well G, they have been quite tricky, many of us have noticed, about taking away our constitutional rights. let's see, what else, there's the weird vote count things. the story isn't right yet. the torture at Abu Ghraib, when I think we had all been under the impression, maybe based on our public school educations, that we did not believe in torture in this country. we believe in innocent until proven guilty, and humane treatment. we pride ourselves on that. that very quality of maintaining justice and human dignity is why we love Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, and It's A Wonderful LIfe so much. this war, that is another thing, and i am so disturbed by how undisturbed i am by it, even though i have expressed in public arena my vote which is against the war. i just ripped up my toe recently, that really hurts and it's frightening to get cut that deep. it hurts to be in a war, bombs and amputations, and people being slaughtered like useless nothings.
oh yeah, and the government is busy putting marijuana smokers in prison. can you imagine, being put in a cage for something like that? man, we are just being usurped! and we take it, we think if we wear panty hose and keep a dusted house that we somehow have nothing to worry about. but what? i mean, i walk around here and talk to people, and people are often as freaked or more freaked than i am. things ain't right. we haven't figured it out yet, how to end war, how to cooperate, how to want to give among all people, everywhere, as though we were one tribe.
