Are we in an Alternate Reality?
The last three years have been a nightmare. Jobs have gone overseas and have disappeared all together. We have made the single biggest foreign policy mistake in our history. The biggest security failure since 1865. And a dumb president that has been well-liked. Bizzarro world.

2. Yes
And it's sad so few of us see it. It seems like most people are clueless about what's going on. It's sad really. :(

5. Hey you thought criminals report to room 101
War is Peace - Freedom is Slavery - Ignorance is Strength
Your unorthodox and subversive thoughts are being monitored.
We are deep down the rabbit hole and it sucks.

3. Sometimes I make myself nuts
trying to find the one, perfect way to wake the country up to this nightmare but the only thing that keeps coming up is that phrase fro The Sounds of Silence

...and the people bowed and prayed
...to the neon god they'd made...


Just can't get them away from the alter......

7. I often have that feeling
especially over the past year, sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in some sort of bizzare nightmare. It's had the effect of plunging me into a major depressive episode, that began as soon as the bombs started dropping on Baghdad.

This is the scariest, creepiest period in this country's history that I've ever seen. I wish the nightmare would end.:-(
