"Condi is going...". Relax, folks. Help is on the way. Maybe she'll finally find that mushroom cloud too.
Americans have an unhealthy relationship to their bodies, which causes a sickening relationship to their children's bodies.
Several years ago, I was at the beach with some friends who have a daughter who, at the time was two - years - old. They let her run around naked until some pervert (there is no other way for it) told them that they could be fined for exposing their child's body. I intervened and told the guy in so many words that if he saw anything sexual about a two - year - old body, HE had a sick mind, ought to be reported to the police as a pedophile, and be locked away for life. he fled.
In Europe, women subathe topless and no one gets excited over it (except for American males). The human body has been celebrated in history by the Greeks and the Romans, to cite but a few, for its esthetic, not for its sexual value.
It is only Americans who are so repressed by Puritan ethics who see nude bodies as the very incanation of sex, debauchery, and worse.
Americans are the sick ones, always looking for dirt and sleaze where there is none. Anyone who sees a child's nudity as sexually provocative is dangerously unbalanced and should be separated from society, forever.
Heavens! Snow is a Fox News idiot. As for our imbecile of a President, always expect him to veto legislation that is grounded in scientific research. This Administration is psychotic about science. They cannot understand it because they are fundamentally stupid, therefore they must slander it.
This country was once the leader in medical (and other) research. Not any more. We are now living in the Bush country of ignorance, stupidity, and corruption.
Scientifically, the U.S. has now regressed to the Middle Ages. (Just watch the "debate" over evolution).
This illiterate, stupid, Administration, needs to be kept in check over the next two -- miserable -- years that we have to deal with the Idiot - in - Chief. Otherwise, we'll be back to the "Flat Earth Society'.
Vote for the Democrats! You'll be voting for people who have more than half of a brain in this country.
In Bush's insane world, the path to peace is littered with civilian casualties. Just check out the death toll in Iraq: more than 14,000 civilians massacred in the first six months of the year...
I suppose that the butchers in the White House and at the DOD will only be content when Lebanon is turned into a mass of rubble, half the civilian population has been killed, and the other half has gone into exile.
Will somebody stop these people from destroying everything they touch and from bringing hell on earth?
I guess 50% of Americans are intellectual zeros. And yes, I am throwing my hands up.
This is a population which is incapable of reasoning and that is incapable of exerting any intellectual effort to get any information other than the screaming headlines of Fox News.
It is time to emigrate. The U.S.A. is finished as a country. Bin Laden and the GOP have won. RIP.
