Sobs

[Lightning Rod]

Every week on This Week, George Stephanopoulous ends his show with obituaries. First they note the public faces of famous people who have died. Then they list the names of our soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have to look away each week at that time. Otherwise I start to sob. This week there were forty of those names frozen on the screen. Even when I looked away, I sobbed.

You're not alone in your sobs Lrod.
But hey, life goes on doesn't it. Pres George goes on appointing his dollar sign eyed worshippers, and hundreds, maybe thousands of people will buy a car today that guzzles gas and is excessively unnessessary.
Hail the US, the land of laughable excess and it's presumption of deserving better than everyone else. Very Christian sentiment I guess.
How the hell did I get here?
How the hell did I become a part of this tragedy?
I only cared about the trees and us.
How amazing isn't it, that so many dead souls are in power over us now.
I sure as hell hope that the west coast will join Canada. Sure am hearing alot about that lately.
I'd rather sucede.....start something entirely new. I love entertaining that thought.....
Hang in there comrade,
