Perspectives on America from Abroad

Cheney president while Dubya Doody's under anesthesia? That's scarier than anything Stephen King could come up with. And all the while, America's economy leaking away like a seive; you just hope the Republicans lose some of that money, though I doubt it, since they're professional insiders-- that's why they HAD to have a president in office right now. The Democratic taxpayers will cover the loss. Be interesting to see whether Harris gets her election payback in Florida...

"under god"? Leave it out. The less America sounds like al qaeda, the better. Free nations and their actions must be founded on reason, not faith. Faith can justify anything; reason cannot. And that god in the pledge of allegiance, isn't he (of course it's a guy) the same god that blessed the terrorists who martyred themselves straight to heaven on 9-11, where they will get several dozen virgins each etc.? What mass idiocy is generated by vast concepts in vacuous minds!! Is there any concept "civilization" has manipulated more disastrously and jingoistically than the concept of god?

Back here at last from America itself, filled to bursting with micro/macro images of the experience, of the weft and warp of being in the world's greatest experimental polity, all to be parsed here as realizations bubble to the surface of the jetlagged cauldron that is my brain...
