Are there any Bush supporters left on OKC? Read this journal entry
and tell me if you can see the way the wind is blowing, if you
approve, and why.
It turns out the same day that he signed the abominable
Military
Commissions Act into law, Bush also signed the
John Warner
Defense Authorization Act, which removes limitations on the
circumstances under which the President can declare martial law in
the states.
You combine this with the MCA, the
National Security Surveillance Act, and the recent
administration admission
that detainees are being tortured and I am quickly becoming
much more afraid of my government that I've ever been of
terrorists.
Those of you who are opposed to the way Bush is doing things, I
implore you to not wait until 2008 for the problem to "fix itself".
Find out if there's an incumbent congressperson for your district
running for office and check out their
voting record to see if they are supporting the atrocious
assault on our liberties and the Constitution. Find out where the
candidates stand and vote your conscious, so by 2084 it doesn't
look like 1984.

I do appreciate the compliment, though. I think I might do well in college and I hope to be enrolled next semester, but I still don't know what I'd want to pursue. I have an obvious interest in politics, but I think I might be either too idealistic or too cynical to make a happy and semi-prosperous career of it.
I just realized that I spelled "conscience" as "conscious", blah.
