Oh hell, this one again too I guess.

I Get Around

I don't know. Somehow listening to a little innocence just makes me feel better after reading all the hellish news.

Advise: Don't read the hellish news while you listen to these innocent songs. It creates a weird sense of derangement and hopelessness.

Thus begins the slow graying of the line between domestic crimes and acts of terrorism.

Will the Patriot Act apply to these types of crimes in the future? Will the accused be allowed representation? Even though the Supreme Court betrayed America before by choosing our President, I still have faith that it would step up to the plate if these issues were brought to them and do the right thing.

Man I screwed this site up. I don't want to hang around work to fix it so it might be this way for a while.

I love this name site. It generates random names of all nationalities, plus it's just fun to look up name meanings.

I know this is a really simple thing to say, because the Iraq war is a very complex situation, but I want some reporter to just ask Bush point blank again: "Could you please explain to the American people exactly why you chose to go to war with Iraq?" It obviously wasn't to help the Iraqi people be rid of a dictator. Sorry, don't buy that one at all. It's not because they posed an immediate threat to the United States. Intellegence reports were found to be contrary to that belief at the time the decision to go to war was made. I believe Bush pushed us into war for three main reasons. One - For revenge on the assasination attempt on his father and to show the world that no one can ignore the wishes of the U.S. ( I call this motive "The Cowboy Motive" Two - to gain control of Iraqi oil. (I call this motive "The Family Business Motive.) Three - I think we were too blind for our own liking and needed to establish a stronger intellegence link in the Middle East. (I call this motive "The President of the Country Club Motive.) There really is no excuse to go into another country that is not a direct threat to us. National Security may be important to us, but we don't seem to respect that other countries have needs as well and it is not right for us to just walk over them because they annoy our comfort zone.

Just a Ben update. I have finally moved in to my new place and set up shop. I have finally got my washing machine to stop spraying the room by replacing the rubber washers in the hoses and using a shit load of plumbing tape on the threads. I have finally set up a T.V. with rabbit ears and have been enjoying PBS, CBS, FOX, WB, and a plethora of religious channels. Maybe enjoying is the wrong word there. I've been watching PBS the most. I actually start hating CBS after awhile because I am not a kid or a parent. I don't think I fit their demographics. Anyway, as you can tell from my T.V. talk that my life is pretty damn exciting now. That's all for now.
