opinion: rants & raves

w definitely lucked out last sunday. still,
for some reason, I woke up in the middle
night thinking how current nationalistic
zeal (support the troups, bush support,
america's the greatest, et.al.) is all based
on fear. pride is fear. it's a false sense
of strength based on hormones, not a true
feeling of contentment and self-esteem.

people cling to bush cause he's the daddy.

it wouldnt matter who he was, in a society
full of fear of terrorists, crime, debt,
whatever the fear du jour, daddy's there
for us. only one problem...our daddy is
a bad bad daddy who says one thing and
does the opposite. why the daddy clingers
dont sense their own delusion, maybe
cause it glares like the sun. theyre
blinded by the obvious. theyre blinded
by their fear.
