responsibility

[incandescens]

I work in a hospital. I read cancer patient records, among others. I know that most people who see this blog, and who bother to follow the link, are either already in agreement with certain key points, or aren't going to be convinced, so there is little point in posting this here anyhow.

Sigh.
The enormity of the cloud of fluff-news that the majority of the US population is exposed to...the fact that very few US citizens will ever read the terrifying article you linked to...the fact that Bush doesn't feel he needs to listen to protesters...makes my heart sink deep into the pit of my stomach...it makes me feel powerless...it makes me want to bust out my 80's New Wave music and surround myself with the frustrated sounds of alienation from the political machine.

I didn't know about this.

Fluff exposes on celebrities, scare tactics about threats that never materialize, and they don't tell us about this.

Sometimes I hate the media.

It makes me weep. No wonder they hate us.

No argument from me: The sanctions have to go. The sooner the better.

My God, I think I'm going to be ill. I had no idea.
