It is beyond my comprehension how the American people just go on from day to day to day without going completely nuts!! Our media debates the finer points of the war on terror and Bush's taking away our civil liberties and saying he won't enforce certain laws (700 +) through his "signing statements". They discuss whether or not torture laws should be "clarified".
What the hell difference does it make if the Chimp doesn't obey laws if he doesn't want to follow them?
There is nothing to debate. Nothing to discuss.
We are conducting an immoral and stupid war in Iraq, destroying innocent lives and taking resources away from our country while doing nothing to improve the lives of the Iraqis.
My head hurts when I think about how stupid so many people are................. There is a lady in my town who told me about the time we invaded Iraq that she is glad "we are fighting them over there so we won't have to fight them here." I asked her if she seriously believed the Iraqi army was on the verge of coming down the highway and taking our town. She said maybe not but she wouldn't have been surprised if they had invaded Little Rock. I am not joshing, she was actually talking Iraqi army units -- not Al Quaeda or shoe bombers or anything of that sort -- rolling in and taking over.
Just an illustration of how the Bush boys made their case. If enough people are as stupid as this woman, and there seems to be a critical mass, they could sell anything. After all, they had half of our citizens believing Saddam was flying one the planes that hit the WTC on 9/11.
Another related observation. If maintaining control depends on hoodwinking the people into believing your bullshit, the folks in control (Bush boys) don't have any reason to support educating our people. Reading and writing are important, but teaching kids how to think and discern and not be scared of science and reason is just as important.
My head hurts..............got to go.........
Later.
