I'm going to a protest this morning. It doesn't have anything to do with the President or his fascist regime, but I will be in Downtown Miami, which has many federal buildings.

I plan on keeping my copy of the constitution in my pocket.

Stumbled onto your page, but was fascinated by this blog. In the past week, I've see Pres Bush on ESPN interviewing with one of the newscasters about his plans after presidency. Apparently he may be buying or taking over a sports team. All he could comment was that he had a lot to think about.
It made me rather annoyed that with all he's been able to destroy in his reign of terror, he has the time to be on the sports channels having a good old time and paving the way for his future after he's no longer allowed to have the final word in a lot of political actions.

I'm always interested in what the opinions are of those living outside of the states. I've only been told so far that everyone pretty much agrees that he's the most horrendous waste of space ever, and that he's even given a bad name to the victimized citizens of his reign.

I'm actually American, so maybe it hits closer to home for me than to others who aren't. But I have to say that I definitely learned to see the world in a different way after leaving America. Everyone in the rest of the world is so much better informed of world affairs in comparison. Australia's current government loves to follow America's lead in a lot of ways, including anti-terror laws, but I still see it as a much less right-wing place. The majority of the population are not in favour of the war and all that comes with it.
