I'm starting to calm down... and I must say, that I am sincerely scared for the nation, and the rest of the world. I don't blame Bush for 9/11, but I do blame him for what happened since then. And I blame him for the things that are happening inside the military. And I don't support his beliefs.... I don't like that he is trying to get "religion"(read as CHRISTIANITY) back into places where it doesn't belong. I don't agree with his "plan" to fix those who are jobless... I come from WA state, a logger place, and the industry got put down because... well, spotted owls! I marched against that when I was only 10 yeasr old!! Was on the news... what they did to "fix" the loggers who lost their jobs was send them to community college (what Bush wants to do) They ended up with little better than high school quality education and working either at McD's, Wal Mart or going on Welfare... which brings me to the fact that I cannot tolerate Bush's views on welfare, women's RIGHTS (that's right, I said it... women should be able to choose!) I am *personally* against abortion, but I would never presume to tell someone else what to do! That is a Christian based thing, and I am not a Christian... ohhh... okay, guess I'm not cooled off... sorry, I'm against Bush on so many levels, that I actually cried this morning ....

'Manda (as I used to call my best freind Amanda from high school) - You are close to ground zero and I can now see the capitol building outside of my office window - I too, am glad that the country is safer today than it was on September 10, 2001! Election day 2004 - not a bad day!

I agree that those of us who were close to an attack on 9/11 have strong opinions on national security. I was still a junior in college (Bucknell in PA) on 9/11/2001, but my brother ran for his life that day and thankfully was okay. He worked in the world financial building, adjacent to the WTC. My other brother and my sister in law were also in NYC that day. I thank God every day that they are all okay, and I am SERIOUS about making sure it never happens again. That's why I couldn't vote for someone who as a senator voted to cut military spending.

--PS, I read your profile. You have my best friend's dream job. Also I'm just curious how the climate was in your office today -- I find the Human Rights field to be somewhat dominated by the Left. Would you agree? Were you odd-man-out?

I'm surprised that New York voted for Kerry. Why do you think that was. You'd think more New Yorkers would have AmandaPanda's views.
I'm just curious...

I've just finished reading this thread, and I am so glad to be a part of a chat board that can express different opinions civilly!! Yesterday was eye opening as a watcher! I think it is sad that such a role is necessary, but it IS!! I was there on my feet 14 hours, giving up a personal day of work for NO PAY, and would gladly do it again! Ours is a small community and our state carried Bush easily by a large margin, but it was because of a lot of hard work and sacrifice!
We live in a GREAT country ladies!! As long as we are involved, learning, voting based on our beliefs and educatin ourselves on issues...that's what it's all about no matter what side of the isle you vote on! BRAVO to all of us!!

At least it is only a 4 year term. In other countries it is sometimes much more.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
