Abby Justa Colon Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Keep in mind that the entire civilized world will be selling our markets. The rolling distribution will continue, until one day, it just collapses. Your right on again Doc! My thinking was flawed last night as I thought the markets would tank right away with a Shrub victory. But now I understand it..... Shrubco needs a day or so to celebrate and has to have the markets on his side, right???...........whats a few more days of jamming gonna hurt?? One thing that puzzles me though.... The record number of new voters....they like what Bush has done so far and just had to re-elect him??? It just doesn't add up. Good Luck.... I'm going to be looking for a top to develop in the next few sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirac Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm overwhelmed with shock and disgust. The fact that it was even close has just destroyed what little remained of my faith in my fellow humans. Glad I don't have kids. I have no doubt that it was rigged, but the fact that more than more than 1 whacko in 10 voted for this joke of a man is beyond my comprehension. Going to go try to settle down. Word...and going to try and get my head clear with gobs of caffiene as I stayed up till 2 AM last night-pissed off and drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Extinguish the thousand points of light, battle is best done under the cover of darkness. Welcome to the New World Order. Quite right. The 'authorities' are cold and calculating in executing their plans. It's only proper that we do the same in executing ours ... MH: Just ignore that dark late model sedan lurking outside your window monitoring every keystroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Experts are stupid effs. Dec.'04 US DOLLAR INDEX 84.87 -0.70 America has voted. Now the world gets to vote ... via the dollar. This selloff is highly significant ... and will become even more significant if it continues through the week and breaks the 2004 lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not lower myself to doing anything immoral, unethical, or illegal. I would take the Canada route to live in peace instead of that. The facts on the ground don't point to that decision......yet. There will be a better understanding in four years. I just hope we last until then. Since we do live in a global economy, maybe our foreign bankers will check any truely stupid moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 The US is a nation of cave dwelling religious zealots and mystics. I just wonder how many years it will be before the US pushes the world into a real war that will effect just about everyone on the planet. Christianity versus Islam. And Religion they all tell us is supposed to enrich our lives. PS. What odds do you give Russia partnering up with the Islamic states in response to continued and growing US power in the world? Over the next 15 years I'd give it about a 20% chance, up from 10% 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drano Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 cacooning to avoid being killed by terrorists and getting fatter by the day. That's so funny. I wonder when the reality will hit them that they live in Des Moines and not North Belfast or the Gaza strip. It must be about a million times more likely for them to get shot by a neighbour who's jealous that they're driving a new ostentatious/vulgar car. Here is CNN's current state-by-state map: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president/ I see that Minnesota (with a huge turnout of young and old people that I saw myself), Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois, are in blue.

lucid and confused Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I really want to get out, but my wife refuses to spend the winter back in Canada. For those of you in foreign outposts like Canada, New York, and California, in order to understand this country, you need to take a ride on the back roads of central and north Florida, or Indiana, or Kansas. There's an ocean of inbred stupidity and xenophobia out there. The 11 states voting to outlaw gay marriage is one thing, but they also voted to deny legal recognition to OPPOSITE SEX civil unions. The US is a nation of cave dwelling religious zealots and mystics. Clearly the theory of evolution is wrong. This proves it. OK Doc I think what youv'e said is endemic of a larger problem and a larger divide between rural american and the metropolitan metrosexual, heres a response from dozer last night concerning why high density areas lean left and rural areas more to the right.... The much-talked about "divide" IS very much an urban / rural chasm. Rural society has been decimated by the policies and laws of (mainly dem) urbanites; with the city crowds able to outvote the sparse out-areas every single time. This creates the dem/rep = urban/rural split. The feeling around here is that urban folks couldn't care less about rural people, or the damage done. It's been going on so long now, there's a pretty deep anger at city folk built up. Heck, even here on the normally-respectful stool, I saw a post like "don't worry about a few drunks from Hicksville". "Hicksville"....as if rural folks weren't even worth considering, not even of the same genetic stock with the same IQ, perceptivity, etc. as urbans. Great way to make friends and influence voters, eh? That's the divide in this country. It's real plain on the county maps...was very evident in 2000 too. The media, for their own reasons, always hold up the "bible thumper" aspect as the reason for the divide; but that's really only a small part of it...a result more than a cause. A bigger part is land and property rights infringements...and now threatening such life-basic things like water rights. Lots of other issues....infringement of guaranteed liberties...firearms of course...destruction of resource jobs, "free" trade-agreements decimating rural manufacturing while paper-pusher city gigs skyrocket and pay 100k/yr w/bloated pensions/bennies, etc., etc.. Run the demographics for 'liberal' and 'conservative' against a county map....it'll correlate almost perfectly with urban / rural. I've met very few in this area who actually lapprove of the war....they're just deathly afraid of even deeper destruction of their livelihoods and communities if they ever voted dem. Heck Lucid, they're just as much in fear for their future as we here are. Every bit so. But as long as urban dems paint them as retarded religious-freak monsters, and carry that subconcious attitude, I can't see how this society will ever heal. There's got to be -mutual- respect to breach that divide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's got to be -mutual- respect to breach that divide. That's the issue in Canada as well, and one that I frankly don't see getting resolved. Like grasshoppers that mutate into locusts when their density per sq. foot reaches a certain level, human population density is the trigger. Then again, I've been a city dweller all my life and have always been welcomed by rural folks in their space and welcomed them into mine. Maybe there's still hope.

KeyboardProspector Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Drano, Today, I too am proud to be a native of the socialist republik of Minnesota..... It looks like we again can claim the prize of having the highest voter participation rate in the country. (in 2000 we had a 69% rate, highest by 4%. turn out increased by 13.5% in this election) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
