Okay. It's Official. There's a War on
After watching the 60 minutes story on the hunger in Ohio (a microcosm of America) I am officially pissed off. I have known these things for years - the atrocities committed by this administration, but this is my personal breaking point. I can't take this shit any longer. No overreaction, but

I live in a strongly conservative area, and have tried to accomodate the Repukes, but I can't any longer. Beginning tomorrow, I am plastering crap all over my office and car and home that will either make them think or fall over dead from confusion (they can't think for themselves).

I am so pissed.

Sorry about the rant, but this is my personal end to trying to play nice with the fucks that are stealing not only the constitution, but our everyday ways of living.

Long live America!!!!! Land that I love!!!!
The one that existed before December of 2000

Kick some rethuglican ass, and send their names to Asscroft. Why play nice when they make up the rules as they go?

3. My Grandmother and other various relatives are in Indianapolis
a transplant, but loves it. I visit as often as possible, but don't live there now.

Cleveland rocks, though I'm not there now either!

4. What was the 60 minutes special about?
Could you give me a synopsis?

6. It wasn't a special,
it was a story that had originally aired before Thanksgiving last year, and had a brief comment at the end about how since the story was aired, the requests for help had gone up 20%. If this doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will. It was incredibly touching. See the thread on GD about 60 minutes. Thanks for your interest.

7. Those are both good
particularly since neither one ever had to account for their actions. One just made a fortune, and the other was turned into charcoal.

9. I saw that story in July...
while flying American Airlines (long story).

Point is: that's a truly powerful story! I'm not ashamed to admit that it made me cry!

The moment when they showed the young high school boy who saved his lunch in order to take it home to his family...I lost it.
