October 27, 2001 Well, in the spirit of patriotism, I tried to like George W. Bush. Or at least keep quiet about how BAD I believe he is for our country. Can't do it anymore. I won't get too political on you. I'll just post a few links, and you can check them out if you're interested in the source of my discontent. I'm worried; I'm depressed; okay, I'm scared. We had a chance for real, positive change for our country here, and I'm afraid we've blown it, giving Baby Bush and his handlers free reign with our country and our freedoms... |
Why Are We So Hated? Looking Beyond Osama bin Laden by William O. Beeman, Pacific News Service September 12, 2001 "...The State Department has theorized that if the people of a rogue nation experience enough suffering, they will overthrow their rulers, or compel them to adopt more sensible behavior.

I've been going to Michael Moore's site a lot. I think he said it best on Sept. 15, 2001: "...I feel I have a responsibility as one of those Americans who doesn't feel good right now to speak out and say what needs to be said: That we, the United States of America, are culpable in committing so many acts of terror and bloodshed that we had better get a clue about the culture of violence in which we have been active participants. I know it's a hard thing to hear right now, but if I and others don't say it, I fear we will soon be in a war that will do NOTHING to protect us from the next terrorist attack." -- from Mike's letter of 9/15/2001 |
