My Alibi

i love a good polka as much as the next man...

so, im almost done watching fahrenheit 9/11. ugh, and it just makes me sick thinking about all of that. i knew (because someone told me) that they werent going to find and WMD in iraq. i dont know, it a real hard pill to swallow, when you are trying to understand something that no one understands. bush is going to be our president again for another 4 years and for the first time tonight, i thought about how that could really effect me. in two years am i going to have to worry about my policitcal and religous views being curbed because they are considered rebelious? i hope not. im not worried about war, i am but its not my main focus. our choices, i feel like we are on the verge of a dictatorship or something. how can he go on as president without having to face any consquences for all of the misinformation he and his fellow politicians force fed down everyones throat. i think if the media would have shown the bodies of american solidiers coming home in flag draped caskets and dead iraqi babies it would be different. which brings me back to a question i asked before, is keeping a truth hidden away a lie? oh wait, we the people are on a need to know basis. and i guess we dont need to know. people voted for him because ignorance is bliss, because they are alive and arent the ones dead. when america invaded iraq, i watched tv all night long, till the sun came up every morning, and checked the news paper to make sure there wasnt anything i missed. ty was out there, and i was so worried. between the daily emails and occasional phone calls (5-10 second delays are creepy) a few days might go by every now and then where i didnt hear anything. it was an awful suspense i would never wish on anyone who was waiting to hear from someone they love. i told my grandma if she didnt vote democrat this year, she could be one of the people held responsible if some fluke thing happened and they didnt let him out when they were supposed to and sent him back. she voted democrat. i finally made a dent in her. im not feeling very optimistic.
