I am a student of psych; how has it affected your life to have such anger about the government be so keenly felt--esp. lately)?

2. Don't worry, it'll turn to anger
as weeks go by and nothing happens.

11. Indeed! I don't get "happy" by revelations of the criminal activities
of bu$hco, simply because I know it will go nowhere.

3. Permanently depressed. Lost pretty much all friends.
Much of the time I wish I could have died before Nov 2000 showed me that humans are total crap.

4. As a longtime cynic and Anarchist..I'm enjoying the awakening.
At long last, people are beginning to wake up to the inherent corruption of power.

5. It got me off of my rear and into action and out with people.
Some days more than others, that's true. I do get occasional attacks of Bush Tourettes if we accidently let the sound of that felon's voice into our home. lol

6. I was a DU addict and a shut-in
then I had my own personal circumstances to recover from. Now I have a less obsessive interest in it and I've signed up to help Phil Angelides win California (as Governor). I was not aware of much before ****, and now I'm an activist and want to major in Pol-Sci. So, there's that...

I get angry, but over time that anger turns into fuel for me.

9. I intensely dislike conflict
I want to believe, I want to wave the flag, I want to be a good guy.

I am in denial and have pretty much decided to stay there.

So I don't like it at all. I think WAY too much about it and find myself vaguely depressed much of the time but yet hopeful for the future.

13. HUH? "have anger keenly felt"
as if it is some sort of thing that originates from within us. We didn't select to have these things affect our lives.

We have been FUCKED, our country has been FUCKED. People have been sent to their deaths, others MURDERED. On LIES.

How do I feel? Fucking pissed off. Anger beyond anger. Uncontrollable revulsion for lies. I am so pissed off and disgusted, that I cannot stand your mild, stupid, asinine question.

How the fuck do YOU feel?!

14. anger is useless if it doesn't result in positive actions
anger at the Bush admin has compelled me to take the time to place thoughts and ideas into the blogosphere, under the theory they influence the body politic.

Right now, it's about helping my side figure out how to win in 06 and 08.

My side being the Democratic Party.
