it's bloody cold, and it's just going to get colder. dubya is working to guarantee the economic collapse of the united states during our lifetimes. we just got a new secretary of state who will be loathed world-wide, despite being both black and a woman. we are trading a privacy invading police state style attorney general for one who thinks torture is not without some value. we are currently fighting a war for the continuation of entrenched power (in our country) on foriegn soil that has little to nothing to do with its expressed purpose. said country is about to hold elections which will put a nice shine of democracy on virtual anarchy and power grabbing. americans have already mostly forgotten about 150,000 dead in asia (including myself) due to the sheer scope of the tragedy. if i were a religious man (which i'm not), i just might say that the world was coming to an end. i won't, but i expect to see a paradigm shift in the next fifty or so years that will catch all of the blind followers of this country by surprise.
sorry this post is such a drag, but world affairs don't tend to be sweetness and light. keep the faith (if it makes sense), viva la revolucion, and fuck bush.
