LET'S DECLARE A DAY OF PROTESTING THE WAR ON APRIL 16. IN 1971, VIETNAM VETERANS THREW THEIR METALS AT CONGRESS IN A POWERFUL ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATION ON THAT DATE. IN THEIR HONOR, AND FOR ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED OR WERE WOUNDED IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, PLEASE POST SOME TYPE OF ANTI-WAR MESSAGE, OR HOW THE WAR HAS AFFECTED YOU PERSONALLY, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW. POST A PROTEST SONG WITH IT, IF YOU CAN. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO GET A LOT OF VISITORS ON YOUR SITE. IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO.

DAY OF PROTEST: APRIL 16.

That's what they are. Bush and his henchmen. Dream eaters. We long for life, and they give us death. We work our butts off to make a living, and they make us poor. We beg for the truth, and all we get are lies. We want our children to be educated and able to compete with the rest of the world, and all we get is a war budget that leaves every child behind. Prisoners are tortured into confessions. Global disaster is laughed at and rebuked by Bush's make-believe science and scientists. They fire perfectly competent people so they can replace them with their own right-wing robots. They hate diversity. They despise differentness. They spy on us because they are scared of us. They fear us because we know who they are: dream eaters.

Listening to the song on my previous post today, I have decided to appeal to other Blogstream bloggers and attempt to set up a day of protest. How about everyone posting an anti-war statement and a song, similar to the one I posted today. Anyone interested, please comment and suggest a date. I think it would be something real good for us to do. Some of you more popular bloggers will need to back this. Hopefully, it will appeal to you. Thanks in advance. The Peever

BUSH DESERVES A FAIR TRIAL.

We heard a lot about the electoral college shortly after the last two Presidential elections. Bush won the 2000 election with fewer votes than Gore, and the 2004 election was won by Bush getting the electoral votes in Ohio. We are currently the only country in the world that doesn't elect the President by popular vote. (That I know of). Let me know what you think: Should the President of the United States be elected by popular vote? Should the electoral college be eliminated?
