- 1. Bush is respnsible for the actions of looters because he
- has not addressed the issues of inner city strife. While I
- am not defending the looters which carted off TVs and stuff,
- the majority of looters looted clothing and food, items which
- they already would have had if Bush had passed some decent inner
- city legislation to revitalize these areas. Bush sees inner city
- minorities as insignificant, they cannot do anything for him and
- a large part of the inner city does not vote. Find an oil well in
- Compton and I bet you'll get his attention. It's just an empirical
- example of social neglect leading to revolution.
-
- 2. Bush is responsible for the private sexual activities of
- individuals by his (and the Right and the Church) stance on
- AIDS as a homosexual (therefore "immoral") disease. By not
- providing adequate funding for AIDS research and by treating
- homosexuals as criminals, Bush is trying to convey the message
- that "this is what you get for being a freak". This is the same
- concept as spending billions of dollars nuking the jungles of
- South America rather than funding the rehabilitation of current
- addicts. Bush is cruel; he refuses to look beyond classifications
- at the human side of things. People are "addicts", or "homos". Who
- cares where it started? The fact is, AIDS is being spread by
- all segments of the populace, gay and straight, and now is not
- the time to try to inflict some moral lesson upon us.
-
- 3. Tax and spend? Yes, but at least Clinton would admit to it, and
- if a democrat were to pursue a tax and spend policy at least
- the money would be flowing into social programs to benefit the
- population instead of going to foreign "defense" programs that
- none of us would ever feel any benefit from. I hardly think that
- dropping bombs on a country the size of Rhode Island halfway
- around the world is considered "defense". Let me hammer your
- skull in, cause maybe one day you might have a child, who might
- want a dog, who might get into my yard, and who might eat my
- petunias. This is how "defense" works.
