6. He's really laying it out there...

It's inspiring. Inspiring.

7. talking about the drug addicts

saying that was a lot of the violence there, junkies desparate for a fix. i get more and more cynical the older i get, but it's never enough to keep up. the war on drugs is a cruel hoax, designed to keep the market for drugs strong, the for-profits jails full, and the people desparate.

9. I'm listening to that part too

10. No kidding....

The methadone clinics, of course, were wiped out... as were sources for H, so, you know, people are going to suffer there.

11. "Did the IRaqi people ask us to go in there?"

"I am going to probably get in lots of trouble for this but.....we allocated $8 BILLION for Iraq...after 9/11 we gave Bush unprecedented power ....."

8. He was superb on CNN this morning -- he told it like it is for 10 minutes

and the interviewer (voice-over only, don't know who it was) was complaining just as bitterly. At the end they were both crying.

I only pray this newfound openness in the MSM can effect some action. And quickly.

13. it is finally american blood on their hands.

maybe that is what woke them up. let's hope they stay awake.

12. They played this on Springer this morning...

the mayor was pulling no punches, you could hear the desparation and anger in his voice. It gave me chills.

15. "..he did send one John Wayne guy down here...a general....

and he got off the helicopter and started cussing and people started moving....give him total control and something might get done...."

19. I am crying.

Those beautiful beautiful people. And they are dying. Dying. That beautiful man.

I am so sad and speechless now. This day has put 9/11 to shame.
