TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Standoff at Honduran protest; govt suspends rights

QuoteTEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – The coup-installed government in Honduras took increasingly desperate measures to hold onto power Monday, suspending civil liberties, silencing dissident broadcasters and facing off with hundreds of protesters in the street.

The interim government of Roberto Micheletti, who took office after a June 28 coup, banned a march in support of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and ringed the protesters with riot police.

Pfft, that's a smelly third world country. Civil liberties are sacred in America, they would never be subject to that kind of abuse.
Is it plugged in?

Yes, these sorts of things are exclusive to countries that are 30' across and make shoes for us.

This has been brewing for a while, if I don't miss my guess.  I heard a podcast on this last week.  It's really fucking sad.

The Honduran junta has a lot of sympathizers in places like the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.  Apparently, they had to suspend freedom to defend it.
