Been to NYC 2x in the last week. It is a police state, there are cops on every corner in Manhattan. So far they have been decent though. NYC has a 5 to 1 ratio of democrats to republicans. Bush is trying to play up 911 to the heartland. Every day the media recites the polls like a mantra. People love to be on the side that wins, in the popular crowd. How many people base their votes on the polls? We shall never know. As the 1% that owns the planet consolidate their power votes matter less and less, and their brainwashing through corporate media becomes more effective. But the earth is on our side, she is tired of the rape and carelessness, rampant consumerism, SUVs trampling her skin. Unless we can unite for peaceful solutions the wrath of Kali will be upon us. Animal agriculture will infect us with disease and mother nature will send her storms across the earth. Immerse your souls in love, come together right now, and take the red pill before it is too late. That's my sermon for the RNC.
