The politics of mmmmm feelin' good

[cyrano]

Okay, so I apparently overshared this morning.
I'll stick to polemic and rhetoric.

I read this article, about a global advisory body, and thought to myself "Well, um, if we want to spread democracy, then this sounds like a good thing, right?"
Beyond that I'm not certain of my impressions on the idea.

Day..... Seventeen... plus thirty.... carry the..... Fifty-Two
In Operation Supreme Court Freedom.
Number of liberal Supreme Court Justices struck dead or retired:0

This leads us to one of two conclusions, Pat.
1: God decided that you just haven't earned it yet, baby.
Of course, God being Omniscient, that means he knew all along you were going to fail and decided to let the bad judges stay in office despite their evil intent toward this country and its God-fearing inhabitants.
2: No matter how hard you pray, God doesn't give a rat's ass about who's on the Supreme Court.
It'd sure explain how Clarence Thomas avoids getting struck by lightning.

Hmm, I don't think there is any such thing as over-sharing. We, the readers, are guests in your personal playground here. I think "over-sharing" is a marketing term invented by the Want To Be Sort Of Your Friend When It's Convenient And Fun Advisory Board.

Anyway. for my US$0.02 I would much rather read about what someone else thinks, feels or believes than something neat he/she found on a piece of paper that day.

I have to agree that the all links, all the times post are the ones I find tedious.

Trust me, I can do polemic and rhetoric without the links. (:
It's just that sometimes it makes it easier to discuss matters if there's a page I can point to and say "This is what I'm talking about."

I think I've covered what I think or feel in both these entries. (:
As far as the link, I'm not sure yet what I think and presented it to collect opinions. I mean, I know we think Democracy is good, but I strongly suspect some people will think this sort of Democracy is Very Very Bad. I saw it as a contribution to the discussion rather than 'Here is something to go look at so I don't have to say anything', or at least a 'This is something that is on my mind'.
