Alex King has a very interesting link here. It brings up some interesting points about the American belief system. Please read it. I really like the portion about Theodore Roosevelt’s feeling about America’s entry in World War I, “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,” Roosevelt said, “is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” I just feel that is more American than the people who say that we can not criticize the Government.
just a little thing..

So I am not always about ranting and raving. I went sailing yesterday, it was a beautiful day. The water and the wind made the day great. I felt nice and relaxed, I loved being able to get away from thinking about the war. It was wonderful. I took the picture on the left from the dock near Pac Bell Park. The water was like glass. It was so calm. The photo below was taken of me on the deck of the ‘Thaos’. Well I once I finish the gallery I post a series of photos. Got to go… Later, B

So I am just sitting around watching the war. That is all that seems to be on. I really wish I had more choices on my cable box. So instead I am going to do some work on my website, I am going to clean my office up and if the weather clears up, go for a ride. I really like the nice relaxing mornings to my things. I just looked into one of the drawers in my desk, yeah.. I really need to do something. I need to organize my crap. Well, nothing really new…

Micheal Moore wrote a letter on his site to President Bush. I have to say that Micheal Moore has some guts. Any way.. I am just sitting at work waiting for the war to start. I just can’t believe that we are going back to war with Iraq. I just love some facts that have come about with this Oil War:

#1 – Halliburton wins contract to rebuild Iraqi oil fields
Washington — A company tied to Vice President Dick Cheney has won a Pentagon contract for advice on rebuilding Iraq’s oil fields after a possible war ?
-San Francisco Chronicle, 3/8/03, Edward Epstein, ?Firm linked to Cheney wins oil-field contract?

#2 – Number of congressmen with a child in the military: 1 (NOTE: ENLISTED RANKS)
? Yet the Congress that voted overwhelmingly to allow the use of force in Iraq includes only one member who has a child in the enlisted ranks in the military ? just a few more have children who are officers?
-New York Times, 12/31/03, Charles B. Rangel, ?Bring Back the Draft.?

#3 – Bush advisers planning Iraq war since 1998
Years before George W. Bush entered the White House, and years before the Sept. 11 attacks set the direction of his presidency, a group of influential neo-conservatives hatched a plan to get Saddam Hussein out of power. ?
-ABC News Nightline, March 10, 2003

Well, anyway.. just some food for thought…
Later,
I hope….
