The Peaceful Occupation of Iraq Day 6

Day 6 of the Peaceful Occupation of Iraq began early this morning when people in cars drove by our camp a few times and blasted on their horns. I just assume they were blaring their approval of us.
Before we get to the less than negative things that are happening out at Camp Casey and in the world at large today, over 700 people showed up at the Camp today. There were more people, flowers, cards, mail, interviews, laughter, heartache, comraderie, excitement, and just sheer work.
We had the first birthday party tonight at our little event. Alicia from Austin turned 17 today and they came to Crawford to celebrate with a cake. Alicia said that she wanted to be out here for her birthday. So many great people from so many parts of the country and our world are here.
CindySheehan's diary :: ::
Today is kind of a blur to me. From running around from interview to interview, to getting a visit from Viggo Mortensen, today was a whirlwind of activity. I have discovered that the White House press corps is always looking for something to do and someone to cover. We have been happy to oblige them. We had a press conference today with Gold Star Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out members. It was very effective when people who actually have skin in the game ask the president to be held accountable for the words he has actually said.
Still putting out the O'Reilly fires of me being a traitor and using Casey's name dishonorably, my in-laws sent out a press conference disagreeing with me in strong terms; which is totally okay with me, because they barely knew Casey. We have always been on separate sides of the fence politically and I have not spoken to them since the elections when they supported the man who is responsible for Casey's death. The thing that matters to me is that my family: Casey's dad and my other 3 kids are on the same side of the fence that I am.
Since Congress is not holding George Bush accountable and the media is not doing their jobs and holding George Bush accountable, we the American people need to hold him accountable for lying to us to get us into a disastrous war. November 2 2004 was not his accountability moment: today is. We are finished allowing him to get away with deceiving the American public and abusing his power.
We are mad as hell and we're not taking it anymore.
"The world of a BP(a person with Borderline Personality), like that of a child, is split into heroes and villains. A child emotionally, the BP cannot tolerate human inconsistencies and ambiguities; he cannot reconcile anther is good and bad qualities into a constant coherent understanding of another person. At any particular moment, one is either Good or EVIL. There is no in-between; no gray area....people are idolized one day; totally devalued and dismissed the next. Normal people are ambivalent and can experience two contradictory states atone time; BPs shift back and forth, entirely unaware of one feeling state while in the other."

"Lack of Object Constancy: When we're lonely, most of us can soothe ourselves by remembering the love that others have for us. This is very comforting even if these people are far away-sometimes, even if they're no longer living. This ability is known as object constancy. Some people with BPD, however, find it difficult to evoke an image of a loved one to soothe them when they feel upset or anxious. If that person is not physically present, they don't exist on an emotional level."

"Narcissistic Demands: Some people with BPD frequently bring the focus of attention back to themselves. They may react to most things based solely on how it affects them."

Viggo Mortensen On The Big Screen In David Cronenberg’s New Thriller
The 47-year-old actor Viggo Mortensen returns to the big screen with a brand new project, after his movie "Hidalgo" flopped at the box office.
Viggo Mortensen stars in "A History of Violence", David Cronenberg’s latest thriller, which was a critical success at the Cannes Film Festival, and set for release in 10 markets on September 23 before expanding wide on September 30.
And they wonder why we don't go see their movies?
WHAT???
I thought they were separated over her traitorous actions.
I thought another son wants to enlist in the military.
If what she is saying is true, the military should reject him.
We have always been on separate sides of the fence politically and I have not spoken to them since the elections when they supported the man who is responsible for Casey's death.
Iraqi's killed her son, not George Bush, maybe she should stop glorifying them as ' patriots and resistors?"
Yeah, that's what is most important. Except you said that one of your daughter's is drinking and partying too much(your words, Ms. Sheehan), and your husband is separated from you because he doesn't agree with your activities (your words, Ms. Sheehan) and you've lost all of your former friends (your words, Ms Sheehan).
