What if...

I posted this to my blog, with a (rather crappy, quickly assembled) photoshop image. I think this is an idea (or meme, for those who can tolerate that word) worth shoving into the media- and noospheres.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.charm.net/~profpan/2005/09/spread-this-meme.html">www.charm.net/~profpan/20...-meme.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>In short:<br><br>Just ask yourself, and others, this simple question:<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"What if Dick Cheney had been stuck in the New Orleans Superdome?"</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Without a shower, food, or water, for days? <br><br>Do you think the National Guard would have let Cheney walk over the bridge to comfort and safety?

Without the codes this time:<br><br>If so, why is Dick fucking Cheney any more valuable as a human being than any one of those suffering people who were deprived of basic human necessities? <p></p><i></i>

If Dick Cheney got stuck in a disaster a top search and rescue team would have been send over right away. The Green Berets or the Seals or the Secret Service wouldn't have hesitated for a second...<br><br>P.S.

I would have edited my post, but the option to edit was not showing up. I've often had problems with EZ board's clunky interface, especially in my Safari browser. There is no rhyme or reason to the "EZ" board glitches. <p></p><i></i>

I watched "Sin City" on DVD last night, and I preface my question with the caveat that maybe I am influenced too much by the movies I watch--<br>What would stop Dick Cheney from getting plastic surgery while he's in hospital, and just walking out undetected, and boarding a plane out of the country? They could find a doppelganger to die on the operating table, massive heart failure . . .<br>How would we ever know? <p></p><i></i>
