Confessions of My Obsession
Advertisements [?]
I gotta wonder why I even bother to post here with the few responses I get. Obsessed I guess. I started my opposition to this war by focusing on the soldiers. I purchased a computer and a domain and started a site that I filled with resources for returning soldiers. Man, you should have seen the looks on the faces of the peace marchers as I offered them free t-shirts with 'support our returning soldiers' on the front and a peace sign on the back. I marched, stood with others on a corner in my community, hosted marchers at my home, donated food and water at rallies. I've written countless letters in support of our soldiers and in opposition to the invasion. I wrote a book about the military corporatism in this administration and published it with the last of my retirement money. I wake up everyday with new resolve and energy for the fight to end the occupation and to bring our soldiers home. I'll most likely be here tomorrow with a new angle on my obsession. I've got to believe that I am making a difference to continue. To turn away now would resign me to the solitude of the choices I've made over the course of this conflict. I hope I can make a diference. I'll be back. Hope to hear from some of you when I post.
