[at-l] Was???? Now Politics Way Off Topic

[greyowl at rcn.com (greyowl@rcn.com)]

The Great Edward Abbey Said it all::

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded 
realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that 
we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, 
priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.
~
Representative government has broken down. Our politicians 
represent not the people who vote for them but the commercial 
interests who finance their election campaigns. We have the 
best politicians that money can buy.
~
Among politicians and businessmen, *Pragmatism* is the 
current term for "To hell with our children."

Any Questions?

How about one more quote?

Government should be weak, amateurish and ridiculous. At 
present, it fulfills only a third of the role.  (Ahmen).

We now return to our regularly scheduled program.
