I will look forward to watching the coverage. Do you plan to take out just the censorious bitch Lynne Cheney, or also her censorious husband and VP candidate? And then there's Al Gore (RAT) and his running mate (JEW RAT). (Subliminal messages brought to you by the Republican Party). Interesting that 3 out of the 4 top rats--Cheney, Gore, Lieberman--have their own censorious attacks on speech, or have spouses who lead such attacks. Lynne, Tipper, and Lieberman himself. I wonder why Bush is being left out? Maybe it'll be like Nixon in China: the only one of the four not calling for repeal of the First Amendment will be the one who pulls the trigger. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Yep - all those commercials for "Be All You Can Be, Join The Army" and "Join The Navy, See The World, Meet Interesting People and Kill Them", and "Army Reserve - Spend Saturdays Keeping In Practice as a Trained Killer" and all the war movies the Pentagon helps get made, and "COPS" tv shows, and "The Drug War - Fix Moral and Health Problems By Declaring War" and its related "Job Training and Practical Entrepreneurism For Inner-City Youth" program, both of which teach kids that violence is a good way to relate to your neighbor - in some cities, the training extends to franchising opportunities, starting your own "Young Crips" neighborhood chapter. There's also the "Starve Young Children By Economic Blockade" programs for ridding the world of Hitler-of-the-year candidates that's worked so well, and the "Be Afraid - Make More Anthrax Vaccine Before Terrorists Use It" gigs. The government really *should* stop marketing those violent programs. Themselves. Before they mess with the (really large) motes in the movie businesses' eyes. Thanks!
