Turkeys


As some of you may be aware an American holiday widely known as "Thanksgiving" occurred recently. It consists of an annual systematic genocide of the countries turkey population and the use of other agricultural abundances during this season. Well, thanks to our brave democracy in the wonderful United States our leader, the President proudly looked past tradition and allowed two turkeys to live. Yes, President Bush in his kindness and loving nature Pardoned two turkeys before thanksgiving so they would not be condemned to the fate of the rest of their families. Hopefully no one saw that while they were sitting in prison.
Well, too bad - C.B.S. ran the story for two hours straight and just happens to be one of the only channels allowed in most prisons. I felt this was worth mentioning because a friend of mine missed his Thanksgiving dinner to watch this in Jail after getting arrested for violating a court order which outlawed the action of feeding people who live in trees to protest their logging.
Yes, searched and arrested for allegedly feeding people.
Almost a violation of the fourth amendment. Oh right, the fourth amendment was practically nullified in 2001 when the USA Patriot Act went through congress in a matter of hours.

Imagine how many people are being put in prison or killed right now for being "suspected terrorists" due to their ethnic background or anti-authoritarian behavior.
Democracy truly prevails and "the decider" wins again as these wonderful Turkeys survive another Thanksgiving and the death toll rises in the middle east.

Call your congressmen.
