My main true confession is though I beleieve the "airliner of state" of the United States (and quite possibly by extension, the Free World) is highjacked, (and pardon the Sept 11 analogy, though it may seem quite apt), I wondered if I should also "sit back and enjoy the ride" as it were, and focus more on things that are within my control, as I wondered as to what if anything a Canadian could do to "pin the bastards down in the aisle, throw a coat or blanket over them and keep them pinned down," in a symbolic sense as advocated by certain airline captains who had piloted the first post Sept 11 2001 flights, for Canadians and internationals couldn't even vote in American Presidential elections.
On edit, I found had I known in '98 what I known now, that the whole "impeachment charade" was a different attempt to in a sense highjack the American Presidency, and not bought into the "Clinton is a sex rogue" stuff, I would have to say all right, I admit it, I probably at the time would have sent then President Clinton a note saying I was also "behind him all the way," and for him to not let the "evil cowards" get him down.

4. Don't worry for I was just using that as a POLITICAL analogy of sorts |
|
for if I was in an actual airline highjack situation I probably no doubt will fight back in that case, especially if there were a LOT of others to back me up.
Don't mind me for I was sort of vaguely frustrated since Friday, that Canadians and "internationallers," probably couldn't do that much, and suspected on Saturday that if we could vote in the American Presidential elections, John Kerry would have been put over the top as it were.

6. Too bad the so called Free World couldn't vote on this technicality |
|
in terms of how the American President, is in a sense, it's "Leader."
Maybe we could say, ergo, "DON'T BLAME US, FOR WE DIDN'T ELECT BUSH AS OUR LEADER, EITHER."
