  For the first time in my life I have been watching and listening to The Democratic National Convention Coverage. It is more inspiring that I previously would have guessed. Since we decided to go to war in Iraq, I have been watching, listening and reading about Americas political past and future.
I have read several blogs by Iraqis: Salam Pax, Raed Jarrar and Riverbend. I hate this War. I hate that we can dehumanize our enemy. I hate that we send our young men to die for the interests of the "elite". I hate hearing my coworkers (blue collar, Union, middle class) excuse Bush for making war in hopes that "maybe it will help boost my 401k in the long run". It is just sad. But, finally paying attention has made me get off my ass and start asking questions... learning... talking to family and friends about what is happening. I am so glad that Michael Moore came out with Fahrenheit 911... Hey, he isn't perfect (none of us are), but it is a wake up call to the powers that be.
Don't believe it??? See the movie and then investigate the accusations yourself. I did. It is interesting stuff. Bill Clinton just gave his speech. For all of his stupid mistakes, that man can speak. (Why do people hate him for lying about a blow job, but will readily forgive the current administration for f-ing up and twisting "Intelligence" and sending 900 + young people to die in Iraq???). Anyway, great speech...I will post it in my next blog.
