[pct-l] Bush is my shepherd
I'd love to take the politically correct high road and
say "take it to a political discussion board"... nahh.
Since war is such a drastic and unrealistic solution
(yet it happens) why not look to the unrealistic (and
obvious) solutions:
1. Ban all newly produced petroleum based products.
2. Religion and State keep separate (the great
loophole)
3. Stop using that car. NOW. And don't even tell me
you're driving an SUV!
The future belongs to the consumer. What are you gonna
to do about it CONSUMER?
aloha, Bluce Ree
PS-Remember what america's biggest pop star once said:
"If you want to make the world a better place take a
look at yourself and make the change." <lol> See you
in Neverland!
