True. The Netherlands is filled with Microsoft whores and old judges that have no clue whatsoever about computers and internet.

Microsoft has succesfully infiltrated our schools and government to be Microsoft locked-in.

Novell is the only company in the Netherlands trying to lessen Microsoft market share, but is losing ground at the moment.

--- Quote from: Death4Bush ---Bush deserves and should receive the death penalty, after the appropriate legal or quasi-legal formalities

What kind of nutjob are you?  You are asking the world to support the execution of a man with no trial?  That's insane!  Perhaps he does deserve the death penalty.  Perhaps he doesn't.  Regardless of what you or I believe, it isn't up to us to decide.  The death penalty is a very serious matter, and in the US, it is decided by a judge and jury.  We aren't Old West posses, out for a hangin'.  Law and order must be maintained, unless there is revolutionary action.

Calling for assassination (which is what peacetime death penalty without trial amounts to) is not a good way to make friends or get elected to office.

I think the death penalty should have no place in any modern civilized country.

--- Quote from: Refalm ---Well David, I believe the way you critisize Bill Gates and George Bush isn't working out at all.

On your website, you have a picture of Bush photoshopped with a swatsika and the famous Bill Gates picture.
Now let's presume that I should live in the US, in Seattle, and I was searching on the Internet for candidate websites.
Even if I agreed with your ideas, I still would find your website to be immature and chaotic.

Really, one stupid picture can ruin it. There are also too many animated stuff to distract my attention and which are very annoying.

Your articles are great, but you're lowering yourself to radicalism. I believe you're shooting yourself in the foot.

That's a gray area. I agree with you to a point. That is, I'm well aware that my ideas and means of expressing them appear "radical" to many people. But let's define radical.

In common usage, I believe it has two meanings:

1) Weird or bizarre.

2) Anything outside the norm.

It's certainly not my intent to appear weird or bizarre. On the contrary, I go out of my way to embrace logic and ethics. But consider the second definition. Imagine an indvidual who preaches brotherly love and world peace. Would he be considered radical?

If he lived in Nazi Germany, the answer would be YES, because peace and goodwill were not the norm in Adolph Hitler's Germany.

I find myself in a simliar predicament. There's nothing more stupid than the average U.S. citizen, whose brain has been pulverized by a lifetime of the most sophisticated propaganda in world history, sensory overload (video games, a complex society, etc.) and terminal apathy.

I'm fascinated by the "socialism" - in the broadest sense of the word. But if I inserted the word "socialism" in a campaign statement, I'd instantly be branded a radical, even here in  liberal Seattle. The problem is that Americans have been brainwashed into believing that socialism is - well, radical. They've been brainwashed into believing that anyone who wants to hold corrupt corporations (e.g. Microsoft) accountable is a socialist - in the strictest sense of the word.

In summary, I really don't know how to communicate to the sheeple, and I don't apologize for not knowing how. If you know of anyone who's doing a better job, please let me know.

But I'm certainly not going to practice business as usual and talk about the usual one or two insipid issues while kissing babies and praising voters for their intelligence when they're really dumber than ashtrays.

In some respects, I run futuristic campaigns. My statements may appear radical now, but I think they'll sound more sensible as more and more people get screwed by corporate America. I also know that things will never change until the general public changes its attitude. Voting as usual will only continue business as usual.

Well, you just flunked Comprehension 101. Where on my website does it saying "without a trial"? And where did you find the word "assassinate"? For crying out loud, use some common sense: If I was calling for Bush's assassination, I'd be posting this message from prison.

To put it in perspective, consider the THOUSANDS (if not millions) of people who are calling George Bush's impeachment. Do you think they're asking a group of vigilantes to just kick Bush out of the White Hosue without a trial? Of course not!

They're simply stating their belief that Bush has committed crimes worthy of impeachment, and they're encouraging lawmakers to initiate the legal proceedings.

Ditto for Death4Bush. It's my belief that Bush's crimes deserve the harshest punishment the law can mete out. I think Bush should be legally prosecuted and sentenced, and I think that any sane and non-partisan jury would find him guilty on many counts.

But my Death4Bush campaign is about more than punishing Bush. It's also about freedom of speech.

I'm SO sick of hearing cowardly liberals whimper at the feet of right-wing bullies, afraid to say anythying the latter deem hostile, unhinged, un-American or unpatriotic.

I issued my statement partly because I knew it would be extremely provocative. In a sense, it was a dare. In effect, I said, "I believe George W. Bush deserves to be LEGALLY executed for his crimes, and I'm not afraid to sign my name to it. Better yet, I'm running for office and making it a campaign issue. You right-wingers who are so good at tyrannizing liberal pussies are welcome to turn your guns on me. Report me to the Secret Service, assassinate me, burn my home donw. You know where I live, so either put or or shut up."

Although I did received a few death threats, no one visited my home. In fact NO MEDIA even mentioned my Death4Bush campaign, including liberal and alternative media and the local, Seattle media.

That further confirms the extraordinary media corruption, which is obviously not limited to the traditional corporate media. Thus, I'd say I accomplished quite a bit with my Death4Bush statement, even if I never got elected.
