You can fool some people all the time and all people some of the time.
But you can't fool all the people all the time.Abe Lincoln's words were never truer than today as we prepare to vote.The lies of Bush have finally caught up with him.An enraged and energized population is going to vote him and all the rascals that enabled him out.

1. I think Abraham Lincoln said that . . .
Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 07:14 AM by ET Awful
"I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours." I said that.

- Bob Dylan

:)

Sorry, not making fun of your post, just everytime I hear that Lincoln quote, Dylan pops into my mind :)

3. An even greater man, P.T.Barnum, said "There is a sucker born every
minute" so Abe Lincoln, while true, was no match for these worldly guys.

4. And Barnaby said:
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool Mom!"

PS Barnaby hosted a kids afternoon cartoon show on local TV way back in the day.

5. If it really is
"One Nation Under God" then is it the Bush-Cheney position that the government is not serving at the will of the governed?

7. Collective Madness
I have been struggling the past couple weeks with feelings of anger towards the people who are stupid enough to support Bush and potentially make the rest of pay dearly for their stupidity. At times I have come close to hating them, but I sensed that I would be compromising myself somehow if I allowed myself to succomb to hatred. I have finally found insight that has allowed me to understand, process and come to terms with the collective madness of Bush and his followers. I realize now that hatred will make me a part of the same disease, in a way. The articles that helped me were written by somebody called Paul Levy. They are excellent, and I can't recommend them enough, if you are confused and struggling for understanding and inner peace as you - at the same time - attempt to stand up to the madness.

The first article I read can be found here:

The Maness of George W. Bush
http://www.alternativesmagazine.com/31/levy.html

After reading this, if you are hungry for more from the same writer, his other writings can be found on his website here:
http://www.awakeninthedream.com/

May we together resist the disease both inside and outside of ourselves!
