I get very upset and frustratedwhen I hear people act on dogmatic politics and principles (left or right) and downright plain platitudes, etc. Sometimes they just repeat whatever soundbites generated in the mass media are repeated enough times till they are numb in the brain.

In reference to Shrub and Big Shrub (in reference to Sen. Kerry's big bad hair), a friend just said to me tonight...

"They're just doing what the party's are telling them, which is lie as much as you can, tell the people what they think they want to hear and big business can keep on gouging!"

There is intelligence left, by golly! Hallelujah!
