Outside of DU - do you hear ANYONE concerned about Georgia??

[cliffordu]

I mean among the people you talk to daily - co-workers, grocery checkers, librarians, etc.....

[mcctatas]

1. One of my friends just started dating a Russian woman and he

is more concerned about what dipshit move the chimperor will take re: Georgia...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Yes, actually.

Got into a long discussion about it with a guy at work today. We agreed that the Bush administration is wagging the dog.

[AllieB]

10. Agree about 'Wag the Dog' scenario

I wonder what the next neo-con move will be.

[cliffordu]

12. McCain will "solve" the problem.....Being able to win wars and all...

[tekisui]

3. Only after I have mentioned it, and told someone what happened.

[cliffordu]

9. Yep - I get a few blank looks and then kind of a nod of recognition....

but I don't know anyone paying as close attention as DU'ers.

I appreciate that people here actually pay attention to what potentially could kill us all.

[liberalmuse]

4. No. This morning I mentioned I was glad for the ceasefire to a co-worker.

That sure didn't last. Anyway, it got her looking for updates for me, LOL.

[appleannie1]

6. When you mention Georgia to most people, they think Atlanta or something.

[Occam Bandage]

5. Yes. One of my best friends is a Russian emigrant

who is terrified of what her country has become.

[riverdeep]

7. Nope.

Any international talk is about the Olympics. I honestly don't think they understand what's going on. It's happening with countries they're unfamiliar with, so it's like- 'there's something happening, but it's happening OVER THERE.'

But when I saw Cheney come out of his lair to comment on the situation, making intimations for war, I knew something was up. They say a shark can smell drops of blood in the water from miles away; the Dark Lord has the same gift.

[NutmegYankee]

8. Yes. Concern that this could spark WWIII

[MadMaddie]

11. Co-worker she and I talk about the bigger picture

[spanone]

13. i spoke to co-workers and most were aware of it....

[gateley]

14. No - and they're not too interested about VP possibilities either --

while we're getting ulcers here. :7

[cliffordu]

16. IS DU too....."sensitive"....

:rofl:

[gateley]

19. Ha! nt

[Synnical]

15. No, no time

Too busy keeping our jobs.

[fed_up_mother]

17. No. I've sent out emails and received nothing back

from republicans or democrats.

However, I'm sure I'll get a good response to the next "funny" I send out.

:crazy:

[cliffordu]

20. Yep - the weirder the email, the better response I get.

[bridgit]

18. You mean like, "Hey, that's a good price on red seedless!" "Yeah! We buy'em straight...

"...from the grower. How bout that war stuff with the Russians in Georgia."? No.
