I’m trying to stick to fiction as it’s fun and right now I need all the fun I can get.
But sometimes…I do have three more chapters written and plans for many more. I made a page for it. And really like Wednesday’s chapter. Just need the words.
The only true way we can honor Vets and troops serving in Iraq is by ending that war now. Lately I have been thinking it’s easier to keep that war going than to think, or do anything, about the very real problems in America.
Wrong track is a euphemism. We are a people in clinical depression. Americans know that the ideals that once set our nation apart from the world have been vandalized, and no matter which party they belong to, they do not see a restoration anytime soon.
This is an especially wonderful article by Frank Rich. After three readings I’m convinced Rich is the person who can save the USA. OK, I worship him, but for a good reason. He’s a brilliant writer and thinker. Though I quote Senator Schumer in another post he has been one of the biggest disappointments to me. I won’t go further than that. Rich says it all.
I’m glad you point that out. I hadn’t rad it, or much of anything this last week. As always you’re spot on.
I was humbled by the Homeland Security meeting I went to here at the weekend. Although truly a bizarre experience, I realised that most of the people I think of as ‘Republican types’ I met there, such as Marine Colonels and FEMA suits, were all really just good hearted people, trying to do their best to help other people out in a possible emergency. I wish the politicians would all do the same, no matter what side they’re on.
Why does it take potential emergencies before people come together? Ward, famines, etc. We should all be facing the same direction regardless, not bluffing each other with silly news stories about Britney, etc.
I think the word is despair - not depression. People have given up somehow. It’s probably part of the daily experience of living in the States and being subjected to the daily bombardment of the fascist leaning media. I believe Americans living abroad, out of this system have held more hope. I could never understand why the entire population over the years has turned into sheep.
