No you are not alone, this is a firestorm and the GOP is down to mere hours in which to put it out. I bash Bush/GOP here over this and that because well this is there i can safely blow steam. But in the world I fought every day for votes for Bush and the GOP, and since I own a bar and I am respected I can sway more then one or two. And like you if this stands I am finished.
What really gets me is this "starvation euphoria" B.S. Remember the "We Are The World" fund-raiser and all the rest over the years with the heartbreaking photos of starving children in Ethiopia and Rwanda, etc. We are constantly bombarded with guilt over their plight and the tragedy and pain of their situation. And it is tragic. Not once has anyone said they were all in a harmonious, beautiful, euphoric situation...But apparently in this era they're the envy of the rest of us as it's now the in thing and very peaceful to go without food or water. Who's really buying it?
