    I would say finding them in their lairs and ripping their heads off seems pretty strict. Maybe they are also getting fed up with criminals being protected by the law instead of making them responsible for their crimes. I hope they carry out their plans to the end and show the world what it means to be a worthless bottom feeding criminal.

    Well, it may be my faulty memory after all.
    I heard the speech on radio, but did not pay it much attention, because I had meal to pay attention to.

    I have a tendency towards believing the article, not only because that's how I really want it to be but because the media loves great sound bytes like "finding them in their lairs and ripping their heads off." The media cannot outright lie and say someone said something completely untrue. They'll get sued. They can, however, lie by omission and not tell the whole truth. I still don't think that's what is happeneing here. I think the people that said these things are very passionate about their work and the media hogs eat that up, that's their bread and butter. That way they don't have to make stuff appear more sensational. Just simply tell the truth. I bet they can't even print 75% of what people really say.

    I've written very verbose letters to the editor here in Duluth and they have never printed even one, like when I said that the Duluth school board council should all be dragged out of the administration building and guillotined down at the bayfront and broadcasted on the local news so the children can see that the people of Duluth care about the kids' future. That should have been 1st page! I give them all this sweet material and it never goes in the paper. They have to censor the truth because we don't want anyone to know how people really feel. They'd be out of a job.

    Returnig to the original theme (even if it is a little impolite)...
    Wanted to post this earlier, but got distracted...

    Somehow everyone mistakes Imperialism for Fascism.

    Imperialism is a final stage of capitalism's evolution, when capital (money, resources, factories...) is centered in a few transnational corporations (which control the governments, and all aspects of life), or something like that (well, I did not read Lenin's works recently, but the core is this.)

    Fascism is an ideology of racism, anti-semitism and nationalism, and also a terror goverment (regime) of one party, oppresing democratic freedoms, exterminating opposing parties, trying to start a war.

    I believe you all have Imperialism, not Fascism.

    Unlucky you!

    [...evil cackling laughter...]

    By the way, had you ever visited the site of "Arachnophillia" creator mr. Lutus?

    I think you will like it, if you do not know it already.

    Do you mean the science site or the game site?

    By the way they published the pictures of one of the bombers over here, she was only 17.

    That is an excellent website. How long have they been having that website without me?! I like the article topics, they make me feel smart, mostly.

    My favorite so far is the psychology channel. It does irritate me however to learn that there are still some people that believe that psychology is a science. They need a visit by Dr. Lector so he can dissuade them of that perception.
