I have been trying to re purpose some of my things rather than throw them away. For example, instead of throwing away coffee cans I use them for craft projects with my toddler.

Excellent post! Fear is very powerful. A lot of people will justify Iraq/Afghanistan by saying "fight them there and not here." What really irritates me is that people don't understand that we have the potential to be a police state one day if we continue to allow the government to keep doing these things.

I went off about wiretapping a few months ago to my mother-in-law who is a staunch Republican, and an avid O'Reilly fan. Anyway, she said, "I have nothing to hide." So what, I don't either, that is not the point. The constant erosion of our rights is the point.

The other thing that irritates me about Obama with this whole mess, is not that he is appeasing people, but that he is doing it so soon. I realize he needs to be more moderate to win, but sheesh. I like him partly because he always seemed so un-politician to me. His view on this makes me believe that he is just another politician. And yes, maybe I am naive. I am angry, but I'll probably get over it, too.

There seems like there is such a double standard here. If someone on Air America had a made a statement like this about McCain, the Repubs would want to send the offender to Guantanamo.

Re: The Problem With FriendFeed(ing): It’s Not Twitter

It took me awhile to get used to FF. Now that I am used to it, I enjoy it. I do agree, though, it's not twitter. There can be a lot of random noise, especially when there is no twitter.
