Someone explain this to me,,
Sept 11 2001-
Bush declares a no fly zone over the US. All aircraft land immediately. Planes that couldn't turn back were allowed to land at a small airfield in Canada, pop 12,000, the Canadians opened up there houses, providing food and medicine for almost 10,000 stranded Americans .
2010
A volcano in Iceland erupts, stranding thousands in American airports, and we let them sleep on the floor!!! The passengers stuck in Europe are given hotel rooms,, the people here are lucky if we hand out a cot! I think it's shameful !

Now It affects our pockets
We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Grab a quick cup of coffee and head into the office.

Because what else do you have. You werent married, no kids and the rest of your family live thousands of miles away!So work is all you have, and maybe just maybe he will call you, today,(please please ) after realizing, you were the love of his life and he can’t live without you ( please, please).

The Circle is now Complete
Years ago, when I was in High School, I was tormented by a group of students. Not a revelation. One particular person( I wont name here ), would tease me mercilessly non stop. What was really hard was he was from my neighborhood. I couldn't escape him! He lived really close to me, go figure. One summer night, at his hot dog stand, we got into it and he blindsided me with a punch to the face. I lost it! This guy had me with about a 150 lbs, but I tackled him anyway , and had to be pulled off of him, I went berserk ! The tormenting didn't stop!Oh how I hated this overweight, dumb and ugly human being!!!! Speed up a few years and I'm at Donovan park watching the Twins play t-ball and I spot this really cute little boy get so excited because his Daddy is there to see him play. I look to see who in the world could this incredible person be and what hits me in the head like a mac truck!!! It's him.( Thank god he didn't recognise me, I would've died right there!) How can this be? He's Evil and vile, where is the justice in the Universe that he could have a beautiful child who loves him !!!! How can anyone LOVE him. How!(It's not fair !!!) I would always picture him in the lower rings of Hell getting exactly what he deserved. But alas, the joke was on me,once again! While I'm carrying around my cross, my pain from his torments, He went out and had a life ! With my luck, the life I wanted ! Well, with love of my family and friends, I finally laid my demons to rest and moved on. I often think to this day, What If I ran into ONE of THEM! What would I do. Am I over all that High school crap! I like to think I'm who I was meant to be now. I like and finally accept who I am. I'm proud now of my life ! BUT, what if? I was able to ignore him at the ballpark and as much as it was a shock. I was in such a good place I thought I didn't care anymore and it felt good,, BUT and here it comes,,,, he wants to be my friend on Facebook!!!! The circle is now complete!!! hahahahh. Why? !! and at first I thought, well we all grow up, but do i really forgive and FORGET? Can I just walk past and let it go? Should I? Or do I try and prove I'm beyond all that and can forgive and forget, allow this person however little to feel redeemed? ! I haven't decide, BUT I did look to see who he has befriended and its interesting to see people I love and admire are in his circle. One of whom is my brother,,, go figure,,,, I guess they didn't see, what I saw. Most people only see what they want to anyway!
