I'm genuinely interested in talking intelligently to someone who believes in the Bush doctrine. It seems so obviously bad to me that I can't see how people are blinded. Like I've maintained, the day Shrub said, "Either you're with us or you're for the terrorists" I saw America take a two-wheeled turn onto the highway to hell.
When I get out of the world and get into trees things are just fine. But what kind of world will it be when no one can afford to take care of trees? I don't say that because I might be out of a job. There will be a lot of people who will be out of work before me. There already are. My brother got laid off from a telecom company in Dallas and was out of work long enough that he lost his house. Gone, foreclosed. He moved into a one bedroom apartment. How is the world safer for him and his girls? Wouldn't the world be safer if we had a sound economy?
In a word, yes. But I guess that's what the Bush doctrine people think they are providing by controlling all the world's oil. So maybe the question is, "Wouldn't the world be safer if every country had a sound economy - and every citizen reaping the benefits?" And then maybe we could try to work at it from there.
Maybe?
