Nevertheless, their attempts to change the laws should have been entirely legal. I might not always say that when I'm angry, but it's what's right, so that nobody can say that their campain has a stain.

Are we upset that France and Russia were bought by Iraq, or that the US was outbid? Maybe if we hadn't thrown so much money at Turkey we could have made a better offer for those other countries.

Be fair, he's doing his very best, he got arrested with much noteriety didn't he?

To wax philosopical a moment...what if someone tried civil disobedience, and the powers in charge didn't fall for it? Just let it happen. Wouldn't that be cool? When I take my rightful place as supreme ruler of the world, I'll hire some good stand-up commedians to write me some very funny, snappy come-backs to any people trying to get themselves arrested just to make a point.

To take it to an absurd level. If Satan was a real badass, wouldn't he have instead gotten Jesus Christ a real good Roman defence lawyer? Picture it:

"Do what must be done, as was ordained from the begining of time"
"Aww, that's alright. Just go on home"
"Huh-wha..."
"C'mon. Scoot on home"
"But I will destroy the temple, and ..."
"Yes. Yes. You will, I'm sure."
"But wait, the world won't be saved unless I die ..."
"Yes, that's tough luck for everybody, isn't it"

P.S. Please don't start a flamewar 'cause I got all religious on everybody. I'm just kidding. I'm not ultra fundie-Christian, or anti-Christian. I just think about stuff like this all the time.

Actually there are something like 7 candidates. CNN showed the other 5 guys. Some people can name 3 candidates but most only know the 2 big ones. They can be candidates but not have enough signatures to be "on the ballot". One party has a vice-pres candidate with no pres which is a choice option many dont consider. I would love to see that someday. YEAH Kerry and Chenney!
