Freedom Fest June 23, 2005
Frank Ray Davis' humor column
Frank Ray Davis' freedomfest is found regularly on DemocracyMeansYou.com.
SHOW, DON'T TELL: Dubya Bush tried to push his peculiar brand of mouth democracy on Latin America. He wanted his long-faithful stooge, the Organization of American States, to intervene in nations where "democracy" is "menaced". I.e, where the people don't buy Bush's democracy of the mouth.
Democracy truly can touch the hearts of people, but not by being shoved down their throats.

CONFUSION FROM ON HIGH: I don't get it. There's a god of Peace and Love who I've been singing Cristmas carols to since I was a little kid. Then there's a hateful god of death and destruction who tells nice patriots like Dubya Bush to bomb those heathen Iraqis loose from their oil wells. Does this mean there are TWO gods? Or that God has a dual personality? OR, did Dubya get his wires crossed so he really talked to Satan rather than Jehovah?

BUT WHO SAYS WHERE? "There's a limit to Liberty!" says Mexico's First Lady. Two prominent world leaders who'd promptly with you, Marta, are Dubya Bush and Adolf Hitler.

CHARITY'S A VIRTUE--SO WHAT? The Europeans give twice as much of their national incomes to help the very poor nations of the world as USA does. That figures. Nobody knows better than Dubya that it's more profitable to help the greedy than the needy.
COMPATRIOT BEN TO COMPASSIONATE GEORGEAn ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.
A pound of cure
is worth a ton of compassion--
'specially millionaire-oilman fashion.
SPARE US THIS! A hundred thousand humans killed in Iraq doesn't faze Dubya. But it bothers him intensely that Korean Doctor Wo is experimenting with ADN mother cells to save lives; might somehow lead to cloning humans. He's got something there. Who'd want to see Dubya cloned!

SAVE $s FOR BOMBS: Texas ranks a dismal 49th in money spent on public mental-health programs. Could this be why Texas Bushes and Delays act so nutty?
+ + +
37'S AN UNLUCKY NUMBER: Media propaganda would have us believe that the USA has the best health care system in the world. The best big money can buy, maybe, but 37th in the World Health Organization's objective statistics. How'd you like the horse you bet on coming in 37th?

"SERVICE" PUSHED TO THE LIMITS: "Edecanes" are the good-looking chicks who serve as sales stimulators at the booths of trade fairs. Or so we thought till they broke out in scandal in Mexican newspaper headlines. Seems the girls' recruiting agencies had moved them up to social hostesses and then to sex-servers. As the wages moved up, so did the requirements, for the clientele are well-heeled, high-powered executives. So the girls must be bilingual and with some university credits, or better still, a degree. I tell you now, when a girl has to flash a diploma to make it as a whore, things is getting tough all over.

NOTABLE QUOTABLES: There's something more important than greed. It's the wellbeing of our families, old folks, and incapacitated people. Helping people is what our country must represent.---Unionist Margaret Blackshere Environmental rascism is genocide.--Environmentalist Hazel Johnson
