Reply #37: we have all been thru a rough time

[Mari333]

I know. Think of all the mothers and fathers who had to see their children come home in a coffin. think of all the people who suffer every day and cant feed their kids. Think of all the jobs people lost, the daily grind of hell people go thru. Think of it all. I am not the only one, but I am a mother. And I am 52. I am angry, overwhelmed all the time, and tired of my own neighbours deciding to attack me when I go anywhere. Townspeople who vent their own anger on me and my husband when we go out, like the truck that pulled around us yesterday and flipped us the finger, even with a kid in Baghdad.
I dont understand why I would want to continue to live in this place, even in this country, where so many people refuse to see the truth, and wont even look for it.
They are still buying the propoganda.
and if there are people here who think like I do, they are afraid to speak out or support us.
They keep a low profile, and can change the channel on this war.
Thats why the draft seems to be the only thing, imo, that will wake them up.
But I dont want to wait around and see if my own kids get drafted.
I want to leave, and my instincts keep telling me I need to.
