I wonder if Bush OR Gore can locate

attorneys, paralegals and seeing eye

Hi all,
I'm back from the largest non-violent
protest there's ever been. At least that's
my take on it. The military and the police,
and the military police tried their damndest
to get a violent response out of us knowing
that interspersed with our group were many
members of Black Bloc (if I had to guess I'd
say 3 - 400 of us out there.) They remained
nonviolent (but NOT WIMPY by ANY stretch) the
entire time no matter what, just like most of
them had consensed.
Things were very scarey from the moment MP's
started confiscating cameras. There was a point
half way up our procession where they'd drawn
a line and said no press could pass. That was
scarey because we had perhaps 1000 people lined
up 8 or 9 by a hundred or so, past that line, and
the rest of us were behind it.
Things just got worse after that. You can read
about the police brutality and everything at:
http://atlanta.indymedia.org but I'll also point
you to one particular story that pertains more to
cyberspace human rights issues, since that's mostly
the only thing everyone in this list have in common,
eh?

Poetic Justice (or how the empire adopted
the political system of the "banana republics".)
by Carlos Rafael Soto
It is usually called, "Poetic justice". In Spanish, "Justicia
Divina", divine justice. I am watching the perplexed faces of the
English speaking CNN analysts and I ask myself: ¿how could John Kennedy
imagine that, when applying the most inhumane blockade that no Nation in
the world has ever endured, the only thing he was going to accomplish was
to strengthened the spirit of Cuba and cause the emigration of all those
who for many years had lived thanks to corruption and to political fraud?
John Kennedy opened the doors of his country to the followers of
Batista, and what he planted, now the United States is harvesting. The
greatest show on earth, designed to elect "the leader of the free world"
has ended up in a shameful and ludicrous fiasco. As in any banana
republic, now in the United States people talk of fraud in some Florida
counties, of electronic manipulation to cheat thousands of retirees that,
everyone knew, were going to vote for Gore, and of the need for a vote
recount to determine the winner of the Presidency. And in the heat of
the discussions numbers are brought up that one is used to hearing in the
Guatemala of the military rulers, in El Salvador, or, more recently, in
Peru of Fujimori and Montesinos. In Miami (It had to be there!) in
elections previous to the one of the Tuesday recently past 17 thousand
deceased persons and more than 50 thousand convicts that, of course, do
not have the right to vote, took part.
The millions of dollars that Gore and Bush spent were not enough.
Neither the respect for the unwritten rule according to which, to
seriously seek the Presidency of the greatest democracy (?) in the world,
three unavoidable requirements must be met: to be white, to be
Anglo-Saxon and to be protestant (Kennedy was the only catholic who won
the Presidency and everybody knows what happened to him.)
The spectacle, frankly, makes you laugh. Not because of the
Northamerican people , who are angry and in disbelief, but at their
leaders. It is like that story in which no one dared to say that the
king was naked. The situation can not be more scandalous; however, the
illustrious and outstanding men of the OAS remain silent with the
greatest prudence. No one has dared to suggest sending a mission of
observers to the United States, to investigate if there was fraud. No
one has spoken of a mediation to see if Gore and Bush could accept that
the elections in Florida be repeated or, in the best Peruvian style,
adopt the idea of calling for new elections within six months in which
neither Bush nor Gore could participate (even though, according to what
is being said, the dirty business was done by Bush's people, in a state
politically dominated by Cuban exiles and governed, this is funny, by his
youngest brother Jeb). Why Gaviria does not talk? Why the OAS has not
been called to an emergency meeting to study the political and electoral
situation of one of its member countries, in this case the United States?
Poetic Justice. Divine Justice, without a doubt. Forty years of
blockade to an heroic people and, as a result, to suffer the cancer of
the corruption that Cuba used to suffer before her Revolution. Divine
Justice. Poetic Justice. Indeed!
Perhaps (talvez) we'll end with a parody.
To the tune of "She's Not There."
Made famous by almost everyone.
Well no one told me elections
Were rigged like this
My poli sci professor warned me
Now I'm really pissed
Well it's too late to ask for justice
How did I vote
Why should I care
Well please don't bother trying for fairness
She's not there.
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
Our Lady Justice
The statue with her hair
I saw a scale there
We asked for balance
But she's not there
