Bush isn't just a familiar idiot, he's;
-the head of an administration that has lied repeatedly and delibertaly to grab and maintain power
-he started a war for the sake of stealing oil
-he ****** up FEMA badly enough that it disregarded warnings about Katrina and the levies, and then was seemingly incapable of getting any sort of disaster relief underway at once
-he's advocated torture
-he's made numerous signing statements intended to enhance his own personal power
-he's suspended Habeus Corpus
Just off the top of my head.
This isn't predictable idiocy, this is predictable incompetence leading to tyranny.
Yeah, Cretien was boring. But he wasn't ******* up our or anyone elses country.
Rai, you realise that those are challenges at a local level, quite often at school libraries, with no easily visible national agenda, right? Sure, small and petty reasons, but not nationally mandated. So, any of those books could still be aquired at most bookstores that would have carried them. Not a very effective ban, then.
No one was harmed by religiously motivated attempted local bans on books. But what about someone who
placed a deeply religious person who is opposed to any kind of birth control and pushes abstinance only sex ed in charge of population affairs in the entire US? Wouldn't that be kind of a hinderance on people - especially kids in school - getting real information on thier bodies and how they work? Couldn't that cause a bit more harm?
How could a newbie be any worse than Bush is right now? He doesn't know how to run a country? Neither does Bush, apparently.
(It's not that I'm more upset about TRON than everything else, it's a case of the straw that broke the camels back.)
