CBS news at 5:30 p.m. tonight..."Ten's of Thousands in Jordan
protest in the streets"...and you see alot of crazy people protesting in the streets.

We have one lone protester in Washington, D.C. who gets arrested and THEN is apologized to...and

We Call This America, I'm just bummed.
I'm a 60 year old grandma...and I am so very sad for our grandchildren.

Oh how the innocence of a better time...Today I shed a tear..of what Bush has done to this great nation

the voice of dissent is silent.

2. i'm only a year younger

and my daughter is not thinking of having children .... but sometimes, i wonder what kind of world they would grow up in and i think....well, maybe... maybe... that's ok.

" You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins" - Masters of War, Bob Dylan

and when i think of the better years we have had, i have to remind myself that the evil ones were plotting and scheming all along so as to reap the harvest that they are reaping now.

peace.

5. i guess that makes three of us
i hate to think that the future will be worse than what it is now. my youngest child is 20
although i want another grandchild before i leave i`m beginning to think i`m just being selfish. i never ever in my life thought i would feel this way. i know they can change things but i`m not sure if they will have enough time to do so....

3. crazy people protesting in jordan streets is normal behavior
for many of them. whipped into a frenzy by their political and religious masters, spontaneious protests
at the drop of a hat, carefully planned and arranged.

the sheeple stampeding over anything and nothing. whether the issue deserves merit or not.

13. i was in school a few miles from Pearl Harbor
and we had these drills where we would hide under our desks and shut our eyes ( so we wouldn't be blinded by the nukular bombs, y'know ).

yes, who knew that people who were kids at the same time, would someday be plotting to destroy the country i love?

8. i remember seeing mohammed mocked in cartoons in hustler mag
30 years ago, and thanks to the fact the newsmedia of the time never saw provoking a reaction (aided by cia/kkk/cbs/gwb/gop/pig etc payments to hirelings within the muslim community who on cue will lead 'enraged reaction' which then well publicised to justify all the bushviks have done via iraq/nsa snooping etc) as any kind of public service, they treated the foolish minor incidents like a foolish minor incidents, which then allowed moderates within muslim community to act as if it was just freaks and not of importance to the mass of people .... the question now is: "how can society control itself when thugs with big mouths are yelling 'fire' (or 'bomb' etc) in crowded theatres, shopping malls, public transport and various towns/cities in order to get the herd to panic and give the cops more power over them"? Unless the media are defined as 'pigmedia' one one hand, or alternative/progressive/liberal media on the other, with the recognition that the pigmedia are seditionists, organised political criminals, then NOTHING CAN BE DONE!

10. how is it desirable
to have tens of thousands of "crazy people" protesting on American streets?

Protest yes, but it must be done in a rational manner.

16. crazy people?
"Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.” -- R. D. Laing

“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.” -- John Lennon

A rational manner does not necessarily require rational manners.
