40. I've learned things recently that disturbed me and I let it get to me.
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 11:19 PM by JohnOneillsMemory
Some things have even affected my employment. Interesting times.

1) I read 'No Place to Hide' by Washington Post investigative reporter Robert O'Harrow Jr. A most disturbing read about surveillance and data-mining integration.

2) A cousin of mine who is my age works for the National Security Agency, the ultimate omniscient Big Brother intel organization. This is a cause of some friction in the family, as you may or may not imagine. This is closer to me than I'd like. Way too close.

Combined with Rumsferatu's extra-judicial Gestapo recently revealed, I am so disgusted by this regime and its minions I can hardly keep from spitting.

There is more continuity of policy leading up to the neo-con wars then many of us who used to see Dems as 'the good guys' would like to believe.

I sincerely wish I could see Wesley Clark as a 'good guy' but I cannot carry his baggage of actions as far as others carry his words.

And there you have it, WesDem. I do hope, if Wes is propelled to another candidacy, that his actions might match his words.

Thank you for your protest vote here propelling me to my own clarification.
