Wow. We start right off with Godwin's law.

It was actually a comment on militaristic right-wingers in general, not an
attempt to invoke Der Godwinator...

What is "liberal" about Kerry
supporters that trash storefronts and beat Bush supporters up? How is their
behavior any different from that of thugs in 1935?

(cough) Speaking of Godwin...

Maybe I am jaded, but as far as I can see the only thing people are
interested in these days is in exercising dominion over others. They want
power, and are willing to go to any lengths and use any means to get it.
Ethics, justice, right and left: they are just hollow words signifying
nothing. I truly long for leaders who are genuinely just men, who are honest
and moral, who will not steal or lie. I would vote for such a person no
matter where on the spectrum of "left" or "right" he fell.

I'm not sure they exist, esp. in high level politics... power really does
corrupt, and all that.

Brian.
