Okay, okay, so it's not fascism, but I'm not looking forward to the future of this country. What's to be done?

George W. Bush, despite being one of the worst US presidents (I rate Reagan higher on worst presidents list) deserves compassion like every other person. True, a lot of people don't show it, but they deserve it. I'm not saying he's compassionate. I'm just saying, love thy fellow man. no offense gail, but that's the difference between you and me; I hate people, but I want everyone to have a chance. you just don't like'em.

The first part america will fall because of its increased defense spending and concentration on terror is right. beyond that, I'm not so sure I would describe it that way.

you don't sound like a jackass. you just sound like an embittered idealist. let go of the bitterness and embrace that idealism. and, for the record, depending on who you ask, Washington HAS gone crazy since September 11th. It just gets worse, and the current crisis in the Middle East highlights this. we can talk more about this later though, if you'd like.
