But who gives a darn which mob boss is in charge of the pimps and
thieves in the federal government, or even which mob is temporarily
king of the hill? One batch of *******s steals for one set of special
interests, and the other batch of *******s steals for another.
Larry? Is that you?

Certainly isn't worth getting all excited about, and definitely not
worthy of a fight between friends.
Friends? Didn't you just lecture me on the fact that you aren't
anybody's "friend" on Usenet - only an aquantaince and a dubious one
at that?

Sorry that you perceived the expression of my opinion as a "lecture."
There is no fighting among friends in a forum like this, just
fighting.
Fighting among friends would occur in other venues where people are
actually acquainted with one another, and occurs frequently during
political campaigns.

In any event, there is nothing to be gained by arguing politics. One
side or the other will "win". Big deal. How does that old lyric go?
"Meet the new boss- same as the old boss"?

Most of what the right wing has to say about the Democratic Party has
some foundation in fact. Unfortunately, most of what the left wing has
to way about the Republican Party is also well founded. Choosing a
party and candidate to run the country is like deciding whether you'd
rather be executed in the electric chair or by hanging.


*Both* parties would do well to consider what a very wise man once
said:

"For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which
you measure will be measured out to you.

Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not
perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from
your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?

You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you
will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye."








Gosh...to think I started this by merely commenting on the performance
of the participants, and not the content of their messages. Wow.
