I'm a social and economic liberal who believes in the essential goodness of people, the commonalty of human difficulties and the unique value of the individual. I believe that we should participate in our fates by being informed and by participating in the affairs of man, politics and nature. Like most persons, I have views and ideas about diverse aspects of the human dilemma. Like many persons, my views about things often evolve, develop and mature. Sometimes I change my opinions completely if I see that I'm wrong or ill-informed. My personal views about the second President George Bush, for example, have undergone considerable growth. When I first saw GW Bush, I didn't take him seriously he seemed to be a dull-witted but smug spoiled brat. He appeared to be nothing more than an over-financed fool, an oaf, a jerk, one of those comic buffoons, addicted to alcohol, dope and leisure who buys his way into politics to express a mammoth ego. I was mistaken to assume that Bush was harmlessly humorous. Upon reflection, it was apparent that Bush wasn't bumbling, he was vicious, a thief who stole an election and wanted to steal Arab oil. He was an amoral international criminal whose evil exploited the poor to benefit the poor. He might be funny looking, but there was nothing funny about his proclivity to destroy and punish. He was a warmonger, defiantly not a constructive individual, not a builder, but a destroyer. As my views of George Bush matured, I became convinced that he was more than simply maniacal and evil. He was a lunatic, as insane as Nixon (another Republican extremist). Bush wasn't just an obsessive-compulsive egomaniac, he was psychopathically aggressive, irrationally violent; a dangerous person. It soon became clear that George W. Bush was actually the enemy of the people. It was true class conflict, Bush against the people to use us as a vampire consumes its prey. After two years of enduring the Bush villainy, I started to think that there must be more to it. How could someone so foul have become President? There almost had to be some unrecognized element shaping and directing events. It occurred to me that Bush was a puppet of big-business, especially big oil. Like one of those murderous characters in the Puppet Master movies, Bush was an instrument of very wealth, but unseen hands. He was the willing instrument of the new-slavery, a figurehead dictator building an intrusive police-state for the modern-day corporate trusts. It's my view that, for the good of not just our county, but for the good of the world and the species, it would be prudent to deny George Bush a second term.
