rhetoical philosophical question of whether you would have, had you the opportunity to terminate Hitler in 1938, would you have pulled the trigger.
Of course i'm talking about water pistols here, or spit balls... certainly nothing that could ever cause Hitler harm. I hear all heads of state are immortal and that bullets just bounce off them like popcorn.

You really might want to consider deleting that while you have the time and save yourself a possible world of trouble. The intent can be construed to be clear, even though you're being oblique about it.

now i leave the whole thing in "..." and let the reader wonder who "Hitler" is. Yet i don't think many folks actually seen much about hitler, besides war propaganda. He was a very successful civilian politician with a militarist bent, who took a democracy over the edge in to war-for-empire.
This would make a modern war for empire that kills 10,000 civilians in a needless bombing, this would make such a war criminal, and no matter what rationalization.... criminal.
To form prison camps against international law, and militarize the entire command chain of foreing relations, to subvert any independent agencies that could distrub the naked power grab strategy of preemptively defeating every single military on earth before they realize that we're already atacking them. The US military is a false GOD. The bible has instructions on such things. How fundamentalist christians have become themselves duped in to worshipping false gods makes me wonder.

3. I'd Invite Him to Stick Around and Learn Something |
|
As a teacher in a public high school, I'd issue a public invitation (no, a public challenge) to him to stick around for the day and to learn something about the public institution that he is trying to kill. His "reform" program is strangling public education, and it would be nice to help him to see that. Of course, given his own record of academic "success," I can't be sure that he would even understand what I was trying to teach him.

5. I'd love to fire comments |
|
At the chimp. I'd shout questions like, "Why did you keep reading about goats when we were clearly under attack?", or, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for killing over 500 soldiers to get the man who tried to kill your daddy?"
Maybe I'd yell, "Where's the weapons?"
Secret Service would be on me like bees on honey.
No, I don't think chimpy would want to come face to face with someone from DU. He'd be toast in 30 seconds, idiot that he is.

9. They'd declare my office a 'free speech' zone |
|
and make me stay in it during the event. They'd probably disable the 'all announce' feature on the phones so I couldn't actually say something the * might hear.
We might get a visit by either candidate being in a swing state and a place of good photo oppportunity. I hope Kerry stops by, if Bush comes I'll take sick leave.

10. My workplace, which is a small business... |
|
...has ten employees including the owner and all but one of us are democrats or independents. So, I would say that we would all be respectful, we would watch the one republican in our ranks kiss up to GW and listen to the chimps chatter. Besides GW would have no reason to show up at our workplace. We have had republican contribution collectors show though.:eyes: :crazy: :puke:

14. Working in a hospital |
|
I'd ask him how he dared show up there when so many Americans can't afford decent medical care, while he sold out to the drug companies and insurance companies, hasn't done anything about the nursing shortage and lies like a rug about all of it! Jackass!

16. I'd be locked in a small room with 2 SS Officers |

Or I'd be entertaining 2 Schutzstaffel at home, wouldn't be allowed to go to work. That'd be OK, I'd serve 'em coffee and make 'em pay me for it.

Edited on Sat Mar-13-04 09:15 AM by neebob
the majority of people at my work are proper Bush haters, to a degree that "How are we going to get rid of that little banty rooster (and worse, but that's the most recent example)?" is frequently heard in casual conversation. But if he did show up at my work and attempt to read a speech, it would be awesome.

24. I'd give him a speech |
|
I'd tell him he'd better shut up and listen to me read a document with which he is obviously unfamiliar. It is called the Constitution. (I could get away with this because I am the only person in the office-if he wanted to speak to the rest of the company, he'd have to crawl under a house and hope they wouldn't spray him with termacide!)

Everyone where I work, including the big boss, is vehemently anti-* We would close up shop and not let the CHIMP in and inform the SS that if they value his safety they'd better get him the hell out of our neighborhood fast.

27. Choice 2 for me, but if I was forced to attend, I'd make sure an obscene |

gesture of mine gets in the picture. For instance, if * wanted to shake hands with me, I'd use both my hands, but with one showing the middle finger (making sure it's in view of the camera)
