So here I am, getting ready to travel again. Oh joy, oh rapture, oh bliss. At least the B.H. is at the other end of this particular journey.

I note with alarm--but not surprise, because I rather suspected that this would happen--that the current administration is looking for ways to postpone the election in case of terrorist attacks. Like terrorist attacks themselves, I do not believe that this is a partisan issue--I would like to believe that any Republicans reading this are as horrified as I am that an elected government would consider interfering with the regular workings of American democracy (clunky though they may be) for anything less than total catastrophe. Such a thing would be nothing less than the establishment of a tyranny.

If you look at the history, it becomes scarily clear that the Bush family is just the tip of a very strange and scary iceberg. The so-called Neocons have been running the executive branch of the govt.since Nixon, bar the few and desperately opposed Democratic presidencies. The Names of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest, including Bush senior, have been there behind the scenes for almost forty years.

Eisenhower (also a Republican, btw) spoke with real prescience when he warned John F. Kennedy about allowing the military industrial complex too much power. They now seem to have all the power and, no surprise, they like to use their products.

I'll send you a proper email--I promise--but you really ought to give in and get a livejournal. Really, the water's lovely.

Ah, but if I got a live journal I would actually have proof that I am so uninteresting that no one would read it (or so dreadfully final in my opinions that people would feel flattened and avoid it.) Now I can delude myself into believing that people would flock to my LJ if only I had one!

I am reminded of a job interview I had recently at which one of the interviewers, who knows me very well, warned me about the others on the panel with, "Just, don't frighten them too much."

Argh!
