5. Will Pitt, you're a city boy. I hope you got a straw hat.
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 05:51 PM by achtung_circus
A fellow in a big doublewide just rolled by and gave everyone the finger. He didn't stop, though. No big surprise.


A double wide is a mobile home. If you are speaking of a pickup truck with double tires on the rear it's known as a "dually".

8. This brought tears to my eyes.
I had seriously worried about America and Americans losing their souls. This reaching out of support by ordinary Americans for Cindy Sheehan makes me feel that we really do have a chance to take America back and start a healing process to begin in spite of King George down the road there.

12. this is awesome
I read her address to the Veterans for Peace Convention. Can I hear a big "Amen Sister?"

> When I was growing up, it was "Communists." Now it's "Terrorists." So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

But I do see hope. I see hope in this country. 58% of the American public are with us. We're preaching to the choir, but the choir's not singing. If all of the 58% started singing, this war would end.

I got an email the other day and it said, "Cindy, if you didn't use so much profanity ... there's people 'on the fence' that get offended."

And you know what I said? "You know what? You know what, god damn it? How, in the world is anybody still sitting on that fence'?"

"If you fall on the side that is pro-George and pro-war, you get your ass over to Iraq, and take the place of somebody who wants to come home. And if you fall on the side that is against this war and against George Bush, stand up and speak out."

But whatever side you fall on, quit being on the fence.

The opposite of good is not evil, it's apathy. And we have to get this country off their butts, and we have to get the choir singing.

We need to say, bring our troops home now.

We can't depend on the people in charge bringing our troops home.

Because you don't plan on bringing the troops home when you drop so much of the reconstruction money into building permanent bases. <

14. You tell me the truth.
You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to
make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer
of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you
don't tell me my son died for freedom and democracy.

17. Will
Would you do us a favor and update the numbers each time you blog. I've been wanting to know how many people are out there and despite the fine blogging and picture taking going on, few people have been mentioning that.

Thanks. I hope you were able to drag GOPisEvil out there with you. He could be a real help with your Texas fashion sense.... ;)

20. Hey Will!
How long are you staying? I'm arriving in Dallas Friday afternoon and having dinner with some DU'ers. Maybe you could join us? I'll do my show Saturday evening, partly from Peace House and partly from the scene near the "ranch". Heading home Sunday noon.

31. My God. I hadn't read Cindy's speech to the Veterans in its
entirety until just now. What a powerful speech; what a brave woman. If they arrest her at midnight, I'm getting in the car and going to Crawford - oh, wait. I can't, I'm on jury duty. Shit. When jury duty is over - then I'm going. I really do hate that Crawford coward and I don't normally hate anybody.

32. A large flatbed tow truck has been spotted by the side of the road
"A large flatbed tow truck has been spotted by the side of the road a couple of ranches down. There are a lot of reasons for a ranch to have something like that. Still, it is an ominous sign."

- 11:30 pm update...

but they wouldn't arrest people using a flatbed truck...

maybe it's for the fund raiser? (think happy thoughts....)

35. No, but they'd tow their cars away
Impound them and make them pay through the nose to get them back. :grr: As if the cars are anywhere they weren't while the sun was still up - and the media still present.

Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 11:50 PM by cry baby
It was beautiful to hear with Mike's magnificent voice.

Edit to say that he also said that he hopes you (Will) will be in DC in Sept.
