New Book

[nines]

When I get a chance I'm gonna check this book (http://www.bushgreenwatch.org/mt_archives/000169.php) out. It's all about GW and his removal of environmental policies, etc.

Sorry man I don't know if I would ever want to read a book that is about bush! :eek:

[nines]

You have a point there. However, for anyone that doesn't already dislike Bush enough, this just might put them over the edge.

I already know he's the anti-Christ. Reading this will just make me madder and sadder and more vengeful.

Screw Bush. (n)

i allready know that he is killing our environment, and even if he was a stellar president outside of that, i could not bring myself to ever vote for someone with as little care for our planet...

and no, im not some extremeist hippie green person either...i just think its horrid and sad how that much can be changed so quickly all in the name of a few dollars...

I have not read them just yet, but judging by the authors, they should be winners.

The Good Fight : Declare Your Independence and Close the Democracy Gap by Ralph Nader.

Sadly, the Florida presidential fiasco of 2000 was anything but a
fluke. And things have only gotten worse with the advent of computer
touch-screen systems that experts have criticized as badly designed, poorly
programmed, unaccountable and unequal to the demands required of them.

A powerful new book by investigative reporter Andrew Gumbel takes a
tough look at electoral democracy in the US and blames the defects of
today's electoral system on a corrupted political environment created by
both major parties, and on a large number of state and county election
officials more interested in appearances than in the integrity of the
democratic process.

This morning, another insightful commentator, Paul Krugman, devoted
considerable space in his New York Times column to Gumbel's book, praising
it as "a very judicious work," which "provides the best overview I've
seen of the 2000 Florida vote. And he documents the simple truth: Al
Gore won the 2000 presidential election."

To read Krugman's column:

Along with his analysis of Election 2000, Gumbel recounts the
distressing but colorful history of electoral manipulation in America from the
framers of the constitution, through Boss Tweed's New York, the Daley
machine in Chicago and beyond. So whether you're a student of history, an
electoral activist or simply a citizen concerned with the state of
democracy in America, this book is for you.

If Christ and the Anti – Christ meet, do they annihilate each other and emit a high level of radiation? What electrical charge does the Anti Christ have (negative?)

Are we defiantly sure that Christ is the Good guy? I mean what if it turns out that that Jesus was the devil come to be nice to us and get us on his side, to make sure we all beat up the Anti Christ (true saviour) when he turned up? Ist that the sort of thing the devil would do?

It might be like Superman 2 when those dudes in Black come and everyone worships them but then they just burn shit until the real superman/God turns up to save us - but shit what if he has renounced his super God powers so he can bone some earth chick (he has been tempted before).

This is all of great concern. Sisko, as our religious expert, please put together a series of tests to determine the the validity of any incoming God. You need to act quickly cos I heard that either the Christ or the anti Christ is going to be here any second! :eek:

I'd like to note that my city never had a clean air emergency (warning us not to spend time outside) until our current governor and GWB clone. I remember three such emergencies recently.
