What difference does it make? The prisoners at Guantanamo will just rot another five and Roberto "whatever we want to do is legal" Gonzales will do nothing to bring them to trial. <BR/><BR/>But $3 gas. and flag burning.

All the 'wake-up' in the world won't matter if we dream our way through it... watching TV sports and reality shows, eating, drinking and imagining it's all okay.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148485566444804108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194369.post-1150329463732292322006-06-14T16:57:00.000-07:002006-06-14T16:57:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.HelenWheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709287737262543974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194369.post-1150297942791422052006-06-14T08:12:00.000-07:002006-06-14T08:12:00.000-07:00I agree, FLS, but I must admit that in 2000, as na...I agree, FLS, but I must admit that in 2000, as nauseated as I was by the selection results, even my wild imagination did not dream up the reality that has been shoved up our collective hoo-hoos.<BR/><BR/>Me, too, JM - what the hell is going on with these people?

I keep telling myself that this is unfounded cynicism, but with each new event that points out just how broken and corrupted the process of government has become, I keep listening for the cries of outrage and hearing silence. I keep telling myself that the next election will be different, but the recent revelations suggesting the very integrity of the electoral process has been compromised, and the recent results of the special election to fill Duke Cunningham's seat leave me very scared.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532398934926136386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194369.post-1150268387701683732006-06-13T23:59:00.000-07:002006-06-13T23:59:00.000-07:00Yes - exactly. 2 1/2 more years - imagine the des...Yes - exactly. 2 1/2 more years - imagine the destruction. I do. I imagine it all the time. I get nightmares imagining it. I imagine war with Iran, Syria, Korea and - god forbid - China. I imagine America strip-mined to her bedrock, polluted beyond belief and economically devastated to the point no one who isn't a multi-millionaire can live here. I have a very active imagination, thank you; though I really wish I didn’t!TFLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532885255909756360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194369.post-1150253853835734092006-06-13T19:57:00.000-07:002006-06-13T19:57:00.000-07:00The right tells a story very effectivly.

We've been attacked, and it will happen again at any second now; illegal immigrants are sneaking across your borders, stealing your fair share; and the Godless Left won't take care of you, because they are Godless Pacifists.<BR/><BR/>We're imprisoned in this because the first part of the story paralyzes people: we are going to be attacked again. This is why I firmly believe Bushco KNEW the attacks were going to happen exactly as they did.<BR/><BR/>We're all afraid of this administration.DivaJoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534571327558009753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194369.post-1150252590666652382006-06-13T19:36:00.000-07:002006-06-13T19:36:00.000-07:00I don't either, OWL.
