war is bad for my digestion

it's been not quite a week since the war started, right? not long enough to be able to tell whether the sick gnawing feeling in my gut is permanent, right? how about the insomnia? or the anxiety attacks?

and before i get the people (well-meaning though i'm sure you are) who tell me that i shouldn't think about it so much, or the other people (rightfully so) telling me that i haven't got it nearly as bad as the iraqi people at large, or the american and british soldiers, i will say the latter, at least, myself. i have no right to complain about my health when people are starving and being killed and maimed and forced to kill others and god knows what else.

all the same, it's true. i'm sick to my stomach and sick at heart over this war. i'm upset with this country and the people who run it. and i found this. which really makes it look like i'm not such a conspiracy theory nut after all. i haven't read the entire site yet, but this guy has a pretty good handle on what they're about. see, these guys making war aren't about freedom; they have a Plan. and it's damn scary. you know what the scariest part is? people are so busy being patriotic that they forgot the part about protection our country and its freedoms.

which i why i love this guy:

how ironic that in order to hear any questioning of our government we had to turn on the academy awards? which, by the way, i didn't watch; i had to be informed after the fact. they didn't seem relevant to me this year--hollywood stroking its own ego yet again. but then there's this:

“I’ve invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us. They are here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time when we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it is the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you. And any time that you have the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.”

at least somebody was saying it.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
