I’m starting to feel much better about my health. Just getting a decent night’s sleep I think has done wonders for me -and having several people breathing down my neck helps too. My mood has changed dramatically and I’m much happier now. It just feels soooooo good to be energitic and be able to breathe. It’s amazing how much we take breathing freely for granted.

The politics of the presidential election are just enfuriating me. A few weeks ago our President Bush made a comment that the war against world terrorism is not winnable. Now I can easily understand what he meant by that. It meant that there will never be a day that we’ll be able to look back on and say “Here we are! We’ve won the war.” Nevertheless, the democrats took that comment and ran with it (being fairly silly I might add) saying things like “Well I believe we CAN win the war -the president doesn’t!” What poppycock. Now we have Senator Kerry making comments about the hope that some day terrorism will only be a “nuisance”. I also fully understood his thoughts here too. It’s pretty much saying the same thing as Bush (to a degree). Kerry’s sentiment is that most likely world terrorism will NEVER go away completely but it is hoped that some day it will be diminished down to the point that it is never what it once was (meaning: 9-11). Now Bush is on the attack doing the exact same thing Kerry was doing just a couple of weeks ago! How embarrasing. Once again, I think I would have chosen a smarter strategy than to play the same tactics as were played on me only moments earlier. Am I smarter than his advisors? Bush seems to be passive at the wrong times and aggressive at the wrong times. Don’t people understand the simple strategy of war? Surprise is one of the most vital elements. All he’s been doing lately is what can be easily predicted a day or two before. Even our last debate; Bush was criticized for smirking and yet being a push-over in the first debate…so what’s expected for the second? The opposite -and that’s what we got! Wouldn’t it have been a huge surprise to see him even more upset yet laid back and prepared to answer Kerry’s slander with confidence? That would have knocked everyone off their chairs -but instead we get just what we’re expecting to get and I don’t like that.

I suppose it wouldn’t upset me as much if I didn’t believe that we’re in the struggle of our lives for this country and are at risk of becomming another lame European state with massive taxes, no power, no morals, and no productivity.
