I started this blog in November of 2004 because I was so upset W getting re-elected. It seemed to me then, and it seems to me now, that we are on the verge of something horrible happening. Something that would tear apart our lives as we know it.

It’s not coming from the “terrorists.” It’s coming from ourselves. We are allowing people like Cheney, and Bush and Limbaugh to turn this country into a fascist state that will be unparalleled in the history of humanity. For we have weapons and technology far more advanced than the last fascist states(s) and that means more evil unleashed upon the people of the world.

Is it possible that I’m wrong about this? Sure. Of course. But I don’t think anyone who is actually looking at the signs and what is happening could disagree with me. We have governmental double-speak, we have “news” people mocking people with serious illness, we have politicians “pulling out the stops” with negative campaign adds all designed, not to discuss the actual issues or needs of the people, but to slander and defame their opponents.

The result is a widening gap between those with money and means and those without. The middle class is being eliminated and those in charge answer with things like “well, not everybody who has the ability to go to college will be able to afford it.” Like that’s OK. Like that’s a good thing for this country.

And today, reading through my blog-friends’ entries, I see that many of you are worried about this as well.

I worry that too many of us will give up and not vote. And I’m worried that even if we vote and there is a major overturn of power between the parties, that there will be no real change, for the power is not actually in the government but in business. Business, who needs no compassion for it’s god is the bottom line.

Just some strange and random musings tonight before I begin working on my verbatim for tomorrow. Thanks for being here.
