AQ cells must be confronted wherever they exist before this org grows completely out of our control.

Where's the political will going to come from for that, I wonder. It's all image. The war on terror. The war on drugs. The war on poverty. It's all image, all about getting re-elected, all about I've got mine. As long as every one feels good. That's why I take my shoes off at the airport. Makes me feel safe.

There's another commercial on (you'd think I watch a lot of TV, but I don't), the one where some people are stuck in an aerial tram and the one guy pops up with "Don't worry I've done a course. Positive thinking leads to positive results". He then takes credit for the tram moving with some little remark I don't recall. That's the politicians. And a young woman bobs here head up and down enthusiastically with an adoring look on her face once the tram starts moving. That's us. Don't know who corresponds in real life to the guy whole actually hits the emergency start. Probably some poor schmo tied up in court by the ACLU.

I'd vote for Mr. Bowers, from what I've seen. Even JDN if he'd just stop shouting so much. Anyone interested in tilting at windmills?
