Agreed in re the R individual .... but on my main point you have come back with a question, no fair Thomas -g- .... it's easily answered however, by observing that in politics they all lie, to an extent, just some more than others, or in distinct manner, or whatever ....... which rather goes to my main point there - the fact that one party to a dispute is an evil lying duplicitous bastard, does not necessarily mean that his opponent personifies Truth and Beauty
I'll tell you what i had in mind, while responding to your post last night - a few days ago i chanced upon your rage thread, and saw this from John Soileau - #reply-18805069 .... i thought it a very appropriate question, so was interested in your response, which turned out to be, imho, inadequate - #reply-18808933
Rage against the Machine is good and healthy, it could improve the machine over time .... but i think there is more to the evil parts of the machine than you are admitting -
We never see any cubanos here at SI .... not one, not ever ... ex-cubanos, sure, quite a few, but none resident in that pearl of the Antilles .... ever ask yourself why not? .... probably not eh, because you know well why not, it's because their longwinded egotistical little stalinist dictator won't let his subjects on the net, won't let them even read it ... never mind SI, it's the whole free net he bars them from .... eleven millions souls, in a prison formed by this old fart's mind .... it's not right
Chávez? - he's a good buddy of Fidel's ... there's stuff going on down in V, among those círculos bolivarianos, and chavista legislators and admin, that have as their purpose the opposite of democracy, rather the consolidation of power under HC .... venezolanos can still post on the net, so far, and david does .... that's the Machine he rages against, each to his own eh
So Tom, can you type at me with a straight face that it is just and proper that Castro denies to cubanos the right to talk with us here? |
