The Furious Spinner

No, I haven't forgotten. But I am mute, relatively speaking. I have no doubt a coup d'etat has taken place in this country. I feel I have no control over what the federal government is doing, so I'm concentrating on my community, town, house, relationship, and body. In case you haven't heard, demonstrations are happening all over the country to mark the two year anniversary of the Iraqi War. Montana's governor has asked Bush to bring Montana's troops home, ostensibly to fight wildfires. I heard on either NPR or KBOO that Gregoire had asked for Washington's troops to be brought back home, too, but I haven't found any news stories on it, so I think they must be mistaken—too bad.

Over 100,000 Iraqis are dead because of this war. More than 1,500 U.S. soldiers have been killed and thousands have been wounded. Our leaders lied to get us into this war. Since then, the U.S. has lost all credibility in the world and our leaders get their way by bullying—and torturing. Yet the Congress of this U.S. of A. is holding hearings on steroid use by baseball players. Last I heard baseball was a private business, so shouldn't Congress keep their noses out of it? I don't like steroids in baseball, but I certainly don't want Congress wasting their times on this. It's a game. People are dying because of the United States. Bush is trying to gut social security, and he's already gutted our environmental laws.

History will tell the tale of Dubya—and they will include this Congress as being partners in his crimes. 0 comments
