I have not stopped Bob from spewing his garbage at all. I also 
stated that he, however marginally, did not cross the line. He is 
more guilty of treason by the English legal definition as shown here 
in asterisks:

Treason-felony. Under the English statute 11 & 12 Vict., c. 12, 
passed in 1848, is the offense of compassing, devising, etc., to 
depose her majesty from the crown; or to levy war in order to 
intimidate either house of parliament, etc., **or to stir up 
foreigners by any printing or writing** to invade the kingdom. This 
offense is punishable with penal servitude for life, or for any term 
not less than five years, etc., under statutes 11 & 12 Vict., c. 12, 
§ 3; 20 & 21 Vict., c. 3, § 2; 27 & 28 Vict., c. 47, § 2. By the 
statute first above mentioned, the government is enabled to treat as 
felony many offenses which must formerly have been treated as high 
treason.

But hey, we ain't in the UK, we're here and he still managed to toe 
the line. I know Bush isn't the government, or the people.

I don't know where you get off telling me that I made this a racial 
issue. What I've been saying is that it's NOT a racial issue or even 
a social or wealth issue as Bob contends. It's an issue of how in 
the hell do you evacuate nearly 200,000 ill, handicapped and poverty-
level people in a timely fashion (especially when some of them 
WOULDN'T leave given the opportunity)? It's a feat that even our 
almighty powerful nation hasn't worked out yet. Never the less, 
people have thrown the race card, the poverty card, the genocide 
card.

I'm as angry as any of you at how this went down. The government 
fumbled. Too long to mobilize, too long to organize and people died. 
I begged and called my employer and my unit to send me daily. I'm 
contemplating taking in an evacuee and helping them get back on 
their feet even though it may be months.

My whole point is, the government was bumbling, inept and 
incompetent, not maliciously, willfully neglectful as Bob is saying. 
Is it a crime to be that stupid? Possibly, when the lives of 
thousands were lost, but let's try them for terminal stupidity in 
the court of the voters or even impeachment by Congress, and not for 
the crime of genocide in the ICC.

I contend that Bob is a hypocrite because he barely stays within the 
realm of criticism and yet suckles on the sweet breast of Uncle 
Sugar with his gov't provided EPA job (which he'll NEVER get fired 
from) instead of showing the conviction of his beliefs and moving to 
a more "world-view" oriented nation like France or Canada, and on 
top of that, he cowers behind the questionable logic that "there are 
no jobs available for someone with his type of specialized education 
and job experience" as rationale for staying exactly where he is. 
Hell, if anything there are MORE jobs for a guy with his 
qualifications in a European or Asian nation.

The humor in all of this, is I agree with Bob on many things, though 
to a less venomous and ranting degree. Much of our gov't is corrupt 
but it's on both sides. I'd love to replace these people but money 
controls the election because "He with the dollars, proliferates his 
message" via the media. If you don't have dollars, the people don't 
know who you are. They don't know your message and you can't fight 
the negative image that your opponent paints of you. We need fresh 
blood to make hard, unpopular decisions but I don't know how we'll 
ever get it.

Blah blah blah. I'm out of breath. This could go on ad nauseum. As 
far as I'm concerned, I'm making a large step by (soon)commuting 
without oil and using solar energy at home to avoid increasing my 
grid demand. I'll try and find something else to do that will piss 
people off and make life better for me as soon as I think of one.
