i'm not sure i can say it better than
phreddid.
which is one of the many reasons i'm going to the protest this evening.
because torture doesn't work.
because warrantless wiretapping is illegal, and should have remained so.
because force-feeding a people a governing system by blowing up their infrastructure is not something i support in a commander-in-chief.
because people who believe different things are still people.
because giving money to charity is not an act of war, and the people who do so are not "enemy combatants"
because i think we should stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on military destructive power, and start spending enough on things like education, scientific research, and oh, i don't know, making sure everybody in the richest country in the world has enough to eat and a place to sleep?
i'm sure i will come up with some more later...
