Does anyone worry that we accept the following as normal?

1.Rumsfeld wants to wage wars from Space based platforms using
"Space Rods" raining down with pin point precision on any location
on earth.
2. That not one Congressman or Senator or anyone in our Press has called the War on Iraq by its proper name:A War of Aggression?

3. That we can work ourselves up about Paris Hilton's burger commercials more than the sufferings of the tsunami victims?

1. Yup.

Constantly.

To the point where it's interfering with my ability to focus on more mundane things.

Is that good or bad?

On edit: And can I somehow make a living at it?

2. It bothers me to no end.....

the entire country is in some bush induced mass hysteria and intellectual vacuum. I really don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to take it. Canada, and it's beacon of sanity, is 70 miles away from me. It looks better each and every day.

I have trouble handling the cold or I'd be there already.

8. LOL! I love Keith Olbermann's take on this last night.

Paraphrasing here, he said, speaking about the number of people who watch vs. the number of people who voted, "Oh my God! This isn't democracy! It's nothing but a popularity contest! American Idol: dumping talent for mediocracy."

:rofl:

5. Depressed, but not worried...

since that's pretty much the way it's always been.

6. outsourcing torture, deliberately pissing off the world, all quite normal

[radfringe]

7. addendums

3. that we buy bottled water because the stuff coming out the tap is undrinkable?

4. that we can't eat fish we catch in local rivers/streams/lakes because they are contaminated with mercury/pcb's etc?

5. that we have to slather on SPF500 creams to protect us from UV rays due to ozone layer depletion

6. that bush* scoffs at global warming warnings as "junk science with no real proof" - yet he believes in the bible based on faith alone
