Useless words

One of the things that has always puzzled me has to do with certain essentially meaningless words. For example, "I'm sorry." If someone gets drunk and drives across the center line, hits another car head on, kills all four occupants, father, mother, and two children, and then says "I'm sorry," what conceivable good does that do? What is the point? Does saying you're sorry make any conceivable difference? Does it give any satisfaction to the victims? Does it, in fact, give any satisfaction even to the guilty party? I don't think so. I think "I'm sorry" is a totally meaningless utterance.

Another meaningless claim, more appropriate for the moment, is "I accept all responsibility." Bush has announced that if anything went wrong with the Federal Government's handling of the New Orleans disaster, he accepts the responsibility. So? So what? What if he does claim to be responsible? What does that do for anyone? Does that bring anyone back to life that was killed as a result of his incompetence and negligence? Does it make the disaster any less of a disaster? For Bush to now claim he accepts responsibility means absolutely nothing. If he really accepted responsibility he would resign or commit suicide. Bush, I am sorry to have to say, has no idea whatsoever what responsibility entails. He has been irresponsible his entire life and has been forgiven and rescued by others every time. I seriously doubt that he knew he was responsible for anything until someone told him he should say so for Public Relations. Come on, let's face the truth. George W. Bush is the most shallow, dimwitted, uninterested, ill-informed, lazy, basically useless person ever to have become President of the United States. And that is precisely how he became President. Our Corporate masters and the Republican Party decided he was exactly what they needed to further their illicit agenda. A figurehead that could be told to do and say whatever they wanted to further their plans to take over the world and all the wealth in it. He might as well bay at the moon as claim responsibility.

And speaking of irresponsibility, can there be any more irresponsible agency than the House of Representatives? Only they can start impeachment proceedings and such proceedings are long overdue. If ever there were individuals that should be impeached it would have to be (hands down) Bush and Cheney. But as there are apparently no honorable Representatives (either Republican or Democratic) they will not begin this obviously necessary step. For all intents and purposes American Democracy no longer exists. This is because of greed, the lust for power and money, the placing of personal and party gain above public responsibility. In the case of Democrats it is abandoning party for personal gain. We now have a full-blown one party system in which the Corporate elite dictate what should and will happen. Fascism is what happens when government and corporations join forces, just as Mussolini told us so many years ago.

I guess as long as there are no gay marriages and there is still hope of overturning Roe vs Wade we have nothing to worry about. Goodnight dimwits everywhere.
