How can we 'spread democracy' when

[Bluerthanblue]

we live in a republic?

How can we 'give' something we don't posses ourselves?

Communist living can be living in 'democracy'.

Ben Franklin said "He" had created for America a "Republic" if we could keep it. Have we??

Can someone explain this to me, in plain english??



"And the second way to defeat the terrorists is to spread freedom. You see, the best way to defeat a society that is — doesn't have hope, a society where people become so angry they're willing to become suiciders, is to spread freedom, is to spread democracy." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., June 8, 2005

This scares the shit out of me. Demanding that we 'stay' in a 'war' that will without QUESTION cost more soldiers their lives, is not far from 'becoming suicide-rs'.

Call me crazy. Sanity isn't looking too appealing right now.

2. i'm on meds-

which help me NOT 'be like them'-
Could it be i'm having a paradoxical reaction?

Or that THEY need meds.

3. Meds, meds, don't talk to me about meds...

No, I won't throw you a sob story ;) I've been on meds too.

I'm pretty leary of them now though, but, not of the folks that need/want/take them. I didn't mean to give that impression, and apologize for it if it seemed that I did. Those aren't negative feelings I want to give anyone.

I do suspect our feckless leaders of being on rather high doses of something. Not that it seems to help them be more human. Paradoxically :)

Well wishes :)

4. s'ok

and i understand-

Just glad to know you aren't gonna nail me like Tom Cruise would- would love to live without 'em. But haven't been able to without winding up back in deep doo doo.- and courting death, with a passion that is nearly unstoppable. Not sure sometimes what's best.
Especially these days.

Good wishes back to you too.-

5. Tom Cruise used to be cute...

before he opened his mouth, didn't he? ;) But I thought Brook handled him pretty well. The older she gets, the more I like that girl.
