What are Democrats thinking??

Well, we voted in a Democratically controlled Congress and Senate, showing the nation that indeed the American people are unhappy with the direction of the country, and that we don't want our sons and daughters dying in the Middle-East. Our Democratic leaders aren't even in power yet though and what are we hearing from them, talk of bringing back a draft...a draft that would target men and women between the ages of 18 and 42! For GOD'S sake, what are these people thinking!!??

Do they really think that a country that has said in poll after poll that we DO NOT WANT A WAR, that we'll just sit still and calmly accept a draft...a draft that would not only tear children from their parents, but possibly parents from their children? While by the time this draft could be enacted, I would be outside the proposed age limits, my wife would not, and my son will be turning 17 in just six months. No power on GOD'S green earth will send either my wife, or my son to a foreign country to die for George Bush's folly!! The United States government can go to HELL before I'll let that happen. The leaders of this country had better start listening to the will of the people in this country, or we're going to have to resort to extreme measures to make sure that the government of this country is indeed representative of the peoples' will.

A first step in the right direction...

Well, Voters have spoken, and spoken loudly...Democrats have taken control of the House, and the Senate. The question now is, will Those we've given the power to in a fair and democratic election process, take the reins and use that power as they've been promising to for the past 18 months?

Let's hope so. This could be the beginning of repairing the holes that have been eaten into our democratic fabric after the post-9/11 hysteria. While I still don't see us getting out of Iraq immediately (we've created too big a mess there for that!) I do at least now see a light at the end of the tunnel, whereas before I saw little hope that we would ever dis-entangle ourselves from the chaotic mess that Iraq has become.

In the upcoming weeks, we'll have to keep a close eye on the out-going Republicans, making sure they don't sneak something in before the shift of power. Then, we'll have to keep an even closer eye on those we've put into power, to make sure they don't abuse it!

Science fiction has taught the world nothing

Check out this disturbing info. Apparently Samsung isn't content with making home electronics. They've built a robotic killing machine which they'll be putting on the DMZ between North and South Korea next year. Apparently when military leaders around the world saw the movie "Terminator", instead of thinking, "now there's something we need to avoid for the sake of the world," instead they must be thinking, "Wow! We've got to have one of those!"
