Once again, no substance. The beneficiaries of U.S. benevolence live in Utopia, and all those who would criticize any policies of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. and their friends obsequiously bow to evil.
You're not about discovering the truth, you're about smearing those that you don't like.

?????????????????
WTF??? Does this mean something or is it a bunch of hot air? You've been taking obfuscation lessons from your hero, Gorgo. Do you really think life was better under the Taliban for the people of Afghanistan? Do you really think life is "better" waiting for bin Laden and the Al Qaeda to rain more terror on our heads? Or do you really side with bin Laden in his goal to destroy civilization and the evil United States?
One last comment: Those of you in the Chomsky circle jerk cult can always play your ace card whenever your ideas or values are criticized. Obviously, the critic is an unwitting tool of the propagandistic media who is engaged in a smear campaign and is a lying sack of shit. The more I analyze Chomsky, the more I realize that he and Jim Jones must be brothers.
Couldn't help it today, folks - ad hominens are flying from my fingertips because I'm so goddamn sick and tired of this unadulterated bullshit.

The Zax
by Dr. Seuss
From The Sneetches and Other Stories
Copyright 1961 by Theodor S. Geisel and Audrey S. Geisel, renewed 1989.
One day, making tracks
In the prairie of Prax,
Came a North-Going Zax
And a South-Going Zax.
And it happened that both of them came to a place
Where they bumped. There they stood.
Foot to foot. Face to face.
"Look here, now!" the North-Going Zax said, "I say!
You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.
I'm a North-Going Zax and I always go north.
Get out of my way, now, and let me go forth!"
"Who's in whose way?" snapped the South-Going Zax.
"I always go south, making south-going tracks.
So you're in MY way! And I ask you to move
And let me go south in my south-going groove."
Then the North-Going Zax puffed his chest up with pride.
"I never," he said, "take a step to one side.
And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways
If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!"
"And I'll prove to YOU," yelled the South-Going Zax,
"That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax
For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule
That I learned as a boy back in South-Going School.
Never budge! That's my rule. Never budge in the least!
Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!
I'll stay here, not budging! I can and I will
If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!"
Well...
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, the new highway came through
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax
And left them there, standing un-budge in their tracks.
(sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm just funnin' ya!)

The author of this poem is nameless here, but appears to be the work of Dr Seuss, who is of course, an elite member of the corporate media, practically assigned by the Eisenhower administration to indoctrinate children into understanding the miracles of capitalistic imperialism. He has obviously left out a great deal of history in his account. Such things as the oppression of the South-Going Zax by the North-Going Zax, the intervention of the CIA, and of course the IMF "structural adjustments" which keep the South-Going Zax in poverty. The poem obviously takes the side of the North-Going Zax, although the exact words aren't used, one can easily tell that the author wants to show children that the North-Going Zax is a "freedom-fighter" and the South-Going Zax is a "terrorist."

The remark about the smear campaign has to do with your ideas about Faurisson and the Khmer Rouge. If you have some other coherent statements to make, please let me know. Can people shave their beards now that the Taliban is gone? Sure. What does that have to do with anything? Did someone say that the Taliban (funded in large part by the US/UK and friends) was not a nasty bunch?

Thanks, Tokyodreamer - I've decided on my own poetry tonight, in honor of Gorgo, since mere prose words fail me at this point:
Poem #1:
GORGO
And mine's much the same. Fool with money is Diocleides.
Seven drachmas for dog skins, uncured leather with the hair scarcely off;
And five fleeces he took yesterday - absolutely filthy: work on work.
From Theocritus Idyll XV, translated by F. Beake
Poem # 2:
Ma'la dh` kekorhme'nas Go'rgws.
Very weary of Gorgo.
Quoted by Choeroboscus about A.D. 600 to show the Aeolic genitive with -ws. Gorgo is mentioned by Maximus Tyrius with Andromeda as being friends of Sappho.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/sappho/sappho2.htm
Poem # 3:
[With slight apologies to Shakespeare]
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor Gorgo
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Act V Scene V Macbeth
Poem # 4 (a very bad original):
There was a young fellow named Gorgo
Who vaguely resembled ghoul Torgo*
He raged and he ranted
And postured and panted
And others exclaimed “thar he blow”
(*Torgo - from “Manos, the Hands of Fate”, a classic film on MST3K; Original limerick by rubysue, the evil and sadistic anti-Chomsky)
Poem # 5: Not a poem at all, but a visual tribute to Gorgo, the magnificent:

Bill Travers: maybe best known for his role as George Adamsen in "Born Free", but he's appeared in a ton of films.
William Sylvester: I knew this one without even looking it up! He was in "2001" as the NASA guy, Dr. Heywood Floyd. Again, he's had a lot of character roles, including parts in "The Hindenberg" and "Heaven Can Wait". (OK, those I had to look up...  )

VERY GOOD! Yes, William Sylvester is best known for playing Dr. Heywood Floyd in "2001" and, of course, Bill Travers plays George Adamson in "Born Free".
