My heart is breaking.

[magellan]

1. Mine too

[helderheid]

2. I feel like throwing up.

[StellaBlue]

7. Me, too.

I called in sick to work.

No sleep.

:shrug:

[helderheid]

11. I'm so sorry

:hug:

[StellaBlue]

12. seriously

this is SO BAD

:shaking head:

:hug:

[helderheid]

14. I know. I just cannot believe this is the USA. I just cannot believe it.

[StellaBlue]

15. Seriously, read some Howard Zinn

this is not any more unbelievable, and we don't feel any more outraged, than what was felt by black Americans 150 - or 50 - years ago.

Human history is one long struggle of the masses of people trying to scrape and grab and eat and live and secure a few basic rights for themselves against the tyrrany and greed of various oligarchs in changing costumes, who parade through our history books.

We've been lucky enough to live, until recently, in a place and era of previously unknown freedom and enlightenment. It was an exception.

[Frank Cannon]

20. Philip K. Dick had a short description of this too

"THE EMPIRE NEVER ENDED."

And it never did. Probably never will.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. I am sorry.

:hug:

[Warren Stupidity]

4. I'm there.

[Ezlivin]

5. Where's my fiddle?

I need something to do while I watch America burn.

Now I know why my liberal English teacher had all of us read "1984".

[Avalux]

6. Yes, mine is too.

A day of tragedy for the United States. :-(

[ms liberty]

8. I feel sick, my head is pounding, and my heart is breaking, too...

If this passes, we at DU are big fat targets. Anyone who opposes the Decider is a target.

I keep thinking, Dear God - this cannot be happening!


:cry:

9. They just fucked the troops

How long before enough of the brass (not headed for chusie retirement jobs in the Industrial Military Complex) says "No, Sir! I will not follow that illegal order!"? Congress can say it's legal and the usurper in the Oval Office can sign the paper, but Geneva stands as international law.

Turn the war criminals over to the International Court. Fire their partners in Congress. WE are the government and they don't govern if WE DON'T CONSENT to it.

[annabanana]

10. yes

[bdamomma]

13. oh god that picture has just brought tears to my eyes

:cry:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. Can you elaborate?

What happened? I don't have news access here at school.

[swimmernsecretsea]

19. Wait? What is it? What have they done now?

You've got me panicking. If you all are worried, it must be bad.

17. All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell

AMERIMACKA

Miss Liberty turn inna Jezzabelle
All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn

If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn’t have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now she’s burnt us all with her flames

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is the liar’s den
Your culture of greed has got to end

Now we’re laying in the mud
Looking up above
Tear water just ah drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

18. I hear ya, but we WILL prevail!

This Congress will go down as the most vile in our nation's history. They would sell their own mother's for a free ride on a corporate jet. They have done more damage to this nation than any terrorist could ever do by rolling over for Bush policy these past 6 years. True Americans DO NOT support torture. These bastards and the facist despot they bow down for will are an ugly, putrid stench, but The Constitution will stand long after these decrepit assholes drop dead. They are less than nothing, not even a comma.

[Ryano42]

21. Hugs

Please cry let it all out and know you are not alone...you have many who argree and hurt.

In a little while...we will calm regroup and start thinking...and planning.

NOTHING IS OVER TILL WE SAY IT IS.
