3. I like your signature... I find

I've been listening to that song a lot lately...

4. Unfortunately it comes from a time a lot like this one. A time we were

so arrogant and naive we thought we'd never see it again. Well, not only is it back, it's worse.

The song and the line is timeless apparently.

9. teenage wasteland

Yes, the teenage wasteland is back in Iraq, and it is worse under Bush because we know better now -- but that doesn't matter to these neocons. The war on terror is just a cover to get Americans off the trail of their real goals -- global resources for free (except for the lives and US taxpayer money for military resources...). At least some of us have noticed.

11. Welcome to DU Goodbody...

If you get a chance, Google "Smedley Butler" nad check out his speech to Congress on why he left as first Commandant of the Marine Corps.

Butler was one of America's true heroes, but few have ever heard of him. He was Awarded two Medals of Honor, retired as a Major General, and refused to take Marines on further excursions to benefit the elitist corporate interests in the United States. He was quite the character. His dignity and honor required him to follow the orders of the president and his superiors, (The Dept of the Navy at the time), so he retired, to take up the fight so that Marines, sailors and soldiers would not be killed to fatten the pockets of the corporate elite. He was a man well ahead of his time. If I am not mistaken, he passed away in 1917. Many years before Eisenhower warned the nation about the "Military-Industrial Complex" Butler read the handwriting on the wall. Just as Lincoln had a generation before, and Jackson a generation before that. None are so deaf as those who refuse to hear; and none are so blind, as those who refuse to see.

Once again...Welcome to DU...:hi:

12. Read his book "War Is A Racket" - It's online.

[goodbody]

13. thank you

Thanks to both of you for the info on great reads, and thanks for the welcome.

I remember Reagan had his Star Wars contracts he was handing out to his pals, but at least people weren't dying like they are now in Iraq. I honestly don't see how any parent of draft-age teenagers could have voted for Bush -- these kids are dying for corporations.

Michel Pillet died in 2002, but his name lives on at the University of New Mexico. He created the school's graduate architecture program and directed it for years.
Pillet's name lives on in another way too. He's still listed as a registered voter in New Mexico, even though election officials are required to purge the names of deceased voters.
A Tribune analysis of voter records suggests that more than 5,000 dead people remained on the rolls on Election Day in New Mexico. The presidential election there was decided by 6,000 votes.

Well, how 'bout skipping the feature-like intro and getting to some of the meat --

Dead voters on rolls, other glitches found in 6 key states

A Tribune analysis of voter records suggests that more than 5,000 dead people remained on the rolls on Election Day in New Mexico. The presidential election there was decided by 6,000 votes. And New Mexico is not alone. The Tribune's review of voter data there and in five other key states--Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota--found widespread flaws in the integrity of voter rolls.

More than 181,000 dead people were listed on the rolls in the six swing states, despite efforts to clean up the country's voting system after the 2000 election. Thousands more voters were registered to vote in two places, which could have allowed them to cast more than one ballot.

Further, more than 90,000 voters in Ohio cast ballots without a valid presidential choice. Either they decided not to choose a candidate, the machine failed to register their choice, or they mistakenly voted for more than one candidate.

And the FBI is investigating allegations that Republicans in Florida mounted a large-scale campaign to tamper with ballots.
