[kj] Death to S. Palin the Retard Running for the Shitehouse

[Brendan]

I agree in general to that, but if only to play Devil's
Advocate...politicians ultimately end up with *some* people's lives in
their hands, directly through sending people to war (in which civilian
deaths outnumber generally military...), and indirectly through
health-care policies etc. One could make an argument that killing certain
politicians may have a net positive effect on the world in that other,
more innocent people, don't share the same fate.

Jaz for example seems to be at least portraying the idea of an exhortation
to violent revolution, as opposed to trying to calm things down. I'm not
really sure where I stand to be honest, part of me thinks that this
financial upheaval and what I anticipate as subsequent social unrest might
result in, or be able to be levereged to, create positive  change in the
social order.

Then again, seems we can't even resist the urge to compulsively accumulate
and over-spend, drag ourselves away from polluting decadent lifestyles,
passively take part in artificial corporate hierarchical crazy
institutions...let alone press for political / economic change. (We being
other people of course ;)

Anyway, just playing Devil's Advocate...(have to hit the bastard up for
playing his advocate all the time, must owe me a fortune by now...)
