I am really starting to wonder if many in the conservative party are taking heavy meds…. – they all seem too “affected”

Chomsky: You have to remember that stability is a cold code word. Stability doesn’t mean stability; it means obedience to US domination. So let’s go back to Kissinger again. He was the primary agent in, among other things, undermining the democratic regime in Chile. He later commented that “The US had to destabilize Chile in order to establish stability.” If you understand the terminology, that is not a contradiction. It means the US had to undermine, through Kissinger initiative, the parliamentary government in order to institute an obedient dictatorship and that is what he means by stability. He doesn’t mean that things are calm and straightforward, he means they are under control. That of course it is inconsistent with democracy for the reasons I mentioned before. Just look at the studies of the public opinion.

lechacal, it does sound as if you have an allergy to that antibiotic you are taking.

I still feel kind of weird M4L. I’m pretty sure it’s the antibiotics that are making me feel this way. This is the first time I’ve taken antibiotics since I was 11 years old.
