature of Democracy to begin with.

Let's say you like Ford cars. It's like, you've bought Ford cars all your life, you have fond memories of Ford cars; you've bought Ford cars to support the Ford Motor Company which always seemed to consist Ford CEO's who upheld the original Ford Motor Company philosophy (more or less). You even maybe went to war to defend the Ford Motor Company once. Or your loved one(s) did. All of a sudden some other company turns up and takes over Ford in a hostile takeover. But they still produce Ford Cars, so they say; the name's still "Ford", the logo's the same. So you buy your new Ford car and start it up and find out it stands still. Or goes backwards. You complain to Ford. This new Ford Motor Company says "You're nuts- you must be anti-cars. Or anti-Ford. You probably side with the foreign car companies! How dare you complain. You ingrate! This is a Ford, because we say so." But you tell them- no, the whole purpose of the Ford Car is to drive it so it gets you from place to place. This new Ford that YOU are making is the opposite; it stands still. The Ford Motor Company says you're nuts. Your neighbors start putting Ford Motor Company lawn signs out and big F bumper stickers on their cars.

People start buying Ford cars and not going anywhere. We're losing jobs; nobody's getting to work. They get up, get showered, leave for work, sit in the car in the driveway- and never go anywhere. Just sits there. So they get fired, because their new Ford won't take them to work. You point it out to them- hey, maybe you need a different car, things don't seem to be going too well for you with this one- and your neighbor tells you it's not so bad, after all, it's a Ford, and we love Fords, that's what's important. Why switch cars midstream?

And actually, the way this new company took over the old Ford Motor Company's quite an interesting story as well. They bought the company and then early on they had heard that in a plot to sabotage the Ford Motor Company, someone from a rival company was going to drive a vehicle straight into a Ford Motor Plant, killing people. It might be a disastrous, unimaginable tragedy, killing thousands. Hmmm, thought the new owners of the Ford Motor Company. If this happens, the whole community will rally around us, and we can completely dick up the company and impose all our cost-cutting measures on the production lines and materials because nobody's going to question anything we do in such a time of tragedy. Those dimwits who used to buy these cars bought them because they liked the cushy seats and the sweet stereo and fast engines. But that's inconvenient; I want to make millions and billions and I can't do that if we keep giving them what they bargained for.

Hm, thought the new Ford CEOs, if we let this happen on purpose, we can get away with just about anything.

And so it went. I'm tired of typing. And the Cable Guy's still not here.

on edit: sorry, I messed up the link.

1. Maybe I should have used the cable company

instead of the car co.
