Pre-emption

I absolutely despise our president. He is--and there is no word truly srong enough to accurately portray this--stupid. Pre-emptively attacking (people, nations, ideas) is wrong. Always. Even when it is socially justifiable. We have zero ability to predict the future, even a muppet knows that "Always in motion is the future." Even in the absense of "weapons of mass destruction" (which is a misnomer aimed at frightening people) most people think that ousting Sadam from power was still a good thing to do. But, really, was it? I certainly can't say. Was there really more killing and terror when he was in power? Maybe. Americans were certainly less threatened when he was there, though. Arguably, aside from Osama, the one person who has most increased the danger to our country and its citizens is G. W. Bush himself. If pre-emption is really in the best interest of this nation, then shouldn't the entire administration be removed from office. I feel quite certain that our founding fathers would think so.

But maybe not. Maybe the moron is right. Next time you think that your spouse may, at some unidentifyable point in the future, potentially cheat on you (warning signs include, but are not limited to: he/she has a penis/vagina, he/she enjoys sex, he/she is sometimes tired), you need to strike first. A good beating will certainly ensure that your husband/wife toes the line in the future. Kids are always causing problems. Stop waiting for the note from the teacher, or the detention, or the broken window, just go smack them around now. Then they'll know better. Did your neighbor just get a new dog? Don't wait for it to crap on your lawn to get angry, go take a shovel to that mutt right now. Break a leg and it'll know better than to even so much as look at that new tree you planted with a jealous eye. Did you find a notebook in which one of your students scribbled death threats and drew skulls and guns. Make sure to expell them, and maybe incarcerate them as well, because that will teach them that good members of society only think happy thoughts. Pre-emptive strikes: the only way to protect society from itself. <sarcasm>
