Why?
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 12:28 PM by Cyrano
Why are Democrats holding town hall meetings when they already know what we want?

Why will the greedy never, ever have enough?

Why can Republicans say anything and never be held accountable?

Why are most Democratic politicians afraid to speak the truth?

Why are there so many gullible people willing to trash their own interests?

Why are we giving away the store after winning big in the last election?

Why are obvious lies more readily believed than the truth?

Why is Obama playing this “bipartisanship” game?

Why isn’t Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes up yet?

Why are Bush, Cheney and Co. walking around free?

Why do so many believe there’s some God that cares what happens on this planet?

Why do I hold onto the fantasy that any of this will change?

4. That's okay. I meant to live on a sane planet, but got on the wrong bus.

5. because....
life doesn't make 'sense'.

As to the last question, it's circular- If we don't believe that the world can be a better place, we won't work towards making that come true, if we don't work toards making that come true, it never will.

:grouphug:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)

If the tyrants and murderers were really winning, all of us 'dreamers' would be extinct.
