He has expressed the desire to be seen as POW and then executed as a martyr. So the fearmongers would rather do that rather than give up thier tool of instilling fear in others. Who is the real terrorist here again? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsr#63281 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:21:01 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsrs#63281 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsrs#63281 I think that's why the Obama administration isn't letting everyone at Guantanamo have criminal trials. It preserves the idea that some people don't deserve due process while also getting to hold onto the myth that we are a just society. And there was just a really great article in Salon about a form http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsr#63259 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:05:01 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsrs#63259 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/883521841844967332/?src=hsrs#63259 You are SO right. There's also another angle that occurred to me: Legitimacy. A la Nuremburg. Do a military tribunal in secret, or just execute him without any proceeding, and you've just given a boatload of ammo to terrorists. "See, those Americans preach one thing, but they're murderous thugs." Do a public criminal trial, however imperfect the American justice can be, and you show the w http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsr#63253 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:21:23 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsrs#63253 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsrs#63253 nerdy boy loves popular girl, but should love his tomboyish best friend http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsr#63236 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:50:21 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsrs#63236 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsrs#63236 I'm starting with potty parity. Plenty of accessible public bathrooms for everyone, especially women and disabled people and homeless people, who usually have to fight harder to find an open loo. Okay, so it's a bit goofy on the surface. But I think of it in the same spirit of "if they have you too busy worrying about the size of your ass, http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsr#63235 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:37:37 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsrs#63235 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4528005727199993759/?src=hsrs#63235 The only trick is getting everyone to think that way. It is nearly the same problem as Marxist ideals; impossible to achieve. There's going to be a lot of people who are going to think that their neighbour is less deserving, that someone who is a different colour is not quite equal. It's part of human nature itself; survival through the eons of evolution have us hardwired towards being selfis... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/2747310652921907783/?src=hsr#63222 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:50:17 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/2747310652921907783/?src=hsrs#63222 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/2747310652921907783/?src=hsrs#63222 Kind of like a cattle yard. Oh, I needed that.

Gated communities... yes, lovely places, nice, high fences and only a few exits. Kind of like a cattle yard. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsr#63217 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:38:45 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsrs#63217 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/4249255294042942492/?src=hsrs#63217 Teen movies. All of them. Especially if their goal is for the main character to get laid. Most any flick with a sex scene irritates the piss out of me, though. If I wanted to watch two idiots writhing against eachother, I'd watch porn - I watch other movies for the story. That said, RocknRolla avoids being hated because it has the best Sex Scene ever placed in a movie. http://www.youtube.... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/1240514027054725879/?src=hsr#63209 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:16:29 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/1240514027054725879/?src=hsrs#63209 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/redqueen319/1240514027054725879/?src=hsrs#63209 (Perhaps the Stupak thing is a good thing in that case, if it means pro-choice dems have an excuse not to participate in the sham that is the Affordable Health Care Act or whatever Orwellian name they are calling it by) You may be onto something. I know there's been speculation it's a poison pill from Repubs to kill it, but perhaps it's just as helpful to whatever true Dems are left so t
