and that triggers me to ruminate over all that has happened.

I dwell upon the America we once thought we were.

We at least thought that we were once so better than this.

I think about Campell Brown dismissively laughing about the illustrious Congressman Kucinich's nobel efforts.

I ponder about the weighty hearings she mocked.

I consider the gravity of Vincent Bugliosi's cogent statements.

I also consider the corporate media's priorities.

I think about McCains's bogus multitudinous claim's which are rarely, if ever questioned by the press.

I think about the "Star Spangled Banner" and how it is a tribute to never ending militarism.

I wish it was "America the Beautiful." That would be Ray Charles version.

We are not a nation that sanctions legalized sadism.

We are not a nation that believes that a preemptive war on a sovereign country is a good idea.

We are not a nation that wants to continue this crap through an entirely corrupted voting system.

We are not a nation that does not adhere to the rule of law, habeas corpus, or the Magna Carta.

Nor will we tolerate their absences for much longer.

Why are we acting like one. . . ?

Yoo Hoo. . .To be entirely bereft of truly representative leadership is a very onerous thing.

This was and to this day is a land of the lively discussion.

There is more than simply, far more than two utterly boring points of view.

Don't buy into the BS and have a very nice evening.
