Washington DC & A Horses Ass

I walk around this city and can’t help but feel a heavy weight on my shoulders.

I see these beautiful buildings and am reminded what a great country we live in. These are your buildings. These are my buildings. We all pay for them. Our lives are dependent on what is in those buildings.

I listened to a speaker on NPR tonight that said our lives are centered on stories. It is true. We experience events, but often quickly move on with our lives. We tell stories to remember those events we experienced. After 9/11 we remembered and told where we were, what was going on in the twin towers and what was going on in the planes. We do it just to remember the event. The facts are such a small part, its the story that gives us memories. Symbolism is so important in our lives.

On that note: There are 300 million pawns in this great game. We are all paying for this war.

We are approaching 3,000 Rooks taken down. It is amazing to me, that this President has taken such extreme advantage of our system.

Do we remember the justification for going to war? Today, can we make those exact same justifications? No, because now we know they are not true.

This President plays word games. He hides his agenda with whatever is popular at that moment. Republican spin has never been so desperate. The game we are playing is not fair, ask the world.

The saddest part is; this President has used American’s ignorance to his advantage. He uses them because they are supposed to follow authority, or because they don’t know better. The word games do not work for the rest of the world.

Currently, we are trying to fight for our freedom. Actually, that is crap. We are trying to launch a fight to make it look like we are fighting for our freedom. Is it really our fight?

We have lost our freedoms to those who we trust in these building. They are the ones who are supposed to protect us.

The most reassuring part of this story is that that their time in those buildings is borrowed. We all own an equal part of those buildings. We have an election coming up, and I implore you, please vote. It is your obligation to vote. It is for your fellow Americans, but it is really for the world. Please look at your candidates and make informed decisions.

There is something hanging over this beautiful White House we own…
