then so am I. Until 11/2/04 I was a 55 year old grandmother just trying to make ends meet. Then the election happened. That was a real wake up for me,since I have a BA in Psy/Soc I could see what was going on in the election. You learn to watch how people communicate through body language and facial features( not the words they use). I could tell that the whole neocon right were telling lies. I also had a class in Business relations and knew that fear(in one form or another) is what is used to sell most of the products to the public. It is used as the fear of not being better than others, or having bad breath, not getting the best, not being able to keep up. There was so much fear used in this election that I thought WTF is going on. WMD, Iraq, not being loyal to US, and many many more blatant outright terror to sell themselves. I have never seen such a ramped up sell job in my life. Then when they said that * won, I just couldn't believe that could happen. I was in shock. Now I have joined a meet up group, have marched on our capital and am bogging all over the net. The things I am learning are shocking. Most of the time I am walking around in a half daze. I have turned into a Radical Dissonant. You are not alone!!!
