effect as the "war on drugs":
World Terror Attacks Tripled in 2004 by U.S. Count
dcdan: now if i could only get laura bush, to get on TV in
a red dress and say "Just say no to terrorism"
j: I guess I misunderstood the definition of war:
war (n ): an increase in spending to address an issue that increases
the funding of the bureaucracy declaring the war that also increases
the prevalence of the issue war was declared on, while also pushing up
profits to be had on that issue by pushing more of the economy
surrounding that issue into a black market
dcdan: nice
j: I'd rather see Laura Bush in a blue dress with a
stain. rowr
j: ;-)
dcdan: don't you mean Jenna?
j: Just making the simplest rude reply to your comment
j: doesn't Laura look like a Stepford Wife?
dcdan: yes
j: seriously, they have to have done something to her
to get that permanently-happy-yet-deranged visage
dcdan: maybe what happened is that the war on drugs put
enough USians in jail and the war on terror is an attempt to think
locally, act globally
dcdan: christ soon I'm gonna be competing with an H1-B for
the chance to get locked up
