I don't want a package, labeled Bush inc.. telling me what to think and eat.. They're not. But, even if they were, you have the freedom to decline.

ONLY ONE TRULY WITHOUT FEELINGS, Would mock, even a condemned woman, heading for execution..:( Would even think of it..:( Would make a JOKE about NOT finding WMDS, when he lied about it.. Looking under desks etc at a fancy get-together while the mothers and fathers of the dead looked on.. :( Why don't THEY understand, or if THEY do, Why don't THEY at least show some compassion.. I am just getting so tired.. Of trying to explain it all.. For it is so easy to see..

I don't think anyone is purely evil, Coug, even George Bush. I think he is very limited and conflicted and is definitely a dry drunk who should have gotten quite a lot of therapy. I think perhaps he is crying when he meets with the relatives of slain soldiers because on some level he does feel responsible for their deaths, he does know that he staged a huge lie with many complicit helpers about the war in Iraq, etc. Meeting with the families may well be the most "real" his life gets, since he is terribly isolated from protesters or the public or anyone who disagrees with him at all. I have never heard any accounts of him being disrespectful or cold when he meets with the families of dead soldiers, though, and I think that if he were presenting himself the way Cindy Sheehan claims in her second account, we would be hearing about this. You don't need to be the mother of a dead soldier to be an effective anti-war protester. The leaders of any movement need to be considered, deft, clever and not too emotional at every moment. Just rambling on, blah, blah, blah while the press sits around and records it is not a qualification for leading an effective movement. Do you want the anti-war movement to work, incidentally? Do you think it is working with Cindy Sheehan? I certainly don't. She is very vulnerable to becoming a target of the Bushies, and this is exactly what is happening.
