The Times, They Are A Changin'

Stop reading this for a minute and take a second to just notice what's going on around you.

Just Stop!

Take a deep breath and close your eyes for a few seconds. Think about what your life is. Think about what your country has become. Just think about it. Realize that this year, this month, this week, today, right now, the country and the world is changing like it rarely ever does.

We are experiencing history. The days we are living now and about to live in the coming weeks and months will studied, discussed and taught for generations to come. This is one of history's greatest moments. This is the beginning of a new beginning.

Please click "there's more" for the rest of this diary. Thank You!

Although it seems like decades ago, it's only been 11 months since the evil vomitous Bush Crime Family recaptured the White House by hook and by crook. 11 months! "Will the Democrats be able to win another general election in the foreseeable future?" the lying right wing corporate media asked.

Now, he's the different country we live in;

• Privitization of Social Security is dead


• John Bolton only serves at the UN via a recess appointment


• Bush's approval rating has plummeted to 37%


• A large portion of the Bush Crime Family is about to be indicted


• The House majority leader was just arrested, booked and arraigned


• The Senate majority leader is being investigated by the SEC


• A major US city is uninhabited and underwater


• Nearly 70% of Americans don't approve of the occupation of Iraq


• Worker's pensions are being underfunded and abandoned


• Energy costs are at historic highs


• The Republican party has schismed into rival factions


• The President is attacked by his own party on his Supreme Court Nomination


• Former Powell right-hand-man blasts Cheney/Rummy "Cabal" and enlightened world to the already believed fact that Bush is oblivious


• But the best part about all of this is....

  THE MEDIA IS REPORTING JUST ABOUT ALL OF IT

Don't get me wrong, there is so much more out there that the media has failed and continues to fail to report, but in comparison to a year ago, the media and the country has wisened up.

This week will be the official beginning of the end of the reign of terror the felonious Bush Crime Family has perpetrated on this country for 5 years. This week will be the beginning of the end of the reign of terror this villainous criminal administration has inflicted on much of the world.

Take the time these next few days to breath in the world around you. The times are a changin' and they're a changin' in a way that will resonate for generations to come. Take the time to remember who you are and where you are, so one day, many years from now, you can share with those that are yet to be born, the trying times that we survived, the trying times that our democracy has survived.

And never ever forget what we have lived through and what was allowed to occur to our country. Remember and absorb it all. Because we are the ones that will make these historic times historic.

The times folks, they really are a changin'. Do your part.
