Spend a day in Ethiopia. Spend a week in one of the islands in the Carribean where 90% of the houses were destroyed by the flurry of hurricanes. Spend a month in the Colombian rainforest without being killed by guerilla fighters simply for being white. Then, you'll be thanking whomever you happen to worship that you live in a country run where even President Bush was voted into office, instead of overtaking it at the point of an M16.

I think things need to get much worse before they get better. One can certainly expect that with this Super Bowl Victory of the Gang of Four (Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfield).

Although I've already begun to hear about how they have to "moderate" in terms of gay marriage, abortion, etcetera... Come on, Kerry wouldn't even give an honest answer on either of those. *grumble grumble* The governator.. :-\

Today I read two articles, one from the Washington Times, and another on the BBC website about the US dollar's plunge against other world currencies, namely the Canadian dollar and the Euro, the Canadian dollar, which by the way is 83 cents to the US dollar, whereas only a month ago is was at only 75 cents to the US dollar. As this trend continues, infation will get out of hand to the point where we will be paying six to seven dollars per gallon, and of course everything else will soon follow suit. As this trend continues, governments throught the world who now have the US dollar as their back-up currency, will be switching over to the Euro as their back-up currency, and when this trend starts to kick in, it will only spell disaster for the US economy. Meaning that the US will be broke, hence no more money for premptive wars and occupations, a good thing, and no more money for healthcare, jobs, and education, a real bad thing. Not to mention the possibility of a series Al Qieda terrorist attacks here in the good ol US of A. We are all in for one hell of a nasty ride. Bill Welsh Angela:

In a way, you're lucky. At least you can recognise your opponents. We thought we voted for a left-of-centre government in the UK, and they still went into Iraq and filled the airwaves with lies and spurious justifications. There's nothing like a Labour government for outright betrayal. Imagine how it'd be if Gore was president and you'd still gone into Iraq!
