Just watched three films today , man I tell you
We taped and watched Danny Pearl which was a documentory leading up to his dead . Really sad and horrifying .

Next it was Friends of God , a road trip by pelosi's daughter , here was some startling and terrifying footage to behold .

Last was the Ghosts of Abu Ghraib , another look into the horrors of the bush admin and wonderful Rummy .

I really have to say I am sick from this stuff , not that I did not know all of this was not going on to to see it and in a way visit these places is quite disheartening that this is even anything close to america , I can't even say we will ever be america ever again .

This is only a small part of all the horrors going on brought to us from the grand old USA , and I was born and raised here and all I can conclude is this is one sick country .

In the beginning of the Abu Ghraib film we were in the 50's showing how normal people selected could flip switches to apply up to as much as 450 volts to a person wired in another room and the majority did go through all the long row of toggle switches ranging from low voltage to the highest level as long as they were told by an authority figure it was ok to do so .

Well all I can say is I would not have flipped one switch as a sheep .

1. Don't Forget to Watch
"Addiction" - see how fucked up things are in rural America with meth addiction.

5.  I guess so , as difficult it is to watch these films
It is just as difficult to avoid the reality of the truth , you just can't win .
