Need a truck? Got any wood? Cynically speaking, I expect we will need a lot more of these in the next four years, since it's certain a whole lot of metaphorical bovine byproduct will be coming our way Thanks, by the way, to everyone for voting
DATELINE: ENGSOC- New England Sector | 02-11-04 | I know it ain't over yet | There's likely to be lawsuits about voter harssment, illegal denial of voting, voter fraud more questions raised about Diebold [and other] electronic voting machines, both because of "glitches" and due to the lack of enough voting machines to serve the demand | These shall likely wrangle their way through the courts interminably, whether or not Kerry concedes to Bush |
We still have unanswered questions, allegations and charges from the ENRON-Bechtel-Halliburton-Nortel-Quest-Global Crossing-Carlyle Group [and who knows how many others] financial scams and [possibly] outright thefts of American resources to sort out | Litigation and independent investigations [some of them acknowledgedly conspiracy theory laden] are already going on with these |
There's still John Ashcroft at Justice [can we start calling it Ministry of Truth now, rather than have to wait?] | And Colin Powell's son, Michael, at the FCC who is trying to both give away access to free speech [unless you happen to own a corporate media giant] and restrict the internet | There's the forced drugging fanatic tag-team of E Fuller Torrey + Sally Satel driven so-called "mental health" screening for all USA citizens thing to deal with [in the Soviet Union they called dissent "creeping schizophrenia", going by yesterday's tabulated votes, that includes maybe 46 to 48% of all the voting population]
And of course, more mundane things; livable wages, health care, the plan to eviscerate Social Security | Gosh, I could go on | In short, it may not be a pretty four more years, but it sure won't be boring | Maybe hand me the Xanax now and get it over with |
But wait! ...there will be more | For there will, indeed come a day [no tellin the exact day or year] when those ardent supporters will grasp that they'd been hoodwinked, cheated, lied to, stolen from and betrayed | And they will want something done about it | History has shown that when mass epiphanies such as this occur, the outcome isn't pretty |
Stay tuned |
