I Still Cry....
When I watch the news, when I read the paper. When the hell is this going to stop? There has been so many lies in the Bitch presidential administration that I cannot even keep count anymore. I pray (please don't flame) that this war based upon lies will end. And that the voices that want to take Bush out of office will be heard. My God....Bush is killing our people and people are cheering for him. WTF is wrong with people. May they choke on their own contridictions...because thats what the debate is about now on the right side. A year in Iraq with weapons has become years with no weapons and no end in sight to the devastation.

2. Sometimes seeing Kerry and wishing he were president
does it for me. And sometimes reading stuff here about Bush Co. does it.

Yeah, I still cry too.

5. I haven't watched any news since 11/3 either
I always think that this is all going to come out in a wash, but when and how, nobody knows. Prayer really helps also.

6. I wonder
Why so many people voted to destroy the middle class, kill the American Dream, outsource American jobs, and promote a war with no end and too many innocent people dead?

7. A couple of things...
Firstly, yeah, me too.
But there is this: I take some comfort in knowing that this is just our own corrupt govt being revealed. THis is not the first time we have done wrong, and our country deserves better. Look at Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, Colombia, we have been doing bad stuff a long time under complete cover. I was a kid younger than my own is now when I became aware of it, and almost no one knew. It is being revealed. It is healthy for people to become aware, and with that awareness will come more responsible actions. Or so I hope and pray.

Secondly, remember when you are feeling low that we are are half of the country. All we have to do is change one mind each.

Take care of yourself! Take a walk, pet the dog, 10 deep breaths three times a day, take care of your physical wellbeing, and if the movie "Millions" is showing in your area, go see it RIGHT AWAY!

Pm me any time, I really send you much aloha sista.


:hug:

8. It is hard to live with it all
I was telling a friend about how I despaired that no one would ever be held accountable for this war, and this friend told me that even if we couldn't stop what was happening or change it, we could know that we had done our part to stop it. There is some comfort in that.

Remember to find the good in your life. We can't let them take that away, too.

:hug:

9. I cried on Nov.3
Now I simply DO NOT watch the news. If I'm channel surfing and it lands for a brief second on Bush's face, I physically turn my head away and change the channel.

A lot of people voted for him because they fear terrorism. I fear him.

I don't cry about it much anymore. I am more often filled with this uneasy and peculiar feeling that I should be making arrangements to get out of this country.
