It truly is possible now, the old phrase — POWER TO THE PEOPLE! In my view, the people are far more competent to run the country than the government!

And it's funny how that doesn't necessarily lessen (much) with a new administration that is so much more decent and tolerable and trying to do the right thing than the last one was. Whoever is in charge, citizens have to stay awake and hold their feet to the fire, I guess.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-69845514450936814862009-07-26T20:06:52.972-04:002009-07-26T20:06:52.972-04:00Roxie, I have been reading some of your links, and...Roxie, I have been reading some of your links, and got marvellously engrossed in Chris Hedges, at Alternet — he IS hard-hitting, the way good journalism should be! You said this before, what you ask, that is, staying tuned in, is only what we owe our citizenship. Thinking about that, I realized I have always been very grateful economically, and freedom-wise for being an American, but also often frustrated and very angry.Eden's Innuendonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-66925448939503583382009-07-26T15:52:54.717-04:002009-07-26T15:52:54.717-04:00Thanks for this, Rox.

And I don't like a lot of dying, don't like it at all. So I urge your readers to click away and to think about what this war is costing us, least of all in $$$, which our nation and its citizens could use right now. But let's think about the costs not only in the lives of our soldiers, but in the many lives of Afghan citizens and soldiers. <br /><br />Peace, PEACE out,<br />GooseGoosenoreply@blogger.com
