Mourn 4 My Enemy

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives,but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that - MLK Jr.

U Didn't Get Mad

U didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

U didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

U didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

U didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

U didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

U didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

U didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

U didn't get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos.

U didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

U didn't get mad when the government was found to be illegally wiretapping Americans.

U didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

U didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

U didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.

U didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark largely due to the Iraqi War.

U finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars,lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no.
