I have been uber busy of late and neglecting the old blog.

But with all the activity over at the White House I can�t keep quiet.

For all the details check out this blog: Perturbed - Tuesday, November 15, 2005

First of all I have to say that American democracy _might_ be a complete sham. I am just thinking out loud here.

In the United States, one party gets elected to office based on promises made that their constituents believe in but when the chips are down (or even not) the elected people do whatever they want to and blatantly lie about it (or even not). Is this any better than some corrupt African puppet government? It is pretty much the same except that corporate America is in bed with the Government and just enough of the money trickles down to keep the masses who are working hard to get more money and not questioning why they have to work such long hours at Wal-Mart for their whopping $5 an hour which will give back to corporate America when they go buy their Whopper.

As an example of their blatant lies, they have recently lied about the secret meetings between the �Energy Task Force� and oil company executives, lied about using white phosphorus in the war in Iraq, and vehemently denied the use of torture while lobbying to have it legalized. It does of course go on and on. Not to mention the fact that they deceived the entire country just to spend billions on a war for oil by claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction - and now they have the gaul to joke about there not being any! I am sure the families of all those who were killed (on both sides) for a war fought to make George, his dad, Dick etc more money are laughing really hard �

Way to spread freedom and democracy George and then tell people who question you that they are not patriotic - I thought in a free democracy those in power are supposed to listen to the people, not belittle them??? If only someone would come to the aid of the American people who are suffering at the mercy of a corrupt government and a society held in the stranglehold of rampant �everyone for themselves� capitalism.

Of course it�s not much better north of the border.

In other news, enlightened people are still trying to fight the power.
