Candice and list,
In the final analysis, nobody is asking me. Just a lot of putrid air from the
mouths of a few leading men actors like Bush, Blair and our own thingy,
what's his name. If Bush says I'm for the terrorists by opposing him. GOOD!
I'll be for the terrorists. Create three, four, many World Trade centers! The
falling towers of Babel, no doubt. (I have to admire the symbolism of the
attack.)
I had better 'fess up. I am currently working on a novel, in part concerned
with fictional terrorist activities in Aust and including a fascist style
military coupe by a certain Major George Johnston (whose name in Aust history
carried out the first Australian military coupe.) Sick as it may sound, all
this rhetoric pouring from governmental mouths like Bush is like a gift from
the goddess, since I was having trouble getting it right. Now, all I have to
do is write it down and edit it to make it tighter as it pours from the
speakers of my television via the molar media. Having said this, I still
oppose the racist war even if this may cost me my freedom and even my life.

ps to Jill. I ain't gonna vote for either of them, lib or lab. Thinking
Socialist Alliance, since a dyke leads the Victorian senate ticket.
