It's the only reality that counts on the ground, chuck ... just as you identify with your tribe, and i with mine, so do the people your neocons are attempting to subjugate identify with their fellows .... it must be an integral part of your 'perspective' that the young men sweating in body armour and barking your neocons' orders at people in a language they don't understand are foreign to these people, absolutely not of their tribe ..... they stink, they literally stink, whether because they eat strange food or because they have different sanitary customs, who knows who cares, they simply smell bad, and their stink becomes symbol of their evil, part of their evil You're a smart guy chuck, you always saw through Rand Janitorial ... can you see through your neocons though? ... how do you think their plan to rule the planet from the backrooms of Washington is going to work, as long as they are generating this 'us or them' frame of mind in people who would otherwise be going about their own business? I'm one of these people, and there are many like me - if/when your backroom boyz send young men here to point weapons and bark orders and subjugate us, i and many others will do all we are able to kill them .... why, because we are human beings, that's why, it is against our nature to submit to foreign rule And don't bother trying this Newspeak 'liberation' and 'collective guilt' line on us, we know better .... we know that nobody on whom we see you using your weapons ever did anything to you, or to any member of your tribe ... dinnae boolsheet us, laddie, get real, or we invite you to get dead, as long as you drag us into your two little 'us or them' cages Funny thing this morning - there was a piece on the radio here, on how your Bush is formed by the 'Texan' myths, the fabled story of the Alamo et al ..... several 'Texans' interviewed [and no tejanos, by the way], all of whom know Bush personally, one says he knew him 'since he was knee-high to a duck' ..... so this one particularly ground on about the story of the line Travis is supposed to have drawn at the Alamo, the 'yer with us or agin us' line du jour ... rest of it was about the same, all the black/white my way or the highway motivations And not one person in that half-hour made one single reference to what was actually behind the taking of Tejas from the mexicanos who had written into their constitution a prohibition of slavery ...... not one pointed out that it was a land grab by slavers who had captive negros they wanted to keep working as draught animals in their cotton fields Not one, that's the reality .... sad for sure, yes, but reality nonetheless
