Hello dear readers, my name is Melissa a.k.a. "Faedora" Sizelove. I'm just your "normal" everyday person
living her life. But like you, I have many concerns. These aren't small concerns, or I'd be happy just complaining
to my friends. So, this is me expressing my concerns on a broader scope, or if you will: complaining. Now, don't
get me wrong, this isn't just a witch fest. I have good things to say as well, maybe not now, but I will....
My first complaint has to be the closing of Gitmo. Do we REALLY have to do this before we even know what or
where we're going to put them. Are we releasing them to go home to their home country to kill our soldiers,
their own countrymen, or to plan another attack on us on our own soil? Again?
Are we going to have to release some of our own prisoners to make room in our already over populated prisons
to make room for them, thereby releasing other prisoners to the public to do more harm. The way the court
system and ideology driven pack of judges we have now, you never know who they will try to "rehabilitate"
to make room for a terrorist to mingle with our criminals. What are the odds they try to recruit inside?
They'll get their three squares a day, free cable and will ultimately get the same rights as private citizens.
The same people that have been calling for their release ie Human Rights Activists, would be the same people
to get their heads cut off if given half a chance by the very people they are championing.
I see this as a lose, lose situation. I know as soon as I heard our new president say Gitmo was closing, I felt a hell
of a lot unsafer then I did the day before. I worry about the future of our country and the direction we are going.
considering Gitmo, the unending bailouts, illegal immigration, heroworshipping of celebrities and on and on and on.
I hope we start to learn from history and quit trying so damn hard to make it.
I think it's very sad when not one person I know can say they trust ANYONE in Washington. Sometimes I think
they forget they work for US not the other way around. Too many people have become apathetic toward gov't.
and their policies. There's alot of head shaking, and "I can't believe they did THAT" . But no one wants to call their
senator or govenor or representitive, they just want to complain and be done with it. Just chock it up to gov't being
gov't and wash your hands of the whole deal, til you notice your paycheck getting smaller, taxes getting higher and prices
going up. Call Call Call, be a big pain in their arse, it's allowed. YOU are THEIR boss.
I actually want to get rid of all career polititians and put in some REAL leaders. Proven leaders. They are out there.
I want to make my vote REALLY count someday.
But like I said; this is my opinion and this is me having MY SAY.
