Ok, so apparently, people do pay attention. Whether you agree with me or not, you have to pay attention. It's very important for everyone to be informed. I now wonder where my opinions used to come from. Once upon a time I was a minah bird for everything I heard my mother say. In high school it was the same, but from my peers. It is only recently, now that I've started researching the issues for myself, that I can proudly declare and defend my points of view. If you have an opinion at least know why you have it.
And now for my opinion. I was discussing the Presidential address with my coworkers and instead of staying on topic she changed it. I am going to assume it was because she had no argument, no valid reason for feeling the way she did. So - she brought up Katrina. And I lit into her. Her argument was ludicrous. Apparently, there is a rumor going about that the levies in New Orleans were blown up. Huh? That's dumb. It stems from the whole Bush hates black people debate. However - don't you think if Bush wanted all of those people dead EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULD BE DEAD? And no one would ever know what happened. So, just the mere fact that they are alive - and the SEVENTEEN BREECHES - proves that that theory is utterly preposterous.
And thank you to everyone who left me a comment, good or bad. Keep it up. It keeps me on my toes and forces me to research my issues even further.
On the more personal side, I am freezing my ass of right now. It is soooo cold inside this clinic!!
