Just Another Manic Monday

I hope being a vegetarian helps me with this.


Maybe it's because my mom's side of the family came from Germany and her mom grew up during the Nazi come to power. Maybe it's because both of my grandfathers fought in the war against Nazi fascism. Whatever it was, growing up I always was, and still am, intreguied by the Third Reich. The most burning question I had was: how could they let this happen? How could millions of people stand idly by while their freedoms and liberties and neighbors were killed - literally?

I now know...and it really pisses me off! I see it here and here and here and of course here.




And this is just from what I found today. A whole week's worth of blogging would only begin to shed light on the shredding of our Constitution. It's amazing to me how people would rather go see a movie or play video games than take the time to see how we're all slowly being driven, legally, into this. Read it.

For all the right-wing talk of supporting the troops and what a dire necessity the Iraq war is (who's Osama?) - why don't they get it? Paul Krugman's on it here.
