Next up, political manipulation!
- Keep the fanatics away from social policy: Quote:President Bush has announced his intention to appoint Dr. W. David Hager to head up the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee. This committee has not met for more than two years, during which time its charter lapsed. As a result, the Bush Administrationis tasked with filling all eleven positions with new members. This position does not require Congressional approval. The FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee makes crucial decisions on matters relating to drugs used in the practice of obstetrics, gynecology and related specialties, including hormone therapy, contraception, treatment for infertility, and medical alternatives to surgical procedures for sterilization and pregnancy termination. Still not disturbed? Check out "Doctor" Judith Reissman: http://www.alternet.org/election04/20744/ The danger that these two quacks pose to our society cannot be over-stated. KEEP THESE CRAZY FUCKERS AWAY FROM OUR GOVERNMENT!

Let's all stock up on morning-after pills before they get banned. They might start banning condoms too, so maybe we should...oh, who am I kidding?

Quote:refuses to prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women.now no offense but is he a sterotypical catholic? Quote:women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome should seek help from reading the bible and praying.now I'm not a doctor or a preacher but I think if they take a pill for it first then do that it might work Quote: strong religious beliefs may color his assessmentif you truly have control of what you say you don't go "duh" or "you think" right now or you make subtle insulting comments about it there's too many things I could say about that link so I won't say anything right now but while looking up words from that artical I saw the word of the day was sanctimonious meaning showing false or excessive piety. while I do slightly resent that joke wise I forgot what I was going to say so basically I spent awhile reading something and it took twice as long as normal because I kept have to make subtle sarcastic comments and now I need sleep

One of these days, someone is going to have to bitch-slap Dubya and get him to read "Tartuffe" (about a dimwitted rich man who falls under the spell of a religious fraud.)

Quote:Okay, I would like to preface my remarks by saying that some of this is just humor. However, ladies and gentlemen, our country is in trouble. On November 2, the fate of the world will rest on our shoulders, and even if Kerry wins, we're still fucked, since Bush loyalists will probably use their clout to stop any attempt to fix Bush's many cock-ups. We need some drastic action, so here are some suggestions: Wow, you seem to be one Theory of Labor away from Marxist. Your first point seems to be outright ignorant. The bourgeoise is an ever-changing class, and that 1% could be anyone. Not only that, but they DO serve a purpose in society. They are the businessmen which hold together a good portion of our economy. The small businesses are shrinking ever-rapidly. Also most of them DO pay income tax. They DO have a place in our country. As for your second part, while I agree that the RIAA is trying too hard to destroy file sharing, I am against it, as it is stealing. And the reason why music is so shitty is due to corporate ownership of radios, recording studioes, even TV stations that bastardize music (MTV and its counterparts). That's why I like more old rock, along with more underground rock, especially metal (like Machine Head).

I will say, though, that the bourgeoise are NOT the top 1% in this country. Your second point falls apart. You said it yourself, the reason why most pop music sucks is because is due to corporate ownership. Buying CDs feeds corporate ownership, and thus leads to the proliferation of crap. If the record companies would stop looking at file-sharing as a moral outrage, they might realize that it's really the public's way of saying, we are tired of paying money for crap, and then maybe they'd stop wasting their money on low-talent acts like Ashlee Simpson and William Hung. File-Sharing is not stealing. Charging almost $20 for a CD, when all you want is one or two songs from the CD, is stealing.

Most CDs cost $10 to $15. The only two I've seen for $20 have a huge ammounts of songs on them.
By the way, have you looked into the writings of Marx and Engels? I'm sure you'd like them.

I am not a communist. I'm not calling for the end of the top 1% as the beginning of some massive re-distribution of wealth. It's really more an extensive audit, necessitated by, among other things, our war in Iraq, the growing problem of outsourcing, and Enron, Worldcom, and Tyco. And the money would be going back into the government to get us out of our country's current deficit.
Also, the price of a CD depends on where you shop, but that's not the point. The point is that the consumer is still forced to buy a whole CD just to get one or two songs. |
