2. Yes America died today. |
|
It was on life support and the plug was pulled by Congress.
America, such a wonderful concept. Gone now. I will miss it sorely.

Are there Americans out there who actually approve of this bullshit? I'm lucky enough to have avoided such riff-raff.

My mother watches that movie every single day. I never liked that line myself. I always thought Lucas's dialogue was terrible. Especially between Palpatine and Mace Windu. Two phenomonal actors on screen together with no real dialogue between them. I don't watch television so I haven't heard the TV morons applauding. That's distressing to hear.

12. Didn't like I and II, I did like parts of III... |
|
Of course the original IV, V, and VI were much much better than the first 3.

9. People really flamed Lucas |
|
big time after that movie came out. But he wrote the plot of that movie over thirty years ago. It was based on a combination of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. The movie is not about Bush. Bush just follows all the patterns of a despicable dictator.

14. It's called 1984 by George Orwell. |
|
If you want a complete account of everything that is wrong with governments you need only read that book. It has it all.

16. Also, you should check out WE by Yevgeny Zamyatin |
|
Predates 1984 by a few years, but in its own way, it's just as chilling. A true totalitarian dystopia classic.

Just like the Germans who tacitly approved of slaughtering Jews--by doing nothing. It's likely you've not avoided them--you just haven't confronted them.
To those "Americans" who refused to get involved, who were content to say, "There's nothing I can do," and whose children (who really could do nothing) will suffer the most, I say, "The blood that will flow is on YOUR hands."
America is gone. Rest in peace.
Until, of course, we get the FUCKING legislation repealed with a specific provision that there will never be a statute of limitations on punishment for war crimes.
Get out the vote.

From Revenge of the Sith. First time I heard it I got goosebumps. Too many times seeing the nut cases applauding the fuhrer.
