28. forced people to pay attention to their government- sadly not
all people- but I have learned more about the actions of my country that I had no idea about since the impeachment push- and far more than I like knowing, since *'s installation in Dec. of 2000-

I heard about 'Iran/Contra' I heard about 'The school of the Americas'", I suspected 'we' weren't as lilly white, and 'well intentioned' as our brainwashing would have us believe.

I NEVER DREAMED that the corruption, greed, and manipulative murderous actions that we have done, are doing, and encourage others to do on our behalf could possible be true, or as deeply rooted in our history and policies, as I have come to discover.

I never thought I'd have good cause to be ashamed to be a part of this nation.

Or that 'the people' could be over-ruled, and led like sheep to be part and party to this slaughter.

So, yes, I can say for me, I have become educated- not what I LIKE knowing, but what I needed to learn.

peace,
blu
