heh, heh, heh, neocomms self porked over signage
[link|http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=6659|http://www.humaneven...ticle.php?id=6659] We previously reported the conservative group, Citizens United, planned to erect two pro-Bush billboards in Hollywood "thanking" Hollywood for Bush's reelection. stupid fuckers were asking for it. Snotty large public accessable signs get fucked over, regardless of message. regards, daemon "I am not scared of al Qaeda, I am scared of fucking al Cracker sayeth Chris Rock

No biggie, they anticipated this
They have a support contract saying that it would be fixed. And it was, within hours.
I'd hope that someone will try to make the support contract more expensive than anticipated though...

Take your pleasures where you may?
Some people chortle over freedom loving Shia Arabs getting murdered by dead end Baathists, others get their glee from incidents of petty vandalism. Each to his own.
Me, I get my jollies from seeing genocidal dictators overthrown and democracies established. Empowerment of the common folk makes me hot. I like the way it makes the hypocrites squirm. I'm kinky that way.

You're 2-for-2 in the oxymoron dept.
"freedon-loving Shia Arabs"?!? Who you crappin'?
It is to laugh. I assume these are the same "freedom-loving Shia Arabs" who incarcerated what was it 70 Americans for 444 days...another one of your incessant rants, IIRC.

Ah, you mean
Unity and self-sacrifice, of themselves, even when fostered by the most noble means, produce a facility for hating. Even when men league themselves mightily together to promote tolerance and peace on earth, they are likely to be violently intolerant toward those not of a like mind.
The most effective way to silence our guilty conscience is to convince ourselves and others that those we have sinned against are indeed depraved creatures, deserving every punishment, even extermination.
Though they seem at opposite poles, fanatics of all kinds are actually crowded together at one end. It is the fanatic and the moderate who are poles apart and never meet. The fanatics of various hues eye each other with suspicion and are ready to fly at each other's throat. But they are neighbors and almost of one family. They hate each other with the hatred of brothers.
The fanatic cannot be weaned away from his cause by an appeal to his reason and his moral sense. He fears compromise and cannot be persuaded to qualify the certitude and righteousness of his holy cause. But he finds no difficulty in swinging suddenly and wildly from one holy cause to another. He cannot be convinced but only converted. His passionate attachment is more vital than the quality of the cause to which he is attached.
