Reading Saqqara's journal

If you guys are familiar with Terry Goodkind, a set of wizard's rules accompanies his books, which help to explain life. If you aren't, here's the whole first rule.

"People Are Stupid. People can be made to believe any lie, either because they want it to be true or because they fear that it is."

After reading a reply to my Bush Game thread, this has never rang more true. I'm probably getting myself into trouble with this, but I feel it needs to be said. I'm not forcing my "political beliefs" on anyone, I'm merely stating facts.

The Bush Administration has lied constantly to the US public not only about the war on terror, but about general improvement in Iraq. If they'll lie about this, what else won't they lie about?

When Bush assumed his position as Commander in Chief, he "inherited" the largest budget surplus in US history. Since his time in office, the US has the worst budget deficit since the Great Depression. Almost 3 million jobs have been lost while Bush has had his reign.

Since the invasion into Iraq, Bush and his administration offered Halliburton no-bid contracts to the oil industry in Iraq. These contracts convinently came after Halliburton paid Dick Cheney 2 million bucks.

I cannot understand how people who know these facts continue to spout the nonsense such as was spouted in a reply to the Bush Game thread. It seems to me people would let common sense rule their thoughts and do the right thing for the country.

Perhaps people don't understand these facts, but only see the world as Mr. Bush and his puppet pals have painted it. Boy don't you just love how people voluntarily wear those rose-colored glasses? Hopefully it makes you think. If it doesn't, consider yourself victim of the Wizard's First Rule.

"It is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts."

Me, I am gullable, and I admit as much. Which is part of the reason I stay away from politics; I can never figure them sly sons of a bitches out. If I were to vote for one, only to find they were corrupt would violate something deep within me...

As everyone should know, I understand computers, and really computers are people, well sort of... getting confused... forgetting english language... erm duh pookah...

Huh, that was scary. No really, computers are my feild, and I by no means intend to try and figure out the bastardness of the human mind. That would fry my noodle!

I should be ashamed of myself.
