“… Theres a lot of people right now … suffering …
As I’m sure the news has hit you …
It seems like … every time your turn around these days there’s somebody blowing somebody up …
I just, we were talking about it earlier today and I just … we just …
Why can’t we just … why can’t the president say something human?
Just say something human about … about … about people hurting?
I think … he just … they just tend to SPIN everything …
They take a tragedy - something that’s just a tragedy - just senseless – and they spin it
To ‘well you know we’re not gonna stop now and we’re not gonna stop fighting terrorism and blah blah blah blah’ …
And on with the war and on with the war but I just want … I want so badly to hear him say “FUCK! What the fuck is going on?”
Maybe someday. Maybe someday we’ll have somebody who isn’t afraid to just be a human being and just … cry, you know?”

1. unfortunately Hippy...
You have to be human in order to say something a human would say. This is the most inhuman group of people I have ever had the displeasure of being exposed to. I am so proud of people who point this situation out. They love to use the most horrible of happenings for political gain, at least in their eyes but then turn around and lie like a dime store rug when something terrible occurs and causes suffering, usually due to something that they've either done or been derelict in doing. "cough, <<KATRINA>> cough".
