Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Bruce, and why is it again you're suckering yourself into trying to defend the fascists against the democrats? That's what your argument boils down to. It amounts to your arguing against the best interest of all of mankind -- which category should include you. How can you be so morally careless?

Undemocrats cannot have moral equivalency with democrats. Understand this: undemocracy facilitates oppression and too often develops out of someone's seeking license to oppress some out-group, while democracy hinders oppression -- perhaps slowly, but so far as I can see, inevitably. This "different system" idea of yours prevents your actual understanding of what's at stake, and thus your thinking becomes self-obfuscated and ultimately self-defeated. To indulge a cliche, then the terrorists have won. Over you, anyway.
