    Well, the view that Bin Ladin should be captured is consistent with most peoples' sense of justice, and has little to do with brainwashing from the T.V. To think otherwise is pretty condescending. Iraq might be a different story.

    Punishment and revenge are instilled, no doubt about that. What does it change...nothing. Perhaps it's time to second guess that way of thinking and switch to one a little more productive.

    By that logic, then, lets empty all the prisons ... Heck, let's abolish all laws. I mean, punishment and revenge are clearly out of control in this society, right?

    I firmly believe in rehabilitation.

    As do I ... But some degree of containment is necessary during that process, to protect the rest of society.

    Capturing Bin Laden would do nothing to protect society. It would be merely for show...a symbol for something that doesn't exist, the end to terrorism.

    No problem, I was hoping many that wouldn't have heard about this anywhere else would see this thread. :)

    What is this nation wide meetup really going to do? As much as you people want, Bush isn't leaving office until 08. Why don't you go getters work on unifying yourselves to vote. This just seems like a waste. Yes, you have a voice, but for some reason it hasn't been loud enought when you really need it.

    A few years ago I went to the anti-war protest at Seattle Center to take some pictures for a project. If some of the people there would spend half as much time on actually getting their friends to vote as they do making their paper mache Bush devil caricature you might have a chance.

    While I most likely don't see eye to eye with those doing this on most everything political, I do admire those who use their voice during events like this, but maybe you should be working a little harder on our next election instead of some day in early Oct.

    Bush still being in office was one indicator.

    Rigged elections and people being wrongly deleted off of eligible voters lists might indicate something else.

    Mark my words

    For some reason, I don't think there will be an '08 election. Bush still has over a year to impose martial law and it's all set up. You will be living in a Fema camp and eating rations stored at your local Wal-Mart.

    As it is, Bush doesn't need a declaration from Congress to go to war. He has the power to impose dictorial powers on the people, to impose martial law.

    But, then it's too late and your living in Nazi Germany. You may have a different idea of how Hitler came to be dictator, but if you read up on it and talk to some Holocaust survivors you will know how similar things are.

    I suppose if you believe that happened. It seems that if all the people that are, I'm sure, going to take advantage of a chance to skip out on school or a job or watching their soap operas voted you'd win an election. especially in some of the swing states. I really don't believe that the MAN can get to all of your voting machines.

    Wow, I guess I had better get some shells for the .12 gauge, and stock up on ramen noodles. Seriously I don't believe for a second that Bush is going to become President for life before the 08 election. What happens if you win the congress in the months to come? Its funny you hammer Bush for spreading unnecessary fear, aren't you doing the same with statements like that?

    Accept my words as a warning, not terrorism. I personally wouldn't care, except I'll have to come down there and liberate you. I'll probably die in the process. You know, and I don't like to see people enslaved that way.

    Ramen noodles are awesome and, yea get some shells, you might need them.

    If the people win congress, then no sweat, it's going to take another pearl harbor for him to do it anyway. Then again if he keeps pressuring countries like Iran you just might get it.
