I am no means a fan of Bush but I have to agree with M.W. here.MarkWilliamson said:OK, ok ok.Kwicko said:SETI: That was my reaction when I saw it on the news crawler yesterday: "Cool; saves us the cost of a trial." I imagine I'd have the same reaction if I'd heard Saddam or Dubya had croaked it.
Not that I am the biggest proponent of our President, but that's just a bit harsh, don't you think, lumping him in with those two? Sure, he's crooked and mean, but he's nowhere near as intentionally evil as either of those maniacs.
I wasn't really trying to intentionally link him or lump him in with the other two; just stating that news of the untimely deaths of any of them would elicit a similar reaction from me - a reaction like, "Hey, the world just became a little bit better place to live."MarkWilliamson said:OK, ok ok.Kwicko said:SETI: That was my reaction when I saw it on the news crawler yesterday: "Cool; saves us the cost of a trial."

Kwicko said:He must be proud of that part of his legacy, huh? Think that's how his Presidency will be remembered - "Not as intentionally evil as Saddam and Milosovic."

:lol: Don't forget they just extended the "Patriot" Act. But then again, they have probably been watching you for some time.

Oooohhh. Good point. I hadn't really thought that one through far enough. Although I could argue that we would only have President Cheney for all of about 7 minutes, at which point his feeble black heart would give out once and for all!I think I would be very sad; We'd have President Cheney.
Man, I hope so. Why the hell do you think I pepper my phone calls with words like "bomb", "jihad", and the like? I just LOOOOOOVVVVE the idea of some Echelon wank at NSA wasting his time (and your tax dollars) keeping track of li'l ol' me. I fear they'd be sorely disappointed with the level of threat present in my online life... Either that or they'd be convinced that the CRX Community is really a sleeper cell hangout where we all gather our coded instructions for the next mission.But then again, they have probably been watching you for some time.
