The death is no less devastating even though you knew it was inevitable.<br />Psychologists say there are all these steps one has to go through till you get to acceptance. <br />I suppose they're right but I'm not at acceptance yet. At least when it comes to my country.<br />"Give me Liberty or give me death."<br />"Those who give up essential liberty for security deserve neither."<br />"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."<br />"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for you country."<br />Disappear me?<br />Not as long as there are others that can read the above words and carry on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-6108255408582366612006-10-04T23:26:00.000-07:002006-10-04T23:26:00.000-07:00The fact that I've seen this coming for a long tim...The fact that I've seen this coming for a long time doesn't make it easier to watch. Like all such power grabs it will see very selective use at first and won't apply to "ordinary" people for a while - yet. It is a powerful tool for those in power to stay in power.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-54182384149146943922006-10-03T15:19:00.000-07:002006-10-03T15:19:00.000-07:00Swim, It's not paranoia if they're really after yo...Swim, It's not paranoia if they're really after you. I re-read Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" every decade or so. My last time (2 years ago) I found the parallels between "The Rise" part and Bushco truly frightening. Shirer stressed how every step of the Nazi takeover was done through legitimate means. If it wasn't legal, they got it made legal, then went ahead and did it. And to think the U.S. is starting from such a more powerful beginning than Germany did.<br /><br />I wonder if the Canadians in my woodpile will entitle me to seek citizenship up north?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-50510863697005343742006-10-03T00:11:00.000-07:002006-10-03T00:11:00.000-07:00We've been heading for this since the first citize...We've been heading for this since the first citizens were banned from attending a Bush event because they wore the wrong t-shirt or had the wrong bumper sticker on their car or were denounced by a Republican apparatchik.<br /><br />I keep asking my sister, who lives near DC, if the Washington Monument has bowed down in shame yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-21314836201037658922006-10-03T00:09:00.000-07:002006-10-03T00:09:00.000-07:00Shoe...you are a girl I would go out and look for....Shoe...you are a girl I would go out and look for.

It seemed a possiblity to me after the 2004 election. It is , obviously, a real possibility now. And, unlike Bob and WM Rivers Pitt, I am scared for myself. Glad I've saved all my protest signs from the past 3-1/2 years. If I end up disappeared, there will be documentation that, at least, I tried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
