Thread Name: BS: How much have the Bush's taken from you
Subject: RE: BS: How much have the Bush's taken from you
I don't have the energy to hate anyone.... I remember when the Prez. came to Ottawa a few years back, I joined in a large demonstration on Parliament Hill... it was surreal, black choppers wheeling around, search lights 'burnt like battery acid through Nagasaki silk'... riot squad standing by.... very peaceful from our side.. I did manage to salute Condi with one finger on a side street away from the side show, she didn't stop her limo to discuss it. ... it felt good... went back home with a copy of Steve Earle's new CD "The Revolution Starts Now"... at that point we had just committed troops to Afghanistan and our first casualties were from USAF friendly fire.... nothing like speed and smart bombs... we now have 97 dead... in Mr. Bush's neverending war on terror... so we have lost a lot as a country... the world is much worse off for his contribution to it... meanwhile his Daddy is raking in the big bucks, brokering Fed. land sales, including Indian land, to private speculators.... I could go on... but you all are well informed.. good luck with your new Leader....wish us luck with ours.. we're all watching....
