I just cannot believe this bullshit. BBV fraud aside, how can Americans be so dumb? Not only another 4 years of Bush, but a greater Republican majority in the house and senate! How can people see 4 years of Bush, and ask for more?? I just don't get it. Sigh.

1. How about an "I don't live in a retarded state" avatar?
We won accross the bpard in my state. But somehow, we all have to pay the price because of the failure of other states to deliver us from evil.

Think about it: all religions actually asks you to suspend reality in oder to subscribe to its teachings.

5. Great idea! But take the idea to the next level beyond anger. Justice, too

We now have half the country realizing they keep being robbed by the same bullshit.

The omnipresent peace sign of the 60s gave way to the lobotomized 'smiley' face and it had real consequences.

The emotions invoked were changed from 'fuck this murderous shit' to 'don't worry-be happy and buy toys.'

A new symbol of the revolution that doesn't just resonate with the choir but strikes a note of STEADFAST DISCIPLINED PROGRESS which is the psychological meme the Repubs have marketed quite successfully.

I think this could be really powerful the way the cross is for Christians.

We need the secular equivalent to be everywhere and buck up people like us and bring in those 'others' who have been deceived by symbolism into applauding atrocity.

I want to see this on every public space I go to for the next four years AND ever after because the principles of justice need to be sustained BETTER than the systems of repression.

Visual cues are most importent to our species because we've identified 'friend or foe' by eyesight for millions of years.

It is a tool of propaganda that works and should be used for GOOD instead of EVIL.
