I just got a emotional hangover...
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 02:34 AM by Dangerman
I just got home from work today and I seen a bunch of American flags.

The announcer says that "we will win this war on terror."

I ask my supervisor that B*sh let 9/11 happen and if Gore were president in 2000, 9/11 wouldn't had happened, then she said "Bush did not cause 9/11."

I then was eating my dinner depressed and continue to work.

I know it's the anniversary of 9/11 and all, but too much patriotism (guys and gals with flags all over their bodies and clothing) makes me dizzy. (Not that I hated this country or anything, but they still made me dizzy because I though deep inside they were BUSH supporters.)

Mark Twain said that "True patriotism is being loyal to your country and loyal to the government when it deserves it." But I got a feeling that most of the people were loyal to BOTH the country AND the government even though the government DO NOT deserve it.

Man, what a night.

2. Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

In Former Songs

IN former songs Pride have I sung, and Love, and passionate, joyful Life,
But here I twine the strands of Patriotism and Death.

And now, Life, Pride, Love, Patriotism and Death,
To you, O FREEDOM, purport of all!
(You that elude me most—refusing to be caught in songs of mine,)
I offer all to you.

’Tis not for nothing, Death,
I sound out you, and words of you, with daring tone—embodying you,
In my new Democratic chants—keeping you for a close,
For last impregnable retreat—a citadel and tower,
For my last stand—my pealing, final cry.
