"We're at war, keep an eye on your neighbor, and give up your rights, because, well, we're at war" only, this ain't the kind of war that those "war powers" were meant for, yet because it's been called a "war on terror" (nonsense! much like the "war" on drugs) people think: 'hey, we're fighting a war here, we *need* to give up these rights, just like in WWII" (or whatever-- some of the crap that went down in WWII wasn't very American-- but I guess, it's easy to bitch about these things and harder to deal with them-- but still, I say, some stuff is pretty evidently *core* to being Good Americans-- Is anything worth dieing for? Have we found out what's worth dieing for? Do we have to keep finding out what's worth dieing for? I say some things worth dieing for have been know for thousands of years.)) I'm more concerned with those aspects, than the monetary ones, but I know that money makes the world go round, I hear that, I listen. Just don't like it I guess. Would rather "work" make the world go round, perhaps using "time" as "money", but that's getting crazy off topic. :-)p >> Whatever the outcome, I'm positive (and I avoid positivity-- well, you >> know what I mean. ;]) we made the right choice with Obama. > > We are where we are, no sense looking backwards now. Yeah, but to some extent, what we see is what we get. Sorta. Perception is an interesting deal. (he says, understated-ly) -- There is no less invention in aptly applying a thought found in a book, than in being the first author of the thought.
