The injustice of this empire continues to infuriate and confound me. It's not just this pet war, which is the source of endless tears and countless sorrows, nor is it the lies that have broken and confused us, led us into a constant state of fear.
No, more maddening than these is the inexplicable way which We The People continue to put up with it all.
This is old news, now, and the days since the third of October have been nothing but a blur of chemical self-mutilation and ultraviolence. I speak of course of the use of the Boy King's fourth veto, which brought a merciless end to the State Children's Health Insurance Program. This program, which cost $35 billion over the course of five years, promised insurance to children whose parents could not otherwise afford it. Apparently Bush is completely oblivious to the needs of "the little people", i.e. those who didn't grow up having their asses wiped with fifty-dollar bills.
Before anyone gets on me about this, please consider: The Boy King's pet war has, to date, cost this country almost $500 billion. That's right; $500 billion to chase down shadows and occupy an unwilling country, that's okay. $35 billion for little poor children, that's too much.
And just think: this is the same cum stain that vetoed embryonic stem cell research because he didn't want to "violate the dignity of human life."
I can forgive someone for voting for Bush. Truly, I can. I can even forgive someone for voting for him twice. I'm sure you have your reasons. Where my patience ends is when all those who understand, all those who behold the workings of the Boy King and do nothing.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. How much evil will We The People allow before we start fighting back?

You are convinced that you know all the answers. I did too, when I was your age,
Now I know that I was wrong in a lot of ways, fifty years later.
You will change, too...profoundly. Be ready for it.
