I can only make guesses as to the "logic." Maybe a population with the ability to think critically is threatening. Or maybe it would undermine this... [link]
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Don't forget that another right-wing meme is that Obama is setting up indoctrination camps so he can start recruiting students into American socialistic versions of Nazi Youth--that's what Americorps is a coverup for.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I thought that "socialist" was a codeword for "Jewish". Is it now just a generic xenophobic term for "different"?

More like "Communist, New World Order, you expect me to pay anything towards supporting those damned darker people who will just piddle it away on booze and drugs, and all those single women will just get pregnant and have abortions anyway, God Bless America, shut up and go away!"
I don't talk to my neighbors, because I hear stuff like this, though they're far too polite and church-going to say "shut up and go away," because they're still hoping to convert me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG, this is the worst idea ever, and I will not participate!
9-9-09, A Day Without Cats On The Internet
Urlesque is proposing that on 9-9-2009 we all take a break from posting about cats on the internet. Instead they suggest that you blog about many of the other wonderful non-cat animals out there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm starting to wish I had been more anti-GWB.

You were too reasonable in your opposition.
I'd sort of forgotten all the flavors of Right Wing crazy during the Dubya years because I was too busy hating on his NeoCon foreign policy, unilateral military actions, subverting the Constitution and advocating torture.

This is what I'm saying! They (the right) kept saying we (the left) were anti-American anytime we said, "Um, maybe his policies aren't the best?" And now look at these crazy MFers!
