For those who are unaware, there are four basic government forms: on top, there is authoritarianism, on the bottom, the opposite of authoritarianism - libertarianism; on the left is liberalism, on the right conservatism. Communism = authoritarianism + liberalism; fascism = authoritarianism + conservatism. Liberalism does not equal communism and conservatism does not equal fascism. The United States is supposed to be a country of liberty (which is why we have a Statue of Liberty). In this country, liberalism and conservatism are ultimately irrelevant. The only thing that truly matters is liberty vs. authority. When fascism, communism or any other form of authoritarianism takes hold, the country has lost its way. With the power we have, any form of authoritarianism taking hold could be extremely dangerous for the country and beyond.
I would encourage the world to see the grim reality hiding below the surface of normalcy. If you think you can spot Hitler by picking out the raving lunatics, try reading 'Inside the Third Reich' by Albert Speer. It shows how Hitler was actually a warm, fatherly figure - a 'patriotic Christian' like all Nazi's were (and apparently, still are). Sometimes, the people you think are the most evil are really the most virtuous (and vice versa). It should be obvious why this seeming anomaly occurs - if evil people exposed their evil, they could not achieve their evil deeds. Good people know they are not evil, therefore they care not for your poor perception.
It is a shame something like the Olympics must once again be tainted by the worst of politics. It is a worse shame if the propaganda campaign succeeds, allowing fascism in America to survive even longer.

"Good people know they are not evil, therefore they care not for your poor perception." i like it!
i get people thinking im evil all the time.
this kinda subject gets deeper though and you start delving into paranoia when you start asking why.
what does bush want? what does america want? what does anyone want? what does bush want you to want?
i did some study on Utopia and utopian visions of the world throughout history in different civilisations. interesting coz there has been many periods in history where everyone has a very definate sense of what they want and where they are going. at the moment we have a bit of a vacume at a time when its very important for everyone to be clued up.
do you think the government in america would sacrifice 5 people from another country to save one american? i dunno.
but at the moment they are acting like human life is expendable in other parts of the world it seems.
what a rambling rant.
over to you.
