This is ganked from my sister LJ. Sorry I'm too lazy to write about greece (since i just did three days ago and really there is nothign else to say.. I'm just in argos for the gyros). A few notes to understand it. My sister was on her way to work in tower two of the trade center on 9/11 and actually got there to see them on fire. Two- we're really different but I've never found a paragraph she wrote that I agreed with more than this one:
Everyone in the US is flipping their sh-t about terrorism, which I find not funny per say but rather ridiculous. I mean as someone who went through what I went through (& I was one of the VERY lucky ones) at the tender age of 22, I am somewhere between wanting to laugh and to slap people in teeny tiny towns in Podunk Arkansas that are freaking out about the orange alert thing. When this bullsh-t returns to New York, which we all know it probably will, if it doesn’t get me this time around, I would like to personally thank every single idiot who reelected our idiot President. I mean, seriously, it’s like morons vote for Pres Pretzel Choke, I do campaign work for Kerry, MoveOn, etc and when it’s that time again, it is much more likely that I or someone I love will be left holding the bag like a total a$$hole based solely upon the homophobic rantings and fantasyland paranoia of some hicks in a bunch of red states who are clearly convinced that someone with a name they could only dream of pronouncing is fixated with their two stoplights and feed store. I mean is it a coincidence that every place in the US that was either directly affected by 9/11 or is a major population center voted the other way??? Call me a crazy liberal, but I read books and the foreign press and think that the Administration totally f-cked up and could have prevented 9-11 or at least handled it better. I mean, no one has written a book entitled: 9-11, What The Administration Did Right and Why We’re Better Off Today. But, being a crazy liberal, I also believe that the government should give schoolchildren books and old people medicine instead of like fighting another war that means nothing and seems to exist solely for the purpose of making me worry about my friends who are serving their SECOND tour over there. But seriously, this country is getting so ridiculous and so nearsighted about so many things that it is seriously difficult to watch even CNN without wanting to projectile vomit.
And lastly, from me, greece is good. It was about 105 degrees the other day. This weather is making 90 deg. seem like a cold spell.
