Do you know what I'm tired of? The level of discourse has
decreased because everyone's opinion has drowned it out. The civil level of discussion is what I miss, and perhaps about mundane, everyday, 'I hate the blivet' reasons, or 'I fucking hate this war IN IRAQ where AMERICANS and IRAQIS are involved and being KILLED. Blood is shed daily, people are dying, and the media whores are getting their jollies and ratings from the OTHER war in Israel/Palestine/Lebanon.
Sigh. Bedtime. But I'm fucking tired.

9. Sorry. Indonesia, Bali. Our friend w/a boat felt the
tsunami hundreds of miles away; boat broke off mooring, etc. But our trip home was a sucky trip. Best left for another time.

7. True, but at least here on DU people get to have opposite views
on who is to blame in this current conflict. The Freepers won't allow discussion on this topic. Put another way, NO WAY would RimJob let someone side with Lebanon or Hezbollah on his site. Here, people actually get that CHOICE.

Sleep well.
