About Me

.. I'm a total pacifist (make love, not war) and think george w. is an idiot; i just want to enjoy life and the administration is kinda ruining it for me...but not as much as they're ruining it for the Iraqis who live in a constant war zone and have to deal daily with more deaths of family and friends (collateral damage) as well as the American soldiers who are dealing with deaths, injuries, post-traumatic stress syndrome, divorce, mortgage defaults and more...we GOTTA get the heck outta Iraq NOW! I know I'm gonna vote next election and only for someone who has a plan for peace and diplomacy, not just aggression and oppression (GO BARACK!). I know, I know, the voting system is screwed, but I don't believe you can say a process doesn't work and needs to be fixed unless you participate. As long as most citizens are apathetic and don't participate, the politicians don't have to listen to us, just the lobbyists that buy them dinner and vacations. For me, just this once, vote.
