From London's Mayor

[patgund]

"I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange for taking others. That is why you are so dangerous. But I know you do fear that you will fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society. I can show you why you will fail. In the days that follow, look at our airports, look at our seaports, and look at our railway stations. And even after your cowardly attack you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners, to fulfill their dreams and achieve their potential. They choose to come to London as many have come before because they come to be free. They come to live the life they choose, they come to be themselves. They flee you, because you tell them how they should live."

-- London Mayor Ken Livingstone

London's mayor said, "They flee you, because you tell them how they should live."

Of course, Dubya will miss that he and his ilk want to do the same derned thing. After all, he would never do anything like those terrists.

Blech. I hate feeling like I'm living in the second season of Babylon 5.

"I hate feeling like I'm living in the second season of Babylon 5."

So I'm not the only one who thinks this? Could President Bush and President Clark be the same person? Will we ever get to season five?



"Sometimes, I get so close and .. it seems I am shut off the important things."
"Indeed. And now with the military starting a stampede over everyone and everything .."
".. people coming and going, and secret meetings .."
".. you never know what it's all about, until later, when its too late."
"And they never listen to us."
"Makes me nervous." [together]
"Same time tomorrow?"
"Sure."

I was joking during the primaries (I was supporting Gen. Wesley Clark), that I wanted the "Good President Clark".

But yeah, you both aren't the only ones feeling that way of late. I've been watching my DVD's of Babylon 5 over the last few months, and felt more and more like someone on the NeoCon side saw President Clark's actions, NightWatch, etc., and went "Wow, what a cool idea!"

Where's the Anla'shok when we need them?
