ashamed....

I was jus****ching the academy award winning documentary Taxi to the Dark Side and i'm literally crying. Watch this movie. And stand up for your beliefs. There's no greater form of patriotism than to want America to be the best country it can be and to take an interest in making sure that it is.

Hey you! I was wondering what happen to you!!! Good to see you posting!

howdy. life has been very very busy these days. how are you?

If you are actually ashamed, then please do a lot more than watching a movie and crying. It takes action. Greatest form of patriotism is just "wanting" America to be the best? Sorry... you need to do more. Send the VA a couple of bucks, write several letters to congressman about increasing veterans rights... I know I lean this way being a veteran of two services, but even with all the years serving my country I still write the letters and send a couple of bucks and send patriotic pens over to our servicemen... Do something... anything... Stand up for your beliefs? ... yep, and once you are up, grab your checkbook... send some food over to the troops who are fighting and dying...

I am doing a lot more Marc. The first priority is knowledge and information. People need to be informed of what's happening. Pens against torture is not one of my personal beliefs.

Don't take that the wrong way, it's great that you're supportive in those ways it's just that supporting our troops is something we're all aware of and has nothing to do with what i'm talking about here. Watch the movie and you'll understand why. People are being tortured. By Americans.

Hi Jay.. I'll put it on my list.. but I've not a watched a movie in a loonnngg time. Glad it was so touching to you tho.. it must be a good one.

It's a real bummer of a movie and as far as i can tell no one has contested the info in it. It was definitely not enjoyable to watch but important. The things that are being done by those that represent us are not things that are in accordance with American principles or even American laws. It's outrageous. I can't believe that ANY Americans, regardless of party loyalties, would support these things. (of course pressures are put on people like John McCain to gain their silence if not their support.) 9/11 certainly did change the rules. I agree with Marc about the checkbook thing to an extent, just not in how to use it. I want change and if my checkbook is one of the ways i can exert my power to bring that about, i'm going to use it to support change, not torture. But i'm not going to tell other people how to stand up for their beliefs, I just want as many people as possible to know as much as possible before making their decisions. On a lighter note, if you want to watch something that will make you smile, check out Lars and the Real Girl. I think you'd really like that, Rhonda. It was a good movie and a real hoot. There, i recommended one movie that will make you feel bad, but also one that will make you feel good.

"i'm going to use it to support change, not torture" Oh, so supporting the troops is supporting the wretched few who have gone done the totally wrong road and have tortured people? I knew I should have just stayed quiet.... oh well, now I remember

hell... how did you forget.. I *even* remembered and was wondering why you posted if not to stir **** sorry just my observation..
