cyranoOkay, 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.

Date: 2003-09-16 09:26 am (UTC)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'.
