a correction,
bible was written just 1700-1800 yrs ago. thus the saying that “those who have not, will lose even the little they have” was written ca 12k after prostitution (AP) and not millennia BP (b’fore prostitution)
folks, u should chalenge me on this.
how do i know that lying came before P? and religion before P and lying/deceiving? and religion must have emerged some mn yrs ago?
well, i don’t know. but if i am erring, i’d like to err for benefit of P and serfs.
similarly, if i am erring in my proclamation that we peasants r ok, i am erring in our favor.
or in short, i am saying the necessary/desirable truth.
well, i am happy for my readers while i am here; after i go, well, i don’t know.
my name means gift to human race. and the problem w. that is? that i believe it. thnx

as the bible says (cynicly), Those which don’t have, even what they have will be taken away from them.
pals, afghans, syrians, iraqis have so little but even that was taken from them.
mind u, this was said before prostitution started some 15K ago and 5-15K before BP, cheating, lying, deceiving was institutionalized.
prostitution cldn’t have, i think, preceded the oldest profession.
but, guess, what had clergy condemned most vigorously: innocent women!

To all who oppose the war. To all who really call themselves ‘progressives’, now is the time to act.

We can see the course of this election. Obama and the Dems win in a landslide. That’s the big course of things and its set and its already in motion. Even if it wasn’t true, which it probably is, the corporate money would insist on it being so.

We are going to see an Obama administration with the Dems in control of Congress. We know that by default the Dems won’t want to listen to us. That they’ll still want to continue the wars. That they won’t prosecute the Bush criminals. That they’ll give our money to their rich friends on wall street. We know this from the Democrats.

So ok, how do we make an Obama administration respect us and do what we want? We keep hearing how we have to be the ones to ‘pressure’ an Obama administration. How do we do that?

The only language they understand is political power. We need to show it. We need to have ever Democratic congress critter l0oking at the combined Nader\McKinney vote in their district or state and saying ‘holy shit!’. The more votes we put on the board right now, the more we get their attention and the more respect we get. By putting votes on the board right now, we show political power.

Its a safe vote. Obama wins in a landslide. The states ‘in play’ are traditional Republicans ones like Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina. To even think about winning, McCain has to sweep every state where he’s even within shouting distance of Obama.

Spread the word. Now is the time. If there was ever a moment to vote your conscious and vote for an alternative to the corporate parties. Its a safe vote. Obama wins big regardless. The key point for right now is actaully the closer we make it, the better for us. If the Democrats are holding their breath on election night saying ‘holy shit!’ watchinge the numbers roll in with state after state they thought was solidly there’s instead becoming razor thin with big voters for Nader and McKinney.

Do you want to really stop these wars Do you want to stop this and end it? Then vote your conscious. Register a political earthquake the Dems can’t help but feel.

Me, I’m personally in favor of kicking the Democrats as hard as I can where it hurts the most. I think of all the sell out votes on the war and impeachment and the bailout and I just want to kick them in the nuts. But, even when you admit Obama is marginally, just, but marginally better than McCain, then you have to admit the closer it is, the more strength we show right now, the better off we are.

We want every congressional dem looking ahead to the 2010 elections, seeing a strong Nader\McKinney vote in their districts, and shuddering at what the prospects of an angry progressive antiwar third party campaign in 2010 would do to their congressional careers. You want to stop these wars? That’s how to do it.

America has been leaving its troops all over the world for decades. It’s still entrenched in Japan and Germany for Christ’s sake!

It’s imperialism by stealth. At least the Germans made their intentions clear!

If the Iraq Gov wishes for the Americans to leave,then the Americans will honor their wishes. The Iraq Gov cannot protect itself adequately.
Iraq would be a client state of Iran. Outside of The Americans the Iranians view Iraq as a place of huge strategic interest.

When I read statements from US policymakers telling the world that Iraq is still not capable of defending itself without US help

If Iraq had nuclear weapons, it be able to defend itself. I wish Saddam Hussein had realized this. It would have saved US a lot of trouble.

to make it easier to understand: plotters of US invasions of afgh’n and iraq never counted on winning,
thus, US can’t lose whatever ensues. and since the history will not be written any longer (if it ever had been), ruling class in US has tripple assurance that they’r winners.
and the uncle has not lost a war yet. and now w. more power than ever how can he lose a war?
and against enorm weaklings? thnx
