in a way a gun is more inhumane than a knife

The two greats, Molly Ivins and Amy Goodman -- inspirations, last hopes that the Media is able to convey real truth.

Seriously, why the hell are you 'for' the troops? That is the founding basis of the entire boondoggle called warfare. We must not tolerate war nor offer our support for the participants of such atrocities. If the soldiers never showed up, you can bet your life they would cease to happen.

@RantingAgain "We the People" are the government! Until you realize this you are doomed! Would you hire someone for a job that they Hate? Why would anyone vote for someone that Hates Government to a Government position? I pray you will wake up and smell the lies!

No question, Molly is right.....Only, I dont think the ppl. even believe that anymore. And for the few that do? They are terrified. THey just want to put food on the table and keep the lights on; in the apt. they had to move into b/c they lost their homes. Bush sent those kids to Iraq b/c he knew he had no jobs for them stateside. And whatever they can help him steal out of there-he MIGHT share w/some in jobs when its over..Yeah, Bush's boys OWN America. Save your souls-Our asses? They own too.

From this clip - Molly's explanation of FOX News's success:
"What Murdoch introduced in this country was the always effective British combination ... where you marry T&A - sex, ... a lot of bosomy bathing beauties - with patriotism, jingoism, flag waving. And it's a VERY effective combination. He's introduced it here beautifully and it's taken hold, particularly on television."
I miss Molly so much. She would have had a BLAST commenting on Sarah Palin, who epitomizes that winning sales combo.

Rupert Murdoch is nothing but a huge and rich piece of garbage forcing bouncing his way into destroying the decent and reliable info. There is a book about him/his life which I read 4 years ago and it's such a perfect description of his unortodox methods.Nothing deterrs him, he is like a "mob" carachter.

"If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, "Stop it, now!"" - Molly Ivins

"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge." (cont.)
