I feed the birds every day. I get bird feed from Costco.
I am fine, but I see heavy dark clouds moving into our country. We seldom even talk about the drug boarder wars. In one city of 500,000, right below the boarder people have to be in by 9 O'clock it is so dangerous to be on the streets.
Look how we let Vietnam go on for so long, how we let Bush take us to Iraq and Afghanistan like little lambs. Wall street stole trillions and we yawned.
We voted to stop that stuff.
I could be wrong, over reacting, but it is interesting that my thinking is just following the polls, liberal bloggers and John Stewart.
Go read any liberal blog or newsprint you consider smart (I have always trusted your thinking), like The Nation and they will say what I am saying, most likely. I know the Nation, Stewart, Firedog lake, Daily Kos are saying what I am saying.
I am really just floating with run of the mill liberal thinking. I see it here. The doubt.
Whenever I am sure I am right, but greatly outnumbered in opinion, I remember when Wayne Morse of Oregon, and Earnest Greuning, of Alaska voted against the Tonkin gulf Resolution.
Of course I could just be nuts-lol. I wouldn't know it. Still one must have the courage of their convictions.
They turned out to be right and the other 98 senators were wrong. And we hippies of the day proved correct. Lots of pressure on that one.
I see no way we can win or even hardly leave in Afghanistan and expert after expert, has told us we cannot win in Afghanistan, so what we should be doing is formulating an intelligent exit strategy to the degree we can. Or at least figuring it out.
Patraeus is not inclined that way and he has Obama over a political barrel now. Petraeus was a bone to the military and right wing so they wouldn't get mad.
As far as the gulf goes, I have never once addressed the blow out (know nothing about it), only the clean up which is far far too small and way way too late.
And, as mentioned I spent two years working in Valdez on the Valdez oil spill for Health and Social Services and the Governors office.
I never thought we could stop up, so we should have every available skimmer in the world picking up as much oil as possible and we should have had it from day 5. |
