also, liberati 1) Any person politically to the left of either David Blunkett or GW Bush. 2) One who considers that a dictatorship or police state may not be entirely benevolent. 3) One who prefers to confirm that crime suspects are genuinely guilty before locking them up for life. Conservative 1) A high-minded guardian of moral values picked up from a rough translation of some really old book somewhere. 2) One who believes that "human rights" are some form of "progress" and therefore a Bad Thing. 3) One who believe that is vital that punishment must rapidly follow any crime, and that any correlation between the person comitting the crime and that being punished is a vulgar liberal luxury. I notice that someone else has already grabbed liberati.org, but does anyone want to design a suitably sinister logo for the Liberati that we can put on badges? ;) | ||

... the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist. "Verbal", The Usual Suspects How the hell did they do it? How did the media, or government, or whoever, lead US-Americans to be more worried about a bit of torn lace(*), and the UK public more worried about some bunch of has-beens eating bugs for attention, than about war, corruption, racism, environmental degradation, (and so on)? http://www.yellowtimes.org/article.p Bread and circuses? Once the masses have cable, you only need one circus. (*) And if US-americans are so offended by a tit, why did MTV put Timberlake on anyway? | ||
