How do you feel about our 'current events'? I spend so much time

Edited on Wed May-09-07 12:04 AM by babylonsister

trying to document them, I'd like to hear what you think.
Me? I want the people responsible to pay for the situation our country is in, our soldiers, the Iraqis, our 'legacy', the ones who've ruined it and people? I want them to pay for their errors. It's not just errors, it's so much worse than that.
How do you feel?

1. I exhaust my friends and family with it.

They don't care. Or give me the "Well, Clinton did it too" bit.

But I don't miss an opportunity to give them both barrels every time they wonder what the hubbub is about.

I hope that by learning and being able to explain the issues, that others might become interested as well. They might see what is really happening, and start asking questions.

Haven't been very successful.

2. We're making the difference we need to make.

With unheralded persistence, belief, and optimism, followed by more persistence (even when the optimism is faint), and we are winning.

Democracy is working. Slowly, yes. Later than many of us have longed for: absolutely.

But is our success, and the future triumph of the American idea of democracy, truly inevitable?

Now more than ever, I think the answer is yes.

Thank you for all your work, sis. Even when we don't know how deep the slime is, we know that it can't dominate the goodness and the light and the hope that is America, and its foundation upon the essential freedom and goodness of every human being.
