It seems to be more than crystal clear that EVERYBODY, who is against racism and this invasive, colonial war against Iraq should vote Kerry on 11/2. However, amazing that promoting anti-racism and anti-militarism on this board I became the number one enemy-"don't help Anna" is the most popular slogan here. Could ANYBODY explain me what is in heads of this web editors, and why they are trying so hard to make me the scapegoat for their more than strange activities at the points of anti-racism and anti-neo colonial wars? Vote Kerry on 11/2. if you want to avoid draft and the entire chain of new Bush administration neo colonial wars !!! |
