War brings destruction in the strangest ways
There is nothing wrong with being against war. I will always stand tall against death and destruction no matter how maligned that very concept is in this current age. Somehow, the idea of supporting "peace efforts" has been villified to the likes of being an enemy combatant. This seems to definatly be the result of the constant pounding of this hatred against different view points by hyper patriotic, yet often military avoidant, talk show lemmings. A little news story; about an element of rocket fuel being found in breast milk of mothers in eighteen different states, by scientists from the Texas Tech University's Institute of Environmental and Human Health; made me reassure my position on being against war. Especially since, this strange aberration in breast milk was the result of leaks and spills of perchlorate (used in rocket fuel) into the lower Colorodo River by defense industry giant Kerr-McGee.
The Bush administration may have their photo-ops with Iraqi women waving their purple fingers, but here at home, women can not even count on their own breast milk being safe for their babies. This chemical, perchlorate, has thyroid-impairing effects on developing brains, basically resulting in a child with a lower I.Q. The Bush administration has put negligible effort into regulating enviornmental standards, especially for corperations that are part of the war machine in general such as Kerr-McGee. This is a clear example of how war can have an effect on the least probable victims, newborn babies.
We hear a lot about the "culture of life" and such from the Bush administration and plenty about "saving the fetus" from the religious right who support the administration. Somehow though, you will never hear a syllable about the dangers that a defense industry plant can have on human beings from the "pro-life" zombies that crawl around abortion clinics screaming "don't kill me I'm a baby". Will the cable television "man of god" ever speak about what an environmentally apathetic administration is doing to our health and our children?? The answer is no. The Bush administration and their followers are a bunch of hypocrites. I will continue to point out each inconsistancy of their psyche and how they really do not believe in anything other than death and destruction.

The Bush administration still follows a consistant thread...to create confusion and fear in order to control for their own purpose. All these divisionary tactics work.
Right now everyone is so busy defending themselves that we lose clarity and focus, practically ignoring how our country is being run. When people start to wake up and try to take control back, we will be so divided that we will not be able to maintain order anymore. We forgot how to compromise, care, live and let live, etc. In essence, be mature individuals able to work together in relative harmony.
I just signed up to be a Big Sister in my community. I can't deal with this anymore. It is time to heal what we can so we have a fighting chance after the next four years.

Jared, it may come as a big surprise to you but conservatives aren't caricatures. Your piece doesn't make that much sense to begin with but you really should try and meet people with different opinions so that you can see they're real people. It seems Ralph, in his zeal to call everyone who disagrees with him a Nazi, should do the same.
