Greetings, I will, and do, support the efforts of the ROL. When the time seems right, I will at the very least write my Senators and Representative. I wrote to them in support of Tibet, the monks and the Dalai Lama. But I don't think those I wrote care a bunny's bottom what I think. When you claim that the U.S. only supports freedom when it's in its best interest, I disagree. I think the U.S. only supports what is in the best interest of those holding office and the corporations that pay for their campaigns and increase their bank accounts, and it's screw the average citizen. Democrats and Republicans talk, talk, talk. That's all, just move their lips. And I'm not enamored with the young, cute, black, sweet talker, either. Talk, talk, talk... This will be just another election where I will vote for the person I hope will do the least amount of harm to working people and the Constitution. Until George Bush, Dick Cheney and friends are doing time in a Baghdad prison, I see no hope for justice or the American Dream. After 9/11 I received an anonymous email showing BinLaden performing sodomy on GWB. At first I laughed (I never found gwb competent or charming), and then I got mad. But after 7 years of Bush&friends screwing the American people, with the full participation of the Congress, I have totally lost faith in all of them. Marsha Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars...
