I would say it is more like the ultimite form of brainwashing, courtesy of the media. Every time the issue comes up there is sure to be some pundit blathering on about how you are “wasting your vote” if you vote for the third party candidate. They usually follow this up with poll numbers. They also go on about how even if the candidate does get elected he/she will be ineffective because no one in the two main partys will cooperate with them. All in all the media puts on a very effective dog and pony show and it is not surprising why it is so hard for any third party candidates to get elected in the U.S.

Judge: I’m afaid I will have to give you an additional 30 days in jail to you, my son.
RIAA lawyer: Your honor, what have I done?

Judge: Tell me son, is it true that RIAA sends threatening extorsion leters to alleged downloaders who are also RIAA customer?
RIAA Lawyer: Your honor, my customer sends imformative letters to proven thieves who illegally download songs.
Judge: Are you calling the customers thieves.
RIAA lawyer: Sir, anyone who copies anything without the owner’s permission is a thief. RIAA only sends letter to proven thieves.
Judge: Son, I am going to have to send you to jail, for 30 days.
RIAA lawyer: Your honor, what have I done?
Judge: You have just called me a thief.

Remember that a few days ago you filed a motion requesting
a gag order so no one would talk to the press. You remember that the motion had a copy of a newspaper article?

You have called me a thief. Just this morning I told my assitant to copy all the news story

Monsanto has a good point.
Why should anyone see their roses for free?
Why not optimize and invest,ments income if you can?

In today’s world everything costs money, even the surgery that will leave you dead (that is why the surgeon’s and hospital’s payments are in advance).

Top rose grower George Michael has just signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Monsanto corporation, who will help him promote & distribute his newest roses this Spring…

To view the new roses, a special pair of glasses are required, or they appear blurred & indistinct.

Following a recent decline in sales, Monsanto will require that before the glasses work, a session key will have to be downloaded from their website, which will unlock the glasses long enough to let the wearer enjoy the rose-viewing event for three-&-a-half minutes.

Extra minutes can be purchased online, or paid for by sms text message.

A spokesman for Monsanto earlier today said “George & ourselves have designed these roses, & we’re bloody well going to be damned if we’re going to let some bunch of kids on the internet encourage people to enjoy them while depriving us of the money we need to buy more fuel for our motorboats.”

George Michael fans have yet to react to news of this latest deal.

Pat,

The world has its eyes on you, but don’t be nervous. Before you walk in there just remember one thought - you have everyone on your side, even God hates the RIAA. You will not go out of pocket, I for one will pledge up to 100 bucks into your defence fund as, when, and if needed, and like thousands of others will be watching the case closely. But frankly I think you’ll win this one. I hope you get to really rub the bastards noses in it. Once they start to crumble show no mercy, put the boot in and enjoy yourself. Also remember there are 16,999 people less brave than you are. Good luck.

I too, would not take issue with Rafael Venegas’ postings. He does well and before one critizes his usage, prehaps trying it in a language foreign to your own may well demostrate just how well he does do.

I have no problems with understanding just where he comes from while putting together his own thoughts into text, in a language not his native tounge. I wish I could do as well in another language.

He also brings many points that are missed by others here at the site. I have nothing but respect for Rafael Venegas with his attempts to right a wrong done to him and his family through the cartels.

Best of luck, RV.

That’s a pretty good piece of work you came up with there. I would like to post it on another website. Do I attribute it to the author “RV”?

It would be my best guess that Rafaels first language is
NOT english.

So What ?

I understood the point he was trying to make EXACTLY, regardless
of any grammatical error, or misuse of terminology.

The universe does not rotate around American English.

I was a Loki victim, and I said b4, I’ll donate if Jon is running a fund. Lets help the woman, she is fighting for ALL of us, not just herself!.
Jon (imho) is a man of integrity, and I’d rather trust him with a fund that could equal many thousands of dollars, than any bloody Shark-oops-Lawyer.

Did you hear about the Rose Industry Association of America?

A recent study has indicated that amateur gardeners are are now propagating roses by using plant cuttings from existing plants and not buying plants from commercial producers. This is the result of the propagation of web plant-cuttings to plant (P2P) sites that show gardeners how to grow rose plants from cuttings, a piracy that is costing RIAA members loses in sales of several billion dollars per year. Because of severe P2P theft, sales of roses have dropped 10 percent since a year ago, claims RIAA spokesperson Vito Hoover.

RIAA has announced that it will work with the Justice Department to eliminate all P2P sites. RIAA clams that that too many Americans, instead of buying all the needed rose plants at the nursery or in stores are simply using cuttings from a purchased plants. As a result one plant is sold and the buyer of that single plants winds up with many copies of the plant. Some people are even sharing their plants, allowing others to take cutting from original plants to produce fake copies of RIAA roses. The copying of roses infrings the rights of RIAA members to be the only growers of roses.

RIAA has aked the Departments of Agriculture and Justice to intervene. As a result Rose growers are now packing roses with an FBI warning that growing rose plant from cuttings is illegal and could lead to criminal charges.

TheJustice Department has published a policy guideline indicating that rose P2P will be treated as a new crime category: Rose piracy. President Bush has indicated he supports this initiative to wipe out rose piracy here and abroad as part of his anti terrorism campaign.

Mr. Hoover also announced that Congress is working on a RIAA supported bill to authorize FBI agenst to, without a court order, inspect rose gardens and request proof-of-purchase recepts from the gardener. If the gardener fails to prove he/she purchased all the rose plants in the garden, a summary arrest can be made and sentenses of up to 10 years in jail may be seeked.

When asked about what protection is being given to other plants to prevent their infringement, Mr. Hoover said that the RIAA is only concerned about roses.

What nees to be done is something that people are not willing to do. People in the P.S.A. are not willing to look at candidates from political parties other than the Democrat-republican Party. People keep complaining about the state of the government in America, yet they refuse to invest a little bit of time into researching ALL political candidates for each race they are voting in. I would say that most Americans who are aware that alternative political parties exists yet do not pay attention to them DESERVE to live in a police state.

These people who continue to vote for the lessor of two evils deserve to be screwed by the politicians they continue to elect to office. Every election day, I go to the polls and vote for a positive change. I do this by not looking at the candidates political party, his or her advertising campaigns, nor what they SAY, but rather I go by what they have DONE. I still wonder why many of my fellow American voters remain stupid enough to do the same thing over and over yet expect different results. To me, this is the utlimately form of stupidity.
