Politics

[gothwalk]

There are a few political things I sort-of want to post about. But mainly what it comes down to is pointing at Bush, and asking, "Will someone explain to that idiot, again, about the separation of church and state?" When there's an international conference, and the US position is agreed on by one single other representative, and that's the Vatican, is this not a clear signal that there is something seriously wrong? While I disagree with many things that Bush is pushing (or that other elements of his administration are pushing), it's his extension into international politics of his own personal insistence on abstinence over contraception that I find to be most reprehensible.

insistence on abstinence over contraception

Suppressing sexuality is a classically effective means of oppression (See Hitler, Stalin, Orwell's 1984. Even better when you get populations to do it for you.

I am so sorry about him--he's one of ours and it's bad enough he's mucking things up around here with half the population's approval, but it's worse when he's out there trying to influence other nations and cultures. I mean, non-Americans did not have any say in his selection and then his election and he's out there trying to tell you what to do.

On the other hand, you peoples need to get your acts together and defend yourselves, say, by forming an anti-US block, and collectively boycott/embargo US goods and services to, uh, "send a message". The economic cost will impact the majority of the American public and provided the Democrats don't fuck up (again), the next election will be quite interesting.

I'm just sayin'.
