Tired and disappointed

I usually try to stay out of the political fray of things via my blog, but I just feel incredibly angry and despondent over the state of our country's leadership today. My God!! Ruth Ginsburg finds herself on the heals of retirement having to go back 20 years to defend woman's rights. How frustrated she must be.

Republican representatives that have their heads up their asses on global warming who actually think they are representing the people's desires.

I have never felt more interest in getting the hell out of America...but, you know what?? This is MY country too. This country has been held hostage by out of touch human beings that control and manipulate what we hear and what we see. How many pictures of the destruction of Iraq have you seen lately? We are completely desensitized from the reality of the horrid destruction we have created in Iraq. All based in the fear propaganda of the Bush administration. Weapons of Mass Destruction...none to be found. Restructure of a new democratic Iraq...never close to being realized. Billions and Billions of dollars spent with no results. Thousands of American and Iraqi lives lost for what. And STILL an ego centric man too proud to admit his gross error by doing everything possible to bring brave, young, soldiers home. NO MORE needless deaths should be happening.

The deaths at Virginia Tech were horrible beyond belief...yet, how many lives were lost in Iraq on that same day??? Our media is so far removed from reporting reality I can't stomach watching TV or listening to the radio any more. No one seems to be held accountable for their actions anymore. The media has dissected every possible person that can be held reasonable for the massacre at Virginia Tech. The teachers, the health care providers, the sellers of guns. I would just like to see the same intense scrutiny of our leaders responsibility of the deaths in Iraq.

Global warming is no longer a discussion in the progressive European countries. They are past debating whether it is actually happening and focusing on finding solutions. Let me ask this question: What do we have to loose by focusing on saving the environment??? I really, really, really hope scientist are all wrong on Global Warming. Even if they are, how does saving the planets Eco system become a bad thing to work on repairing??? I am astonished at representatives of our country, such as Karl Rove, who can state "I work for the American people" http://www.comcast.net/entertainment/index.jsp?cat=ENTERTAINMENT&fn=/2007/04/22/643434.html&cvqh=itn_crow

when clearly they don't listen to scientific proof http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26065-2004Dec25.html What American people is he talking about? I've not meet one.

I would love to hear about an extensive survey on the American peoples views, i.e. "yes" or "no" on do you believe global warming is a reality. Of course all surveys can be tainted by the survey givers motives, but maybe several different companies could produce such and present it to the nay sayers of our governmental body and say "here is the American peoples wishes, get to work on doing what you were voted in to do".

Enough of my rant. Back to reality..........
