I was sure that I had finally found A group that I could trust To be the largest of its kind around Infectious to a fault and thus When I would the dictionary open And look to the word ‘conspiracy’ I would in the meaning see them Listed as definition for me For they had invented Amway And the Obama craze as well They had turned the world against Hillary And sent McCain to Arizona They had timed the release of hula hoops And recalled toys with leaden paints They killed the bees in chicken coops And elected the last seven saints They put seat belts in foreign cars Before the foreigners knew they did And even put them in stools in bars And so they banned our kids Deciding twenty-one made far more sense Than eighteen for certainly sure And though this could make once wince Sent them off so sober to fight the war They divided our country in to colors red and blue But refused to do away with politicians of any kind So regardless of flag or standing or hue They tell us we’re making progress as we get left behind They've raised the price of gasoline Seems like every day For their true profits are really lean Since they euro not; in dollars they do play They did away with Ireland a hundred years ago With a large land eraser, you see (Scotland’s the next to go) But who really cares—its way across the sea They gave us the Bill and Al show ‘Til its contract did run out So George filled in with re-runs, though They never liked his clout So, I went to the dictionary On dictionary dot com And there found in its pictionary This conspiratorial atom bomb They are now into earthquake sensoring Measuring the smalls ones first And into those who’ll listen, convincing The really big one would never dare be the worst |

Though I don't know what Jaime's challenge was I can imagine. This is an impressive write, Steaphen, and it holds no doubt many truths. Love, Margherita |

I found now Jaime's challenge write and understand the take on conspiracy ... when a government uses its censoring power, people will never know the truth, but eventually invent their own truths, which probably due to great intuition come very close to the truth! Love, Margherita  |

Dear Margherita, The U. S. Government has no censoring powers when it comes to political figures or political events. That's one of the things that set us apart from the rest of the world. They can be slandered, and lied about to the peoples hearts content. That applies to political figures only. Don't try slandering the private citizen; you'll get slammed with a law suit. BTW, President Bush is a pig with a very runny snout. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (05-11-2008 08:47 PM).] |
