I just got the transcript of Lawrence Wilkerson's talk this week. You don't have to think anymore about things getting worse before they get better. They are going to get much worse until the lightbulb goes off for the masses and change is demanded. I thought Katrina would do it. It has to a very small extent. I think that's the most frightening aspect right now. How big a disaster do we need to have before people wake up to our current state of affairs?

>I enjoyed the Michael Moore movie 911 for the research and content, and not because of any feelings against the President. The movie is a frightening example of reality that is not acknowledged. Like Nancy Pelosi said, “The Emperor wears no clothes”!
>
>The republicans I have talked to person to person about the movie 911, all say it is untrue (mild understatement), and not one of them has seen the movie!
>
>Clinton is condemned for what he did outside of his marriage but Bush is applauded for his accomplishments. How many people died because of Clinton? How many because of Bush? I think things will get much worse before improving.

>>Did you watch the video or see the transcript from the speech the other day from the guy who reported to Powell? How many reports do we need to hear for people who were close enough to see how the current administration operates behind closed doors? How many before the light clicks on in many a head what is occuring in our government?
>>
>>I remember when everyone started slamming Michael Moore's 9-11 movie. It was readily apparent that not one comment I heard from those deriding the movie actually made a comment about the content in the movie. We now see the affects of appointing a president whose only success in the business world was his success in consistently running companies he ran into the ground.
>>
>>How many companies have you worked for where a high position is suddenly filled by a new hire in the company? And the new hire's only qualification is their association with the owner. I've worked in a couple, and the company typically doesnt' last too long.
>>
>>Bush is running the gov't the same way he runs companies. Only now instead of loosing any investment money in the company, he is costing thousands and thousands of lives. So many are will to support him for any reason because he claims he's born again. And willing to overlook any shortcoming, no matter how costly or deadly.
>>
>>>>>>>Again, for now. The supreme court can overturn its own decisions, and if Bush gets the kind of supreme court he wants, it's not beyong the realm of possibility. It's no different than the very real fear some have over the court overturning its own ruling on Roe and Wade. It could happen.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Anything can happen with anyone in office.
>>>>>
>>>>>Not for another decade or two or three or four after Bush get's done with his appointments.

>>>>Fortunately, by the time Bush got a chance to nominate any Supreme Court justices his political stock was too low to ram through a fire-breathing conservative in the Scalia-Thomas mold. Roberts seems like a pretty reasonable guy, highly qualified, who doesn't the seem the type who wants to run around overturning precedents. And most of the resistance to Harriet Miers has come from the right. They thought they were "owed" a nominee who is on record as wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade. Anything that makes them unhappy makes me happy ;-)
