I opened an interesting 'candidate' diary. As read the responses, I thought, 'oh good', (like I've thought so many times) 'some facts! I am going to learn something'! I am thirsty to learn.

But before 2 sentences are read, I am greeted with the subjective, useless 'fuck you asshole!'.And my mind moves swiftly to the tired place. I am yet again, assaulted by the dreaded D.U.D. (Democrats Unglued Disorder).

The media in all it's forms is harrrrd to wade through. So I come here to read and to learn. Day after day, I start down the path of this or that diary. I have learned to pick my way among the hysteria, from the titles and posters. But that cannot save me from the comments. It is a contest to see how far I can get, before I am accosted by a poster exhibiting the dreaded D.U.D.! For me it is not a drinking game or I would surely not be able to pick my head, from off the desk. Nevertheless my brain does feel glued to my eyeballs.

How is it that, we give not only very little air time to our dead but absolutely NO airtime for those this war has crippled?

 Any last ditch efforts by the 'Right' to blow the crap out of Iraq and kill/maim/destroy thousands more of our soldiers and the Iraq civilians, could be tempered by the reality of the casualties that continue to mount.

If news stations were doing their job, THIS would be THE news.

Many people have asked, how is it that people can still be voting for GW? How is it, that they don't get it?

I offer you here the reality of  brainwashing and the signs thereof:

Symptoms of Emotional Abuse: by an Abusive Government: terms here such as 'abuser'and 'partner' have been exchanged for 'Government' and 'constituents'.

Take a moment to consider these questions.  Your Government might have behaved as though these things were okay, even though it's obvious that they aren't okay...:
