but i woke this morning, and went about my business. and then i read the paper. there it was, right there, on the front page. WAR. not that i wasn’t expecting it. i guess i am just very disappointed that there was not, and will not be another alternative.
ironically, i wore my rosie the riveter t-shirt today, with the “we can do it!” slogan on it.
it scares me the kind of world i brought new life into. not that my world was ever all that safe. but it was safer. i did grow up when not even the streetlights coming on meant it was time to come in, because my neighborhood was like that. it was cool to be out till midnight on a warm summers night with no supervision. i wont even let my 11 year old brother & sister out at 3 pm.
it just really bothers me. i am not even going to go off and pass judgement. you all know how i feel about king george the second, and how i feel about our [need for] armed forces in general. and if you don’t, you either haven’t known me long enough or haven’t been paying attention. i am not even going to go off and explain my position.
i just thought i’d share that first bit tho. it really does make me sad.
and yet, i wouldn’t want to live in any other country. my own private, unmapped island maybe, but that withstanding, no place else.
