That is, perhaps, one of the most brilliant pieces of writing I've ever read (because I totally agree with it).

"Come to think of it, nearly everyone I know hates these wars and these lies as much as I do." I've talked about this with a lot of nice people (people unlike some of the folks that could be described thus:"If reports are accurate, these troubled men are neither bad journalists nor even bad actors portraying journalists--they're mentally unbalanced individuals whose partisan belligerence is pressing them to the brink of psychosis."), and all those nice people have the same things to say: they don't think the war was necessary; they don't think the war made us safer; they think our liberties are being dangerously eroded; and they think we are being lied to more than usual. I don't ask people what their politics are- and I DO work in education, which can attract liberal minded people who want to help save the world (unlike the people attracted to work as CPA's or patent lawyers, for example) - but still, the consensus is startling. I haven't met anyone who says the kind of stuff the right wingers say on the Bush thread, for example (or the stuff they were saying back when I was reading it). :-) And for this I am almost willing to thank a supreme being- but not quite. Agnosticism has been berry berry good to me.
