It's only a black box

No, this thing below does not signify I endorse The Black Bloc. It's just a representation of the way I felt. Feel.

The city was pretty weird today. Lot's of hatred out there folks. I realize passive, non-violent protest didn't stop the war from starting. And I also understand people are now incensed by the way our government refuses to hear the very large contingent of Americans opposed to this war. I'm pissed too. Well, that's not true. I'm not angry so much as I feel sick. Maybe I'm a whuss. That's probably it.

It just boggles my mind how the concept of 'decapitation strikes' is semantically valid in less than 24 hours. Without any debate. We, as a country, actually have a no assassination policy. But because our leadership has decided to embark on an imperialistic war, it's now OK to off the top echelon.

I don't believe Hussein has a decent bone in his body. Given his past atrocities, it would be hard to think otherwise. But our government, in it's bloodlust for this man, is running down everything decent and moral about our country's foreign and domestic policies. I know - this isn't news. It still makes me sick.
