Has YOUR life changed since 911? Mine sure as hell has mr egomaniac asshole bush
Edited on Thu Jan-15-09 08:26 PM by uppityperson
Except for having friends stuck going to Iraq numerous times, and friends who have broken up over being involved with the military bs, and a sib being stuck with a house (option, give up everything has put into it for the last 20 yrs), and a failing business, and inability to afford health care, and being totally worse off due to the actions of the administration the last 8 yrs, fuck YES my life has changed mrbush.

I have not had to be The Decider, but if you truly believe that most of us have had no change, not to mention massive change, you are a narcissic little egomaniac, and your departure cannot come too soon.

Chanting "war is peace" does not make it so. And no, it is NOT all about you.

I wish I could hear Keith Olbermann.

2. welcome to DU.
His egotistical speech of "all you got to go back to your normal lives, but *I* didn't since *I* had security briefings every day" bs got to me. Most of what he said applied backwards to his reign, but that bit just pissed me off.

4. Putting aside the discussion of how he got put into power, what apalls me is
the number of people who DID vote for him, and the number who still support him and his policies. After 2004 election I seriously wondered if I was in the right country, with that many people having that different values than I did.

We now have a chance to slow down the damage they have done. I don't know how much will be changed, and it won't be enough for me, but there is a chance to slow down the damage. I am not only uppity but cynical and hate to be proven right.

Sometimes it all feels like a game, but then often it doesn't when friends kids are on 3-4 tour in Iraq, when trying to figure out how to pay basic bills, when dealing with customers figuring out how to keep us all going, when kid and friends come visit and discuss draft fears, when calling around to find cheapest dental care for an abscess.

Next, off to check the DOW. Have you seen the DU topic, running daily? It is in LBN, here is today's, having discussion as to why the market does what it does: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3693002&mesg_id=3693002

There are all sorts of people on DU, all sorts, but it is a good place to see news gathered together since there are lots of people doing that here. And a place to network, once you figure out whom is good for that and who is here to waste time (having done both of those myself).
