Nawww, ya don't really have to worry about "Big Brother". Seriously. Big government has 260 or so million of us and there's really no way they can even keep track of the "evil doers" let alone anyone else.

I far more fear "Little Brother". The weasle down the street with too much time on his hands and a grudge -- or maybe his lawyer.

He asked which "Father". I replied Guido Sarducci (aka "Father" Guido Sarducci). One of the characters from the early days of SNL.

I made another reference to another character, Emily Latella as well.

What relevance any of this has to do with the quote is purely stream of conciousness and free association.

Geeze, I thought that was perfectly clear.

(Nixon reference BTW)

I had no idea sarducci was an SNL character...

cool, one more completely useless fact to file away.

and that "he" was me.

emily latella? I missed the reference and don't know that one. enlighten us, oh green one.

nixon was a drunken petulent child. a shrink could've had a field day with him. didn't get that reference either.

maybe I'm just getting tired.

I realize I am fairly new to this world but I believe this maybe one of those rare POSTS from JOHNRICH in which I haven't heard/seen the word 'gun' or 'ammo' used. Or is it I am just confused????

IF you are going to be Stupid - you better be tough!

[Kennedy 0]

you're confused. he posts and talks about a lot of htings. he, like myself, just gets higher profile in the so called gun threads.

Emily Latella was a character on SNL played by Gilda Radner.

She would go on the Weekend Update segment and give a rebuttal to an editorial. People actually used to do that 30 or so years ago. The character was somewhat old and obviously not all there and the gag was that she would NOT hear something quite right. The gag would go something like.

"What's all this non-sense I hear about people protesting the violins on television? Violins make a lovely sound and are quite nice. I think it's a shame that we can't have -more- violins on television!"

Her rant would go on for maybe a couple of minutes.

At that point someone would correct her . . . "Miss Latella, that's violence. There's to much violence on television."

She'd then suddenly understand her error and -always- end by saying "Well, that's different then. . . never mind."

As for Nixon, he was pretty famous for saying that he wanted to "make one thing perfectly clear". Kinda like the Clinton "I did not have sex with that woman" quote.

I know.. its freakin BIZARRE.. maybe the poll last week has fostered a new endeavor to find instances of government intrusion.. which kinda goes along with the whole evil government wants your guns thought.

So lets all see where this one goes.

The Right wing does not like government intrusion.. yet it is doing more of that than ANY previous government in this country.. for now its somewhat benign... or at least appears to be.. but if we get one more serious terrrorist attack.. and marshal law is declared it will have all the tools it needs.

Next step???

as has been made clear, this government is more neo-con than conservative. also, most "right wingers" are slightly to very fed up with Bush, but think he's one hell of a lot better choice than Gomer, I mean John Pyle, I mean Kerry.

from my understanding of it there is an installation with some sort of computer that monitors everyform of communication and is programmed to hone in on certain key words . this info comes from a guy who claims in the interview that he is a former cia or something to that efect don't remember which one.
up here in canada the news said the other day that the government wants to take blood dna and fluid samples on the next round of census. big brother hmmmmmm

so you are basically saying that even though the Ultra Righties want to control every aspect of everyones life.... they just want everyone to believe they are not.. by ALL of us just following along with their agenda so that it will not LOOK like they are controlling.

Ok.. I buy that..

right..

Is that really the "best" you can do?

Seriously, is that the only thing negative you can say about the guy -- that he sort of has a -slight- resemblance to a fictional nit-wit? (As opposed to the actual nit-wit GWB sees when he looks in a mirror. Sorry couldn't resist.)

(This really ought to go in the other thread, but we've drifted off so far in this one it's pretty much just hopeless anyway.)

I mean come on! You have YEARS of Senatorial voting records and THIS is what you choose to talk about? His looks?

Egads! At least when the left side picks on GWB we usually try to make fun of something stupid he's done or said. Certainly with all of Kerry's governmental doings he's made a few gaffs over the years.

no, I've done more than enough Kerry bashing

Q: Is John Kerry for or against it?

A: Absolutely!

I'm just still laughing aobut that post.

Kerry has less backbone than an snake, and he's quicked to change direction. Bush, well, he's just Bush.

Jeanne, Conservatives don't want bigger governemnt or more intrusion. Republicans, on the other hand, seem to be forgetting some of their conservative roots. Bush is Republican, not Conservative.

[e.g. - most conservatives favor less intl intervention, too]

> Trying to control every single aspect of your life!

They will end up "controlling" (i.e monitoring) many parts of your life due primarily to people's apathy. Right now, cars record the last few seconds before a crash. It's pretty easy to disable this feature (although you lose the airbags too) but no one bothers to do it, because they just don't care. The same has already happened with the internet-spying provisions of the Patriot Act, ATM cameras, flight data recorders, face-recognition technology in security cameras etc. All this would fail miserably if people just refused to use ATM's, used PGP keys in their email, refused to fly on airlines etc but convenience will win every time. People just can't be bothered.

>Sounds exactly like something both klintons, Kerry, Kennedy en
> company would just love to force on us!

As I recall, Bush's administration drafted the Patriot Act.

fort meade assassination president bush spying carnivore terroist blow up explosion ied fertilizer capitalist imperialist colonialist western NSA CIA DIA DSS secret service protection weakness

that's all I could think of for now. (I'm sure HH will love all the new bots crawling around tonight)

the program concerning e-mail was Carnivore, and yes, it read every word you wrote. I'd say it still exists, but they probably have a newer better version by now. I've heard theories that they've been in bed with telecommunications industry since the fifties, and hell, I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibilties.

I would use, but everybody is too damn lazy to use a free and effective encryption program on their e-mail.

PGP = Pretty Good Protection = basically nobody can hack it. it's a lesser version of what everybody needing secrecy uses, from interns to NSA.

Which sounds like my position on most issues, and I think yours as well. Quick - are you for or against war? For or against supporting foreign governments? For or against children? For or against families? A simpleton would claim that "all war is wrong" or "any war we fight is good" whereas a more learned man would say something along the lines of "it depends on the situation."

Am I for or against wars? For or against revolutions? For or against abortion? Yes, if you require a one word answer.

It's not a theory. All new cellphone systems have a required feature called "lawful intercept" that provides a back door into essentially all traffic on cellphone networks. It became necessary because CDMA (i.e. digital cellular telephony) is essentially encrypted and difficult to eavesdrop on.

[Kennedy 0]

I have a very clear line for my answer to all those questions. does the war protect american interests when no other course will do so? if it's between other powers, it doesn't necessarily bother me.

I am for supporting other governments that support the US and are not entirely repulsive to our way of life, in that order.

who would say they're against children?

my problem is Kerry is his only line is "yes," unless the popular answer is "no."
