I had a conversation tonight with 2 friends

1 is a right wing bushlover from Alabama and 1 is a wealthy Democrat (although not up on issues) from Connecticut.
I scored the biggest points because they both ganged up on me and said they have been waiting all week to find out what I thought of the Schiavo thing.
I informed them that they probably did not want to hear my views on it.
My friend from Alabama said that she would tell me what she thought, and I told her that she didn't have to. I already knew what she thought because all she watches is Fox,lol.
:)

that this whole thing is an abuse of power. It's only the devout christians who want to preserve her "life".

it's about divide and conquer and keeping our heads busy while they're doing God knows what behind the scenes.

Bewilderment, anger, frustration, stupidity, and an inability to add 2+2 in their heads. Oh it just makes my fucking day :D

...that the Republicans are out of line in this deeply personal matter of the family. There is only a very small radical minority who feels that government interfering is appropriate.

America's first big hit in 1971. I bought the LP when it first came out. Was living in Washington, DC at the time. I was a draftee in the US Army assigned to the Pentagon.

I'm from Alabama, and the people I talk with say they are tired of hearing about it. Only the rabid bible thumpers want to put in their two cents worth. They watch Fox News like trained monkeys and repeat everything Hannity says.

Some may actually be waking up. One asked me, "Now what kinda' crap laws are they passing up there in Washington while this dog and pony show goes on?" Then I go to the mall and see a dozen SUVs with those stupid W stickers and get depressed all over again.

although I don't think anyone really ever "got" it.
The first part of the journey was Clinton's presidency, the rest is how I feel about the Bush administration.

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
