I've wondered about Rodin's famous sculpture. Is he engaged in deep thought or sitting around wasting time? And why isn't he wearing pants? I ask the same of myself. Here we comment on well, mostly politics. Or we may just sit! If you like it, tell a friend. If not, tell us, but please read the GROUND RULES before you do.

The meaning of being a democracy is what, exactly?
"We support democracy, but that doesn't mean we have to support governments that get elected as a result of democracy," President Chimpy said.
Yeah, although I would have phrased it, "The democratically elected president of a country was assasinated by the CIA and replaced with a military fascist". You're much to tactful.
It will be interesting to see if Karzai and the future leader of Iraq show that history might actually repeat itself. That is, if we fail to learn from it.
wow. Stageringly wow.

"It's your election, but if you chose poorly we'll take that government down and try again until you get it our way."
Exactly. Of course, no one ever told him that he couldn't have what he wanted, all the time, so he thinks he owns the world.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember Chile?
ReplyDeleteChile--oh right, the lawful winner of an election was overthrown by a militarist fascist. Thank God that could never happen here.....
