I'm Feeling Angry Today
My foot is swollen and I can't walk properly and I pulled a muscle playing raquetball and now my back is screwed up from trying to walk normally and I'm late for work.
On top of that Bush is in the process of establishing a monarchy here in the U.S and changing his title from President Bush to King Bush. We have American citizens and "enemy combatents" being held for years on end in jails here and abroad without being charged for a crime under the guise of "national security," one of the most Orwellian like excuses ever produced to create a police state. What happened to due process? That's a cornerstone of the 14 Ammendment to the Constition. Torture has been given tacit approval as long as we don't hurt people to the point of complete organ failure and in the latest debacle King Bush is circumventing the law so he can spy on Americans without having to get a court order. Since when is the President of the U.S. above he law? What's next the Thought Police? Is it just me or does it seem that we are sliding towards a precipice? Am I the only one that's so pissed I can't see straight sometimes?
We are spending 5 billion dollars a month in Iraq and another couple of billion in Afganistan. The Bush administration is raising their arms in triumpth because the Iraqi's had elections this last December, and refusing to acknowledge we are in the middle of a civil war beween the Sunnis and Shiites. While Haliburton is raking in billions of dollars in profit reconstructing Iraq, which we initially went in and destroyed, 25% of our kids don't have health insurance.
The disparity between rich and poor is ever widening and as the country floats farther to the right, working American's are struggling against anti-worker policies, depressed wages and dissiminated pention plans , while Big Oil is raking in 9 billion dollars a quarter in profit, yet still qualitying for tax breaks and subsidies. Our industry and textile sectors are jumping all over the globe trying to find the cheapest place to open their factories, while American's blue collar middle class is being gutted, victims to "Global Trade." It's sad and pathetic. The people who helped vote in Bush back in 2000 must have had their mouths glued to a bong.
Goddammit.
Anyway, enough meandering. I can't change the world, but it sure feels good to vent my frustrations.
