Throw the bums out, and then, as much
as possible, un-do the damage they've done

Are appointments made by an illegitimate president legal?

Along with impeachment of the entire crowd of evil doers in the executive branch shouldn't we be looking at undoing the

damage by getting rid of the folks they chose to help them with their crimes, including their appointments to the Supreme Court? Why not go back to the point where the government was still legal and start over?

A new, legitimate Congress elected by clean and honest elections can be expected to repeal the unjust laws, but the military, the civil service and the Supreme court will still be stacked with the servants of criminal masters.

Changing the bad laws is just a start. Proper investigations by a new Congress will reveal the crimes whereby these criminals grabbed power. Once the evidentiary issue on the illegitimacy of those in currently in power is settled there can be no logical opposition to reversing the process of their attempt to consolidate their ill gotten gains.

To think otherwise is just to invite a future criminal attempt to take over our government with the aid of the people they left behind.

  Well, I certainly can't disagree with that. You bet your sweet bippy, these bastards should be impeached, convicted, removed from office, arrested, tried, and imprisoned for violation of American law, then shipped to the Hague to face international charges, and meanwhile, definitely, everyone they've installed into power should be removed from office at once and at least investigated for collusion in treason.

But -- insert long, loud sigh. The world needs dreamers and I love your dream, Doc, but it doesn't seem likely.

You're asking for genuine justice, when the alleged opposition party that controls both houses of Congress can't even pass a non-binding vote of no confidence on the flamboyantly felonious Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

We've got a President and Vice President who state plainly that they've broken the law, who continue breaking the law, who announce their intentions to continue breaking the law, and even with all that and Democrats in power, there isn't anything but the quietest whisper of impeachment. America's never seen a more blatant criminal in high office than Dick Cheney, but the odds that Cheney might be impeached -- not convicted and removed from office, mind you, just impeached -- aren't even 50/50.

The world needs dreamers and I love your dream, Doc, but it doesn't seem likely.
You've found me out!

Dreams are what reality is made of. Dream the world you want to live in.

Change, I have noticed, is preceded by a whetting of the appetite for an ideal, and then actual change is midwifed by compromise. Like bargaining for a better price is preceded by unreasonable demands and equally unreasonable offers. We need to demand a total house-cleaning in order to achieve a maximum amount of tidying up.

I remain convinced that change will come only after a great deal of suffering brought about by failure of this system of deceit and dispossession, hypocrisy and horror. The nature and degree of that change will be conditioned by what people are willing to visualize, to dream about. We should not sell ourselves short.

Re Foolproof

Thank you Kevin. What a flattering comparison. Franklin may have been the most evolved individual, as well as the most fun loving, in politics in the last millennium.

TV addiction has so decreased the attention span of the population that joining in with sound bite communication, rather than trying to beat the problem seems an attractive option. TV alone may be proven to be a sufficient cause for the failure of technological civilization, if anyone is still around to do the proving, that is.

THE TV IS EATING YOUR HEAD! Pass the word.

Our front page is free from nudity and profanity, but interior pages and external links may not be safe for work, and you may be shocked, offended, or in trouble with your boss. A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.

Anything sent to Unknown News may be published. If you don't want it published, say so plainly. Of course, we publish all incoming hate mail.

Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.

Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.

 We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.

You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.

But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.

Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.

If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.

If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
