Yeah, well, we've made a start on Washington. The problem is it doesn't matter anymore who is nominally in charge. We've set out on a course that leads to disaster, and we can't stop it. The time to turn all this around was in the 70s, and we didn't do it then. I felt great sadness when Carter lost the presidency, and never really understood why at the time. Now I do - it meant the beginning of the end of America as a great nation. When a good man with his heart in the right place was beaten out by a B-movie actor, the country took a terrible wrong turn. And we haven't looked back since, til now it seems. We finally see ourselves in Vietnam all over again, with global warming looming on the horizon, and now, now we say, "oops". Too late. We always wake up too late to change course. The problem isn't the shadow government - it's the stupidity of the general population, and the fact that most of them really don't give a shit, as long as their own personal needs are satisfied. That is America's problem. Thanks, Casey!

Our freedom is still up for grabs. It's time to reign in the corporate power shadow government. *sigh* on a happier note Happy new year Donna! Actually we do need to re take Washington DC still.

And I guess we did an air attack in Somalia to get some Al Qaeda guys. And on and on. So much for peace. I got a kick out of your comment about moving away from your husband and kids. Lord, it does sometimes seem like the only answer, doesn't it? All of this is so depressing and I don’t see any way out of mire. And I guess we did an air attack in Somalia to get some Al Qaeda guys.
