Damn

You know how I said I wasn't dead in the last post? Well I suppose it's still technically accurate but after a week of fighting off a cold, it's finally arrived in full. So I feel rather dead anyway. It's times like these I really should eat more capsicum. It's supposed to be awfully good at fighting off the symptoms of asthma which inevitably worsen every time I get a cold.

In other news.... you have to wonder how the US can even begin to call themselves a 'democracy' when they start to gag bloggers, develop weapons that cause excrutiating pain at a distance of two kilometres, and arrest schoolkids for works of fiction they keep in writing journals. Perhaps Australia should send 100,000 troops to land in the US and surround the Congress as "reinforcements of goodwill".

This was observed a while ago.

In short, the assertion is that there are fourteen features indicative of a fascist society; the article demonstrates that the U.S. fulfills each of the fourteen criteria.

Evening, all.
