world view

I don't pay enough attention to political news, mainly because every time I do I get depressed over the state of affairs in this country, which I do love. My new job affords me a bit of time each day to catch up on current events, and this has done very little to stifle my cynicism. But I did find this nugget today to keep me afloat.

The link is to a CNN.com article about the U.N. Appointment.

...Bush - who has the lowest approval rating of a second-term president since Nixon during the Watergate scandal...


of course I am disenfranchised with my government, and it pisses me off to no end. we're not supposed to feel helpless at home, we're not supposed to fear our own rulers.



I know I have a voice
I know it's seldom heard
I know I have a choice
I know it's just a word
I know I have a bill of rights
I know it's 'cause I'm here
I know I have a chance to fight
I know there's much to fear
I know I have a say
I know my land is great
I know I have to find a way
I hope it's not too late
