Communist or terrorist can interchangeably be used these days when referring to anyone who disagrees with the US Government LOL. Ah fuck so I guess I'm a communist...damn here I was just thinking I had a different opinion.

Julian sadly the below quote was not a joke, and also helps answer why many people on this list are still lurkers. There's a lot of very uptight people on this list who seem to enjoy bashing eachother at any given chance.

  Actually, I believe that today the term for someone that doesn't agree with the US government is a "terrorist". :)

just curious - is it still common to label anyone who disagrees with the US
Government as "communists"? Or was this a joke...?

  Whey the h at ll would someone lurk on the Powderworks
list for years and not post anything suddenly decide
that some stupid political rant or tantrum WAS an
appropriate thing to post to the list?!?

That makes no sense to me at all.  I can understand
why the usual communists come out of the woodwork and
complain about the election.

I think it is more appropriate to post regarding
SPECIFIC issues that the Oils are "about" rather than
some broad political message.  Somethink like
anti-nuke or anti-war makes more sense than this side
or that side won.  The senate and congress in the US
have way more power in swaying policy in the US than
the President.
