120. For me, it was the current war in Iraq that was the straw

that broke my back.

The truth about no WMD was fairly obvious before the war started and so, people I had once considered friends, I now began to view as willfully ignorant.

This says as much about me as it does about them, I must admit. I have stopped speaking to several people because of the war; I just say to myself "there's not much point anymore".

Do I hate them? At the risk of sounding Clinton-esque, I guess it depends on the meaning of 'hate'. I would say more accurate words to describe my feeling for them now are "contempt" mixed with "indifference."
