    Tirture is not us (US)

    GWB is the emperor with no clothes. He is an untreated drunk. If his lips are moving, he is lying. I will listen to GWB with "love in my heart" when he and I are in the same AA meeting. But I've never had affinity for the drink.

    Yes, it's true. The U.S. has democratic institutions in place to right wrongs. Unfortunately, some with oversight (our Congress) are not doing their job.

    Vigilence is the only thing that keeps us free. That's why it's necessary to voice dissent when our very freedoms and civil liberties are being threatened. I do understand that.

    Good luck with your art.

    —Lisa
