BASF yeah..

you basically got the jist of what i was hinting at.

 

 

 

in some ways all of the modern liberties we think we are given turn out to be more creature comforts then true freedom..

 

And the term freedom is more rhetoric then practice. alot of people will automatically jump to saying we are peacekeepers and our soldiers are defending our freedom.. because.. thats what 'WE' apparently do.. 'WE' are the global police... the shepherds that can do no wrong...

 

 

im going to re read this once im a bit more awake and possibly write a better response to clarify.

 

dipshit-ola.... im so damn bonnie and clyde.

your honesty is commended.

 

 

as a favor, let just inform now, before you take things too far.... the old 'needle-and-indian ink' A tattoo on your hand, between your thumb and first finger, is played out.

so are dead kennedy's tatoos.

I'm free to be arrested for a whole bunch of

bullshit that affects no one but myself.

 

You're free to struggle to get by if you don't

aspire to spend your life at a job you could

really give a fuck about if you don't already

come from money.

 

I dunno. I could really give a shit. I plan on

living here long enough to take all the money

I can out of the US and then ducking out to

buy a castle in Romania with my 5'6", 125lb,

all-natural 34D, Italian Lois Lane.

yes... however dental isn't covered.

Medical is covered for everyone. You dont have to pay your doctor.

Obviously not all procedures are covered (like cosmetic and elective surgeries)

but we still have it way better than south of the border.

 

On the otehr hand...

If you need serious surgery asap,

you're just going to the next place in line even if it's not soon enough.

People in canada with money who need something done yesterday will

just go to the states, pay the big bucks and be back in action the next day.

 

A friends grandma needed something that she would have had to wait 6 months for

to get it for free up here. 6 months wasn't quick enough and she probably

would have died. So 20g's and a trip to Buffalo and she's all fixed up.

Freedom of speech, press, and due process are being thrown to hell. In a recent example, a kid I know from Purdue was recently arrested along with this group:

 

ST. PAUL: Terror patrol yields 'urban explorers'

BY BILL GARDNER

Pioneer Press

 

It is the dead of night on a darkened street behind the Gopher State Ethanol plant in St. Paul, and six men dressed in dark clothing walk in single file.

 

Clearly up to no good, thought a police officer who spotted them.

 

The men were stopped and a backpack searched. It contained two-way radios, flashlights and night vision equipment.

 

Police located the men's car and found rappelling equipment, a gas mask, more flashlights, radios, a 35mm camera, a first-aid kit, night vision binoculars and a notebook with directions to various tunnels in Stillwater, Duluth and Minneapolis.

 

It was 1 a.m. Sunday on Erie Street. The nation was on high alert for terror activities.

 

All six were arrested and booked for investigation of possible burglary and terrorism activities, St. Paul Police Department spokesman Paul Schnell said on Monday.

 

Police eventually decided that the men were not terrorists, but not before checking them thoroughly.

 

The men, varying in ages from 19 to 29, were questioned separately.

 

"They were quite evasive initially," Schnell said.

 

Eventually the men became more cooperative, Schnell said.

 

"They indicated they were involved in urban exploration," he said. "One talked about looking at nearby caves."

 

Police decided that while the men were not terrorists, they may have committed some crimes and held the men in jail Sunday and Monday. Authorities have until noon today to charge the men with a crime or release them, Schnell said.

 

"It will not have anything to do with terrorism," Schnell said of the possible charges. "That was absolutely ruled out."

 

Three of the men are from Wisconsin and the others are from Inver Grove Heights, Oakdale and Minneapolis.

 

Urban explorers seek caves, old tunnels and abandoned buildings to explore.

 

One such group, known as Action Squad: Minneapolis Urban Adventurers, has a Web site that details their activities, missions and code of conduct.

 

It wasn't clear whether the men arrested have any connection with the Action Squad, but it seems likely they are engaged in similar activities.

 

According to the Action Squad Web site, the group was formed on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus in 1996.

 

"In the years since, we have gained access to a staggering variety of tunnel systems, swam through drain systems, scaled the exteriors of buildings, waded through waist deep sewage, rappelled down and built ladders up vertical shafts, and snuck into the guts of inhabitated structures. Thus far, we have avoided apprehension, and no one has died."

 

The Web site provides no names and is run by the Action Squad leader known as Max Action, who has appeared in various news media stories but always concealing his true identity.

 

According to the Web site, Action Squad does this:

 

"In a nutshell, Action Squad explores. This generally occurs late at night, to aid in avoiding other people, particularly those with badges and funny blue uniforms. We climb buildings, sneak into factories, crawl through all kinds of tunnels, spelunk old brewery caves, poke around abandoned buildings, and run across rooftops."

 

The Web site says Action Squad is "a group of people in their early to mid-20s, ranging from conservatively-dressed law students to high school dropouts with Mohawks to grad students with Mohawks. What we have in common is the desire to get into places that people just don't normally go."

 

But whether it's Max Action or Osama bin Laden, police are very serious about checking out suspicious activities that have the slightest appearance of terrorism, Schnell said.

 

"These types of things are going to be taken extremely seriously," he said.

What the article doesn't really mention, is that they were charged under the catch-all bullshit in the Patriot act and interrogated for around 48 hours by the FBI before they finally determined that a group of kids running around with flashlights wasn't a threat to homeland security.

 

 

 

One freedom we do have is that to buy lots and lots of guns, legally. Even fully automatic weapons can be purchased without much problem by those with clear records after paying a $200.00 tax. I for one am proud of this freedom, because if nothing else it insures the entire country is more or less armed if King Bush II attempts to pull some full military state bullshit on us.

I dont think it would work that way.

 

Right now it seems that even questioning your 'president'

will get you labeled as un-american. I might be wrong but

it seems like most people are content to sit back and watch

the superbowl while Bush and Co. sully up the American name

around the world. As long as they keep taking little steps,

no one is going to get outraged enough to do anything about it.

I'm outraged but powerless. You need funding

to even begin to make the slightest difference

on a grand scale... and even when that's put

into practice, like seeking said, color changing

bongs, rent, and stereo systems take presidence.

 

Question voices are out there now-a-days,

on a grand scale even. The Bill Mahers and

John Stewarts do have a voice but it's seen

as nothing more than comical idiosyncracies

and synnicism (sp?).. nothing more than a

passing Timothy Leary fascination for the

public to use as a referance point to sound

'on the brink' in casual conversation... what

it boils down to is that it's all bullshit, talk is

only talk, and we're all fucked... so let's get

busy destroying the human race quicker. I

wanna see the fucking fireworks.

Bill Maher got shit on for speaking his mind.

 

He said that he felt it was cowardly to drop high altitude bombs

on people in mud huts who ride goats and make less than 1$ US a week.

 

He also said that the 9/11 hijackers wern't cowardly, 'evil' yes, 'cowardly' no.

 

He caught hellfire for those ones.
