Since then I've been leery of, and tried to keep track of, my government's "policies." The truly horrendous ones, like the Vietnam War, were based on lies.
When I was a five years old, in my neighborhood in the yard of the house at the end of the block, lived a big mean ol' German Shepherd named Rex. Every time I walked by, Rex would be at the end of his rope, furiously barking and snarling, straining to murder. One day I walked by and noticed Rex's rope had broken, and there he was ... right in front of me ... free ... and growling.
The government's rope was seriously frayed when Ronald Reagan occupied the Oval Office, and completely snapped when The Supreme Court installed George W. Bush as president.
In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., " the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government" -- today roams the globe free and unfettered.
Boo.
Trouble sleeping? Me too.

Hi Bob
I'm an old hippie from the 60's and I've been following your various writings and rants :) on the Mike Malloy show and after Mike's reading of Lex Luther, Inc. decided to follow you on OpEdNews. I too am considering a move (back) to Canada. I mention 'back' since my father's parents were both British Columbians and dad was conceived in Canada but born in Long Beach, CA. I think that makes me half Canadian. I'd love to hear any advice you might want to offer for such a journey back to sanity. Respectfully, James, or as my kids call me Daddio and my grandchildren call me Gran-Daddio.

Bob, don't hold back -- let it ALL out! Keep in mind how good it feels to cry.
