For any doubters I will presume to repeat parts of a post I made last November wherin some of Bush's key advisers are quoted:

a quote by James Woolsey, former CIA Director, taken from yesterday's [Nov. 2, 01] Inv. Bus. Daily: "Either we will be held in contempt by people like Saddam and bin Laden as we are now, or we will be feared and respected throughout the Middle East. In between being held in contempt and being feared and respected, there is nothing." Is this guy married?

Newt Gingrich wants to attack Iraq within days:"An Iraqi campaign would instantly say to the Middle East, this is not a game, this is not business as usual, you're either with the Americans or you're at risk, and that ought to be our policy."

...Michael Ledeen, a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C. think tank...and author of the book Machiavelli on Modern Leadership(1999). He says: "This is a total war. We're fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out here. .... We are one great revolutionary society in the world, and we want revolution, we don't want stability."

Empire or Not? A Quiet Debate Over U.S. Role http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A37019-2001Aug20

From thre article:

People who label the United States "imperialist" usually mean it as an insult. But in recent years a handful of conservative defense intellectuals have begun to argue that the United States is indeed acting in an imperialist fashion -- and that it should embrace the role. (Emphasis mine -k.)

Further on, it says:

If Americans thought more clearly and openly about the necessity of an imperial mission, Donnelly argues, "We'd better understand the full range of tasks we want our military to do, from the Balkans-like constabulary missions to the no-fly zones [over Iraq] to maintaining enough big-war capacity" to hedge against the emergence of a major adversary.

Now, imagine this: you are a Thirld Worlder, staring starvation in the face because the US installed puppet is strangling your economy. They US supported ruling class in your own country is feverishly shipping all the local resources to US companies; resources that you and your children need to stay alive and make a viable economy for your own country.

And you read this in the Washinston Post, the most public mouthpoiece of the ruling Elite of the US, seeming to telegraph an important sea change in US policy.

What would you think? Hit them before they hit you? Because that is just what will happen, eventually.

Then look at this, (from an avowedly right-wing source)dated 10 september, 2001 The Price Of Empire: Immigration (And Other Nasty Stuff) http://www.vdare.com/francis/price_of_empire.htm

It ought to be clear, at least to those Americans and those conservatives able to think beyond the brass bands and baubles that imperialism always brings, that empire also has its price. Sometimes, as when a country is faced with an implacable and mortal enemy, the price is worth paying or at least trying to avoid, but it's not a price any self-governing republic would want to pay or be able to pay without ceasing to be a republic.

The price of empire for ancient Rome was not only inundation by the slaves and foreigners it conquered but also the tyranny of the emperors themselves and the destruction they finally inflicted. If the United States really wants to be and remain the kind of empire that savants like Mr. Donnelly are gloating over, we need to think carefully about what prices we'll have to pay for it and whether they're really worth paying. (Emphasis mine -k.)

That swill is about the same thing and sends additional political statements.

Finally the beer companies have a reason to be on our side!

Then maybe they should set up a mock pee collection site in biohazard gear. I believe some theater on June 6th will help. And even if pee is a biohazard there must be a laws on how to handle it safely.

Yes in if you hang a quarter in your toilet do not drill a hole in it. It would be social anarchy and the marijuana laws are not that bad anyway.

You'd have to cut it in blocks and assemble it on site.

How about a giant frozen pee sculpture of the Bill of Rights wheeled in front of the White House in the dead of winter?

How many cc's of pee are used in urine tests every year in America? Suppose we estimate using 100 million samples per year and suppose the average sample is 10 cc. (Is that right?)

Oh geez that's one billion cc of urine every year.

How big would an ice sculpture of the Bill of Rights be if it were made of one billion cc of frozen urine?

BUT: could the Bill of Rights be considered a weapon?

I can agree with it being stupid but I really think the word malicious is more appropriate. Isn't malicious on the opposite spectrum of compassionate?

Do you have your POW bumpersticker from the Piss On Washington Company?

That makes those who support those stupid laws, equally stupid. From Bush on down the drain. Stupid.

The British class privilege system does have its advantages. The bootlicking functionaries of the bureaucratic class are the ones who feel they have to hem and haw on the subject.
