last chance
The rabid right has tried to besmirch Kerry’s military service. If you saw the Koppel report you know that what happened was factual and to have other vets with such a will-do-and-say-anything attitude to get Bush reelected is pure puke. And to say that Kerry is against the U.S. because he changed and went antiwar, well remember the times. When the people found out the truth many people took an antiwar stance. When we know better, we do better. Much of the rah-rah was simply a political diversion. Bush skirted service to his country.
Last night I was at a Halloween party. There were many 18 to 21 year old. Fresh faces striking out into the world. And all I could think of was of those that have died in Iraq. Young lives wasted.
Kerry served in a war. He knows firsthand the horror and loss. He would be hesitant and far less eager to send in troops to start a war. I have no taste for blood. No one should.
I once thought Michael Moore was a clown. I didn’t see “Bowling for Dollars” or “Farenheit911”…until recently.
He is far more sophisticated than I had imagined. He is not simply a provocateur to the far left, in a single issue way.
He is a man of ideas. “Think about this” is really what I think he is saying. He is able to take an issue and get down to what it is really about.
“Bowling for Dollars” is really about why America has so many shooting when other countries have as many guns and far less murders. It is about social issues. How the upper classes use their own lives, their means, to judge how poor people should be running their lives. The bias is an enormous compassionless chasm.
“911” gives you the facts, things you probably already knew if you are a newsy person. The poor fight our wars. That is truth. I personally know of a school that has been targeted for military recruitment. The rich feed off the poor.
The clown in this story is George Bush. A man who was unsuccessful in 4 businesses, got the governorship of a state where the governor is little more than a figurehead, then became President where the little unsuccessful man is a willing puppet for the warlike Vulcans in his cabinet. He is on top of the world, finally, the son that can say, “Dad are you proud of me now?” while begging on his knees, and he can make the have-mores his best buddies. A little man given power, a cocky strutter, when we are in war. He doesn’t even have the decorum to “act” presidential. He scares me as much as Hitler.

Recently a public building that had an inscription from FRD that included the world “Christian” had to be unetched. Instead of going for The Great Silence I urge the U.S. to encourage lots of voices. Let’s hear them all. If it erupts into a Babel just learn to be choosy and pick voices you want to hear. A well-rounded citizen will want to listen to those with opposing voices as well as those one can agree with. Start talking.
