2000th fatality - protest at the federal bldg 4:30pm 10/26
well, it finally happened: the 2000th american servicemember killed in iraq since the 2003 invasion. if this upsets you, you might wanna go to the federal bldg in downtown fort worth (east or throckmorton side) and let ppl know how you feel.
this from local poet / performance artist tammy gomez:
Tomorrow--Wednesday. 4:30pm and on from there.
Bring your banners/candles/handmade signs/
and cameras/camcorders (we'll need documentation, espec. if we
get hassled...).
This is a legal gathering; we intend for it to be a nonviolent action as well.
Please spread the word---soon.
We have to restore the balance, not only for "red state" Texas, but for the
planet and its inhabitants as a whole.
Perpetuating militarism in the name of corporate profits and blind nationalism
is only hurting us, our neighbors, the earth...
See you tomorrow.
amor y rabia,
Tammy

patriotism = QUITE good and maybe even healthy
blind nationalism = VERY bad and VERY unhealthy
blind nationalism under the guise of patriotism = A LOT of what we're seeing today
sheesh, i shoulda stayed in bed....
I am surrounded by three dictionaries here in my darkened space with flashing skeltons and candles and incense. I peered into these dictionaries and looked up the word "patriotism." Nowhere, anywhere did I see the term,"blindly following the village idiot." At the very least, George W. should be impeached and cast from office. Then maybe some trials from obvious war crimes. Then, perhaps he could be thrown in the same cell as Saddam. Heck, they may even get along with the exception of the language barrier. Saddam probably speaks better English.
