A few weeks ago a person I have known for over 20 years

called me and I started to talk about the devastation in NO. He came back with a comment that those people don't want to work for a living. That was a bad mistake for him. I was not feeling well and I let loose on him about those people are in need of help and no fault of their own. Needless to say, he had to get off the phone.

Well today he stopped by our home. I immediately started discussing with him about what all this administration has been doing. I first started talking about what is going on in Iraq and how it has turned into a mess along with the B*shco building permanent bases there and the probability that we are going to remain there forever. He said that we should stay there and watch what they are doing. I asked why to protect B*shes oil reserves? He had no response.

Then I asked him how he felt about this administrations spying on its citizens. He said he didn't care because he was doing nothing wrong. I told him one of the FISA court Judges had resigned in disgust and the rest of them are going to investigate the actions that B@sh is doing illegally. I also stated that under the constitution B*sh does not have the authority to do what he has been doing. I went on to tell him that he should be concerned that his social security check maybe taken from him soon when we do not have enough money to fund this war.

Then my husband asked him if he would like to go to the protest Jan 31, 2006 with us to ask B@sh to step down. There was no answer to that one. I hope he is thinking about what we talked about. And maybe he will wake up to the facts.

Soon after we had this little talk he said he needed to go home and take his blood pressure pills.
