I'm numb now...

[Solon]

it's becoming too much, the torture, the beheading, the rapes, the evil incarnate in the White House. I find myself numb from head to toe, its like 9/11 all over again, but with US as the perpretrators. Is this what the Germans felt like after WWII? I do not know if I can even react to it all any more, I probably wouldn't be able to react if we dropped a couple of Nuclear bombs on Iraqi cities. Its the disgust, I can't react anymore, its like I'm shutting down, it's a brain overload I think. This scares me more than the actions of my own government, because I'm beginning to feel as if I am no better than these assholes. Anyone else feel the same?

7. it's overwhelming - getting brain freeze

or at least temporary brain seize. Add to all the top news of the day, the fact that lots of us are seriously struggling in this "rebounding" economy. What are we supposed to focus on first? aaayye - inpending mental shutdown - must stave off with bourbon....

13. Yup, agree but....

"Plan" would imply competance, something the bushistas find scarce and tiresome in pursuing their objectives.

Maybe "windfall" would work, but on further thought "clusterfuck" school of governing comes to mind.

Government requires governing IE hard work, something these thugs, and really all dictators find tedious and, well, beneath them.

Clinton might have been the last govener the US sees for some time.

2. I'm thinking about moving into a cave in the mountains.

No radio, no TV, no newspapers or Internet. Just peace and quiet. It's getting mighty tempting.

10. More than tempting....

I've been having the same sort of thoughts...it is bordering on a compulsion.

I lived in a cabin in a forest for 2 years without electricity, or many conveniences. It is amazing how tv is so easy to live without...and how much better life feels without it.

Cheers!

3. Yes!! The only saving factor is if we get the White House back...

if not this shutdown will get worse.

4. It's like I've been sucker punched.

It's hard for me to care about anything, when it looks
like things are going to get bad, bad, bad. The gates
of hell are open now.

5. Only if I stop resisting their actions

It is only when you give up that you become culpible. What are you doing to change things? Get out there and do what you can. Do what has to be done. Otherwise you are giving George permission to do these things in your name.

[FlemingsGhost]

6. That's the idea...

Heaven knows, we can't have people empowering themselves. They get all rebellious-like, and start asking questions.

8. I've been telling people this is Berlin in 1934.

9. Well, hell, son...

might as well relax and enjoy the ride, if it's inevitable. Look at the righteous convulsions the country went through in the late 1960's because of the unrighteous war in Vietnam. What did it get us? Richard Nixon, Watergate, Gerald Ford, "WIN," etc. Clinton/Gore delivered the most astonishing run of prosperity in the history of the planet, and what happened? You got it!

11. It heightened our conciousness in many ways. Raised our general integri,

as a nation to come to terms with being so officially wrong.

Just because the same evil forces have not been defeated (even when you win elections, you lose selections) doesn't mean it was all for naught.

I shudder to think where this country would be without the idealism of the 60's.

12. I know what ya mean

I can't find the outrage, the compassion to care about this beheaded guy. IT's like another death so what? Cause there's a picture does that make it news? Because it's an American, because it's basically in retaliation for our actions?

I don't know what to feel anymore. I just want us out of Iraq. That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Scream it. Fuck Iraq. Say goodbye. Go away. I want it over.
