nigeltdeOur moron of a prime minister has committed us to war.
All I am able to do is splutter incoherently, and think about buying a sniper rifle. And according to The Australian most Australians support him.
This I cannot get my head around. Those figues must be editorialised in some manner.
No way can the majority of Australians think that Howard is a voice of reason. No way can the majority of Australians be fooled by his utterly transparent fear and propaganda campaigns. No way can the majority of Australians actually believe that Howard is correct when he says that attacking Iraq will solve anything at all.
These stats cannot be true. I refuse to believe it. I've grown out of my pet theory that people were stupid. I'm sure I'm not wrong, there.
Goddamn I am so fucking angry and confused and frustrated and sad about this.
You. Fucking. Bastard.

It's not as easy as you'd think to get arrested. For one thing, there's never enough wirecutters.

Date: 2003-03-18 05:31 pm (UTC)*shrugs* It's a quote from a book I just read. See, the main character is an anti-nuc activist, and she's with a bunch of other protesters at a nuclear power plant. They're "snowballing", which means that they each do an act in order to get themselves arrested, so the media will pay attention to them. In this case, they were cutting the wire of the perimeter fence. The police won't arrest them until they cut the wire, hence the bitching about not enough wire cutters.
....well, I found it amusing *g*
