Will someone be kind enough to help me out of this deep depression
Please explain to me how we are NOT living in a dictatorship now. I really need something to hold onto in this sea of dispair.
Thank you

What I should have said was:

Take solace in the fact that you have reached a higher order of conciousness.

12. NOT 28 MONTHS!!!!!
It's only 28 months more of the corrupt Bush cabal/regime of thugs and toturers IF WE LET IT BE THAT LONG!!

WE NEED TO THROW THE THUGS OUT -- BODILY, if necessary.

THEN PUT THEM ON TRIAL.

THEN TORTURE THEM.

THEN SENTENCE THEM!!!

EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM -- OUT NOW!!!!!!

3. Not Quite A Dictatorship
But the beginnings of one.

Does that make you feel better? We're not QUITE there yet. Almost, but not quite.

They're working on it though. Check back in a couple of years, and it may be true then.

Don't you feel better now. We're ok. For the moment at least.

So go out and Spend some money to help this economy. Good times ahead. LOL

7. You might try mixing up some Kool-Aid and drinking it.
Seems to work for the other side. I hear the grape isn't that bad.

Seriously, I don't know what to say. We can only hope for a swift hearing before the SCOTUS and pray that they smack it down as unconstitutional, which is without doubt, is.

Hang in there, we still have a fight ahead of us. Not time to give in yet.

14. Well... we're not *quite* there... or this wouldn't be such a ruckus,
getting his kangaroo courts rubber-stamped by the useless eaters.

So... we're not quite there yet.

Hang in there... :pals:

Keep fighting!

18. How about the fact that you are permitted to express you dissent?
As long as DU and other forms of freee expression exist we are not yet a dictatorship.

19. Yes we have our work cut out for us, but...

Practically speaking, a life that is vowed to simplicity, appropriate boldness, good humor, gratitude, unstinting work and play, and lots of walking brings us close to the actual existing world and its wholeness.
-- Gary Snyder

...or from a Unicef poster I saw almost 3 decades ago and sticks with me still...

Ahh
that's why the birds can sing
on the darkest day
they believe in Spring!

20. We'll beat the bastards yet!
Hang in there, brother. It ain't over 'til it's over. This power crazed bunch is bucking for a backlash. In the meantime, I've never seen political humor comparable to what we have today. They're so terrible they're ridiculous.
