I would like to write a Harry Potter MUD. I have played many MUDs, and Coded in Perl/CGI/C++ on and off for a few years. I feel that a Harry Potter based MUD would be a fun and exciting one. There are problems of course, but nothing that's too big to overcome, except perhaps IP issues- but I have never seen a MUD have a problem with that.

Ok, this isn't my normal thing to post here.. but I saw it, and as a cat and dog owner I thought that it was pertinant to post. It's not written by me, but credit is at the bottom. Please be good to your cats, and pay heed to what the author says. Too many times have I had to use my brakes and stop for cats. Luckly I haven't hit one, but I have came really close. I don't even think that I have hit a squirell, but have almost gotten in a few accidents avoiding them.

"Plea to Cat Owners
To an Unknown Person:

I killed your cat on Sunday. I didn't mean to kill him. He darted out in front of my car, and there was nothing I could do. I suspect that I feel more guilty than you do--you who let him wander freely, wander so innocently near the road.

You may have told yourself that a cat needs to live a "natural cat" life. A cat is a wild creature, you probably said to yourself. A cat needs to hunt, to roam, to live an adventure. You wanted him to experience those things. You wanted him, apparently, to experience rain and cold.

You must feel it important that he experience the dangers posed by dogs, by other cats, by disease. By cars. You must for some unfathomable reason have been certain that he would never try to cross the road--or perhaps consider the road to be part of the adventure equation.

I'd have to come to your house to tell you how sorry I was. But I couldn't--he wore no collar, no identification tag. You probably felt that to put tags on him would have burdened him, hindered him, endangered him.

You must have assumed that he would always find his way home, that he would never wander so far as to be lost or injured. Or perhaps you just decided that you wouldn't want to know if something awful happened to him. That was how much you loved him.

"Well at least if he was hit by a car, he went quickly...," I can hear you saying. I ran back to where he lay in the traffic- twisted, still alive, raising his head as the cars whizzed over him, waiting helplessly for the next impact. I managed to get him--still alive--to a veterinarian. Your cat died frightened and horribly injured on my wife's coat on a grate over a stainless steel sink.

I sincerely wish that you had been in the room with us. I'm sure that you so loved your cat that you would have wanted to say that you were sorry. After all, this was the fate to which you consigned your cat when you let him wander.

I don't know who you are. I suspect that you easily persuade yourself that missing your cat is all right--that he just wandered too far, and has been taken in by some kind person. Perhaps he'll be home tomorrow or the next day.

No. Your cat died and it was a horrible and entirely avoidable death. I hope that you have no other cat. That you have no dog.

I suspect that, if you do, that other cat will roam as well. I suspect that your dog--unleashed of course--will (perhaps, you know, just ever so rarely) wander into the road. And if they aren't killed by some other hazard, someone like me will inadvertently hit them while driving by, and that dog or cat, like this cat, will die in someone else's arms.

And it will, of course, be the fault of that driver. Not your fault. Of course not your fault. Oh, how much you love the last one.

Ok. To begin with, I must say that in general I am against Sadamm Hussian and his army of morons.

Ok, so we 'know' that he has nukes or something, or so the US miltary has paid people to say. But let's check our logic here.

A) Bully the UN- This seems like a good idea. We tell them that we wanna go to war with Iraq regardless of anything they say. Why does this seem like a bad idea.. We don't need their finacial support for anything. The america has a great economy right now and doesn't mind paying 30 Billion for a war.

B)Ok, we accuse Iraq of having Nukes, etc. And then we say that we have 'evidence' of them having them, which we withhold from the UN.

C) We think that the 'report' that they will give us about their Nukes will be 2000+ pages long. Hmm, either that's a whole country of Nukes, or it's a very long language.

d) if we can't find nukes- then we go to war with him for not having nukes...

Hmm, methinks he probably sold them to Bin Laden or North Korea and used the profits to get cheap whores and PS/2s.

No seriously. I think this whole thing is screwed up. How in the world is it that we can't find things in this little country. This is gonna sound wrong, but we need to take a note from the Germans in WWII. They were able to find the religion of every person and everything about them in a few years. That seems like a pretty stiff task. Now I would think that we could take a hint, and learn how to go through a country the size of Virginia, and find anything that kills people. Use the tactics that the germans used to make their neighbors tell on each other to make the Iraqi's fess up about Nukes. If none exist, well then we will know for sure... Learn from the past, don't just ignore it.

Just seriously... with modern technology, why have they seached so little? Ever try testing people for antibodies to bioweapons, or use a geigercounter?...

I think that Georgie just wants to finish a fight that his daddy wasn't the man to finish in the first place.

Crap, I just messed up and deleated everything that I just typed. Oh well, start again- more condenesed.

So I am gonna try to graudate Spring 2004, vs Spring 2005. It's gonna be hard, but would be so worth it.... Here's how:

Hours------- Where from-----
15- Transfered from UNCG and AP
16- Current Semester
3- Test out of Intro to Music Tech
3- Future Testing out of 'Writing Tools for Songwriter
17- Next semester (Spring)
16- Summer Semester (2003)
17- Fall 2003 Semester
17- Spring 2004 Semester
16- Many CLEP Exams...
----------
120- Grand Total... needed for Graduation...

Ok, so if I slip or something in all of this, at the worst I have to take summer classes, which isn't that big of a deal, as I will still have a Lease to get through the rest of....

So after that I will be able to enjoy working full time :) Yeah!.. :)
No really, I have some good plans for the future, and my girlfriend is trying to do roughly the same to get ahead early, so things may turn out well. I am not trying to rush things like school, I just need outta the area, I will probably go back to school elsewhere at some point..

Ok, so the bastards voted out rent control in Boston and the surrounding areas. They said it would bankrupt multifamily home owners, etc...

Well how about this? More people are having to move out of the city every day because they can't afford to pay 700/month per bedroom. They are being broken and starved by this inflated rent (which in some way is probably affected by the Fleet Banks in Boston).

The Mayor just wanted to limit rent inflation to 10% once a year for most housing, and 5% a year to low/low-mid income and the elderly housing.
If I am doing my math anywhere near right, 10% a year, in 11 years- is about double. Ok, so in 11 years, and $1400 dollar a month apartment would be around 2800 dollars??!?!?

They say that landlords need to keep up with inflation of costs, but really how the hell does that happen. My landlord owns about 1200+ units. He sucks cock by the way, and acts like he doesn't understand english, after graduating from BU and living here for 30+ years. Right... From what I understand, if you go to Spain or France, in a few months you would speak Spanish or French better than this guy pretend to speak english.
Anyway, more on to landlords. How are their costs going up by that much a year? Oh wait, a person's main cost in life is their housing. Hmm, so if their housing goes up by 10% a year, then they will probably charge about 10% more a year (ok they are profitting there, but just think that a little inflation really does exist).

So, if they stopped raising rent. And inflation is only something like 2% a year according to reports. Then they would only have to go up by about 2% a year.

If they capped rent for 5 years, asides from landlords not wanting to do anything, here's what would happen- Landlords and multifamily homeowners would go broke. Yea, some of them would have to find real jobs. But, at the same time, the Market would be flooded with housing for purchase, and it would start to
1) Lower the cost of housing in general to own,
2) put most people in ownership positions instead of renting positions.

I think that sounds like a good thing. Where else in the world would you pay 300,000 for 400 sq ft to own? Yea, see what I mean, it's crazy. My apartment would be 100/month or less in North Carolina, and be considered the projects. Hell the projects have more than 350+ sq ft I have.

We need another Rent protest. People must band together and form a Renters Union, and people must 'strike' from paying their rent. What will they do? Evict half the city? Arrest everyone? Obviously the power is in the people, and the people outnumber the landlords. It just feels like something is wrong and something should be done. I know I don't have all the right solutions, but I think this is a start.

Ok, now after ranting plenty, I feel much better. Thanks for listening

Ok, so now I am finding out that in addition to everything else in my life, that my dad's cancer, is probably caused by Agent Orange. Yah. I guess I have to be thankful that they didn't kill him in Vietman, but why don't they just expose him to some stuff that will make a good attempt 30 years later? Oh wait. They did!.

It just really pisses me off. Why doesn't the goverment reseach shit. It's not like we haven't been paying taxes since before this great country was formed! Just experimenting on rats or mice would have yielded results of, "This shit kills people!". It's not fucking rocket science. We could send people to the moon, but we couldn't test a fucking herbicide? Give me a break. Those goverment cocksucks just want their money and power. That's why Georgie Bush is trying to fuck us all over. He kills the ecomony, and trys to get us blown up by god knows how many countries! He's just a moron, and doesn't know how to handle anything. Why doesn't he just grab Saddam Hussain by the balls while is is over that way, and tell him that if they find any weapons of mass destruction (which don't exist according to Saddam) that they will tape Sadam and everyone who likes him to them and put a new Nuclear crater in the middle of the desert!

Why does it take 10 days or so for Sadamm to submit any weapons that he has to the UN? Isn't that what Email is for? To speed things up? He knows very well if he has any!
Couldn't he just shoot the whitehouse or UN a mail saying that they do or don't have anything.

Obviously they have something, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding them and refusing inspectors

Hell even Junis can watch movies on his Commodore 64 that he downloaded over a 28.8 line in Afganistan. Why can't Sadamm do the same? (if you don't read ./ much you won't get this one).

I hate war, and I hate our goverment at times for their stupidity. And I really hate the miltary, because they are just about all Arrogant cocksuckers who just never got past playing with GI joes.

You say that we need war and armies? Hey I am a musician, (non-rapper)musicians can live peacefully in the world at least, so why can't everyone else? Just go listen to the Beatles.

I bet the government is reading this and has me on a 'list' now... :) lol

So i am thinking of trying the digital begging thing. I saw something on CNN.com about some lady who did it and made about 20 grand I think. Even 5 grand would propel me up quite a bit at the moment. I really need to pay for school, and other things. And my living accomidations aren't that great either. Ok They suck! I share less than 350 sq ft with my roommate, my guitars, computer, etc... There' just not enough room. In addition, the place is a total shithole.

So i am thinking, all it would require would be a simple website, and domain name (no biggie), and some hosting, and my paypal account. Any ideas?
I would just be accepting donations from those who have too much money to go around. Hey it's worked before, and I am thinking if I jump on it now, I might be able to make something outta it. (perhaps i will even later donate some of the money to an open source project once most of it was allocated.)

So I am thinking... (yea always a dangerous thing) about what I would like to do for my studio at some point.
Basically, I am using this as a mobile notepad (whoa, a journal) and you can comment on. No real point is supposed to be made here..

I hope at some point within the next few years to have a nice little house, that I can build a studio setup in. Two rooms, or one large one should do fine (I will make it split into two, or just add an iso booth).
Let me also say, that I plan to buy/rent a commercial facility at some point (4-7 years). I saw a nice place, like 3000 sq ft going in Miami for like 275,000. Very nice if it was built right. I really need to take a few business classes to figure out the money flow better (loans, startup, upfront costs, taxes, income, paying myself, etc...). That studio should make me happy for the most part, but i think I will always need a home setup for my own purposes.

Well, for now though, home is all I have, and I guess I have Berklee to really use for a 'big' studio. And I guess I could call Tim over at Blink if I ever need real facilities to use (although I am kinda scared at what his hourly rate it).

Let's see, right now I think I only have like 4 main pieces of equipment. Monitors, Digi001, Sampler, and Guitar amp. Not much really. It looks much much larger than it actually is. I think my custom desk helps out.
So I am thinking, that I should get either the smallest Protools HD1 rig, or a better Mix system. Either way I will probably get the same amount of 'power' for the money, but the HD1 has the higher sample rates (which I really don't need at the moment) and will probabaly resell for more... but perhaps since the Mix systems have already dropped through the floor, they will be the better deal. Perhaps Mix->HD1 system would be the best option.
And then I am thinking, well I could always use a control surface. I don't really care for a mixer, since there's no way that I would do a professional mix without an SSL or something simalar.
One or two good preamps, a good compressor, and perhaps 3 good microphones and I would be TOTALLY set for all my input needs. Of course, that by itself probably totals for about 5 Grand. Perhaps more, depending how crazy I would get. I need a job :)
Thinking that a Mackie HUI would be a good surface for now because it rocks with PT, and fits on my desk.. Procontrol is nice, but really unneeded.
I think that I really need a great convertor too, although I think I could get away with the stock ones in the Pt interface for a while. I wouldn't mind an Appogee Trak2 for an input device.
I can see the perfect signal chain now... Great mic->Avalon->Neve Compressor->Apogee Trak2->PT.
This all seems like alot, but probably isn't more than $15K total, which really isn't... well that bad, I know 16 year olds that spend that much on cars, and geeks that spend that much on SGIs or clusters...

So new first scheme, will involve moving to Protools? I dunno. Perhaps a mix surface. It's hard to tell. I am thinking at the most, i will be able to get a grand out of this band that I am producing, but who knows. Probably more like $600 or so, which might get me a mic or something. A matched pair of earthworks would be nice.

Goal- to become self sufficient for the studio.
Problem- Noise...
The people in the apartment below are more of just potsmokers than musicians, and always complain about the bass. Too bad Boston only measures in STC for NR requirements, and not by band... Perhaps by the time that next year rolls around, I will have a different place to live in, and make music in. If it actually became profitable, I could perhaps just get one of those practice spaces near Taylor's for a studio... Hmm, more money needed. More money gained. More money, more problems...

Ok, let me preface this by the fact that I think everyone has the right to a fair day's wage, but that's all I will apologize for. :)

Ok, so the see, here (1), (2).

The Janitors in Boston are protesting. Apparently some of them only make $39 USD/day. I don't know if that's Gross or Net income per day. They also say that they are considered 'part-time' instead of full time, even though they work more. They apparently don't get benefits because of this.
While I feel sorry for them, I really don't. I feel sorry for their children and to a degree their spouses, but not them. Ok, someone needs to clean Boston buildings, but you know what you are getting into when you sign up for the job. A janitor isn't really destined to make $100/day are they?
But that's not my big deal with them... my real problem is just the fact that they are complaining.

Every day going from all the way out the B Green T line into the city, I see bums, or homeless people. These people would problably like to clean toilets and mop the floor. Sure beats freezing your ass off in the cold begging for quarters.

Again, let me say that I know we need Janitors.
But, you don't have to a janitor for your whole life. I am fresh out of High School, with little college. High School was free, handed to me, and gave me a few good things. No reason not to finish it. It's your own fault if you don't. College is costing me, but that's another issue. My point is that with only a high school education, I have worked for a few big companies/organizations and have been offered full time jobs for the most part at each.
I have worked for a major printing supply company on the east coast that does probably 65% of the printing supplies for the printers on the mid-atlantic states. I was payed there from between $7/hr for grunt work, to $25/hr+ for consulting work.
I have worked for AOL/Time Warner doing a little web page design and alot of grunt work, and some installations for $8.50/hr. I would have been given a full time (permanant) job there if it wasn't for the fact that I feel that I need college. I would have probably made at least 35K/year starting out, mininum. Some people working there for only a few months were making 65K/year. That's with full benefits.

I have also worked for a county government doing Tier II tech support as an intern. I was payed just $7/hr, but it was my first tech job and I loved it. I was given a free parking space (which I wish I had in Boston) even (Ok, North Carolina doesn't have any parking for charge...)

My point is, that with no 'higher' eduction, I have worked great jobs, and been offered good positions. If it wasn't for the fact that I want to do Audio Engineering, then I would have done them. I hate IT. :)
Community college is dirt cheap, and could have gotten these Janitor people their better jobs. Even just a HS eduction should have helped out. And they knew what they were getting into when they signed the dotted line. You Choose your career.
In addition- Boston, Love it or Leave it. I really don't see why so many of these people persist in Boston. They could move somewhere cheaper and actually live out their 'american dream'.

As a final point, other professions don't complain as much. I have many friends that are working musicians, and may only play a gig or two a week. There's no benefits there, and it sure doesn't pay well, but you don't see them in front of the Prudential Center prancing around like little faeries.

So my idea is an 'Anti Protest' Parody on the same day/time/place that they are protesting. Great signs such as:

"Fire Janitors, Hire Bums"
"Bums speak english"
"Bums don't want benefit"
"Boston Love it or Leave it"
"You Choose your Career"
"$39 buys alot of alcohol"
"Bum Salery- 1/5th Vodka a week, Janitors, three 1/2's a week"
"Dunkin Dounuts == Benefits"
"Open Source Coders want Benefits"

etc... You could also dress up as Britney Spears, Bill Gates, etc. and complain about only multiple b/millions of dollars a year. I know it's wrong, but it's so funny.

So I am thinking of dressing up for Halloween here in Boston, and probably finding a party to go to (yes people on /. do have social lives)

Well, I was at a Halloween store a few days ago, and I saw a children's costume of some Clergy member. Of course the store wasn't trying to polically incorrect, but I realized my quest then. I should dress as a Catholic Preist. I could make rude jokes all night, about wanting to find an alterboy to get down on his knees and make a confession. Yea, it's wrong, but I think it would turn some heads in Boston, and generally piss people off (which is always fun).
Yea, I have no taste...

Does anyone have any idea how good the video input is on the Geforce 4 cards that have that capability? I am just wondering if it's worth the little bit more to get the card with video input...

I HATE BOSTON. no, wait I love boston.
Ok, what's wrong with Boston you ask? Well, just about everything. For one, you have a bank, that seems to run up real estate prices. You can't hardly get a shitty condo for under 300 grand. WTF is that? How in the world are young professionals supposed to make a living or do anything? That's outragous.
My friends in NC complain about an apartment that is 400 a month. Try 1400 a month for a shithole with no AC, and weird heating.

Ok, enough ranting. What is cool about Boston? Well I guess I am at a good school. In all truthfullness, Berklee is great, but it isn't anything very special first semester. I don't think that any school is really though. I am taking classes with a bunch of morons. How do I turn on my computer, how to I plug in a 5 pin DIN cable (midi), what's a Dbdom7 chord? etc...
I really don't know how these people got in the school. I am not the best student there, but I mainly lack in the guitar department, because I am not there to play guitar. I am there for Music production and engineering. If I wanted to play guitar I would have done classical. At least in the classical world it's actually about skill and not about if your boobs are big enough, or you look like Brad Pitt.

I hate the fact that I don't have a car here. I have the T, but there are smelly, people on there :)
Actually the transportation in general here sucks. Ok, wow we have the oldest subway. Hmm, it's kinda like bragging that you have the oldest computer. Older == Sucks! DC's subway is a real subway. It's not a trolly or some crap.

Ok, for real, what's good about boston? The Food!!! There is everything here. The shopping rocks, asides from the fact that everything is so god aweful expensive.
I guess I also have great opportunties to meet some great people and do some cool things. I think i am going to NYC this weekend to Guitar Tech for a guy I know. That's pretty cool. Umm, there are alot of guitars and great gear here to want (not buy, I have no money due to rent). DSL is fairly cheap here, but when you consider that you are just getting 768/128 it sucks. I want my Road Runner Back!!! With RR I could get a 4/2 connection if I wanted. Hell in some areas I could get a 10mb, 40mb, or even 100mb connection. IT would cost me, but at least I wouldn't crawl along at 768k.

Verizon sucks, that's all I have to say. Sprint service sucks up here too. At home in little olde Greensboro NC, my service worked everywhere, and in most buildings. It doesn't work in my apartment, on the T, between buildings, when the planets are alined wrong, or at school. Grr.
The Microcenter here sucks too. They don't carry enough stuff, or keep anything in stock. They have the shittiest video card selections that I have ever seen.

And Languages?!?!!? Why the hell would you
a) Go somewhere you didn't know the language, and didn't want to learn it
b) Go somewhere that's so freaking expensive to live
c)Not try to make your own country better?

I personally, won't go to countires that I can't fluently speak the language. Ok, so this limits me to England, Australilia, Scotland, Ireland, a few islands, Canada, and the USA, but that's cool with me. If one of those countries couldn't make me happy, then nothing could. I also wouldn't move to the 2nd most expensive place in the world (Boston). In fact, as soon as I have that Degree in hand, I am moving somewhere that $200K can get you something really nice, people speak english, people shower, and you don't have to watch to not step on bums in the street. And why the hell do people piss in the hallways and on the T? Everything smells like piss here!!!

Berklee rocks, just why can't it be in another city/state/or even in California!!!

So, I wanted to get a new Video Card. So I first am checking out the Geforce 3 ti500, because it's a sweet card, but then I realize I need a 2nd card for dual monitor support. Didn't want 2 cards...

So I looked up the Geforce 4 4200 ti. Nice card. I found an auction for one, bid, and won. Got it for a little over 100 dollars. Cool!

Well the fun starts when I get it. Apparently, the heatsink had broken off midshipping, and brokens a few parts off the PC board. Wow, that sucks. USPS didn't wanna hear it, because the external box was fine...

Thankfully, the seller "gsboriqua" is cool with me sending it back to him, and him refunding me!!! Awesome!

My only fear is now that he won't refund me the money, i feel he will refund it, but I always have a little fear.
I hope he refunds me shipping too!!!
Hopefully there won't be a part II to this journal...

Well, I am packing and getting ready to take a train soon to Boston. Fun!

I am also in the process of building a new desk for my studio (aka, bedroom).

It will have 11 rack spaces on each side where the drawers of a desk normally are, and 4 on the top on each side, where speakers normally go. So I will have 30 spaces total of rackspace to screw around with. I am thinking of putting a cabling ladder from side to side under the desk. I would probably just make it out of some extra metal racking that I have.

I should be able to post pictures soon, but I can't find the digital cam in all this moving, it's probably in a box somewhere. If anyone needs more information on the desk feel free to comment, or email me. It's cost me about $200 total, perhaps a bit more because I had to buy a few tools (sawblade, drillbits, paint, screws, etc...) But it's worth it compaired to dumping a few hundred or a grand on a ArgoSys or Omnirax desk.

You know what? I am tired of Sept 11th. Whoop De Do da fricking day, worse things have happened in the world!!!
We think that we are so touched by terrorism, but we aren't.
Look to Isreal, that's terrorisim. We just get some crap because we are in the way. We don't have 10-20 people killed daily from terrorisim. 3000 people killed in a building attack is a big deal, but look at us, we bombed Hiroshima AND Nagasaki. We killed thousands.
We ignored what was happening in Europe during WWII until we were drug into it by being attacked by Japan. Otherwise we would have ignored the whole thing.

George Bush now just wants to play like his daddy, and have the war that his daddy didn't finish. He is the worst president ever. My stocks have plummeted since he came into office. I didn't really like Clinton, but at least he didn't drive us into the dirt.
How the hell can a President screw up the economy even during Wartime? Look at WWII! Our stockmarket went through the roof! That's what it should be doing right now. But instead, under Bush we can't find who is even mailing letters with germs in them! We are wasting money on violating a "person of interest"'s rights! We are spending money on having a 'list' of people they we think might commit crimes.

And all of this is under the glory of the Patriot Act. I have never heard of such a large oxymoron. It's against everything that this country has ever stood for.

Remember Sept 11th. Sure I will I can't forget it since it's mentioned on the news every 30 seconds! I see people with their cars with flags all over them, making their cars look retarded, not good. You want to know how to show your patriotism? Write your congressman! Tell them to get rid of the Patriot Act. They them to tell the RIAA and MPAA off, and get rid of the DCMA. We can't have a country like this.
Also remember all the terrible things that we have done, and keep doing. I bet we will kill over the number of innocents in our 'wartime' efforts against terror in the mideast that were killed in Sept 11th.
We have stood by and let thousands of Japanesnse be killed, we have killed thousands of innocents in Vietnam, we watch real terrorism on the news in Isreal and do nothing, we allow the 2nd Hollocaust to occur in Europe around Solviakia recently, and did little about it.

It's also Amercian's ancestors that killed the Indians. Hitler himself saw the Americans as a Model for how to get rid of a whole race. The only thing is that we for the most part suceeded, while Hitler wasn't able to kill anywhere near that many people.
Look at the way that America did slavery. It was totally different than the way that other countries had done it before. It was mainly serifdom, paying off debts, and it was voluntary. According to the Bible, you should hold no man against his debts for more than 7 years, and no man in slavery for more than 7 years. Amercians who say they know their Bible, really only know what the Baptists redneck racists and womanhating minister has told them. They don't read and think for themselves. They don't forgive, they don't forget. If one of us is killed, it's worth the blood of 500 of them.
Look, recently we killed a few hundred of people 'accidentally' when we 'accidentally' dropped bombs and shot at them in the mid east. You know what we did? We gave the families 100 dollars each. Bush will say that you can't put a price on life, but under his command they just did. 100 a head. People don't matter to him, only power, fame and money. He is like those who worked under Hitler. He says, "I didn't know it was happening, I wasn't in charge, they did it". Bullshit. Since he is in charge he is personally responsible for it all. He has responsiblilty, and should be held to that. He should admit our wrongs, and stop tryint to make a mess of the world. You know what? We haven't even declaired war. It's a "war" on terrorisim, but terrorism isn't a country, so we haven't declaired a War since WWII. That way Bush can deploy troops, do whatever he wants, as long as he wants.
I am glad that he wants to keep america safe, but it's really getting out of hand. He should value life more, and be defensive, not vengeful. He needs a new tactic. Geez, I probably have an FBI file now just from writing this. I love this place we live in, but they keep screwing it up. Write your congressmen, go through the correct processes of protest of war, and killing. Love one another, it's the only way we can pull through.
America, is so great right? Sure it's a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to say I made it the way it is.
