in today's news...
well it's seems as if the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Bush has declared war on Iraq.
I am contemplating leaving the country. People keep telling me that everything will be ok, and I don't need to worry, but I have been far too busy protesting for peace for me to feel safe.
I feel vulnerable.
I don't believe I have done anything that the government would object to,(except the whole standing up for civil liberty's thing,) but I'm scared.
I don't want to feel this way. I have a button that says, "Living in Fear Sucks," and it is true.
But I can't help it. All I can to is think happy thoughts, or not think at all.
I keep going to demonstrations, and writing letters, and everything else they say we should do to let our leaders know that we do not approve, but it does not seem to help.
No one listens to the peace protests, only to CNN.
I want to curl up in a ball sometimes and hope it will all go away. But I don't.
Because it won't.
