Ok, I feel better now. I have been calmed down by some new articles and conversations with friends. The Christian Left posted this article: http://gocl.me/rrfYmo to shine some light on the Naomi Wolf article I panicked about in my last post. While we will probably never know the absolute facts around this, I see that Naomi is someone you have to take with a grain of salt. I haven't seen much of her before this so I admit, I jumped on that band wagon for a minute.
I was also calmed down about the whole vote in the Senate thing by a friend. I admit I was a bit leary of the original because it was coming from the ACLU and after all, there are protections against this sort of stuff (Americans being arrested & detained without charges indefinitely) in the Constitution.
I should've known better than to get all worked up about these things. You just never know anymore with the way Congress is behaving. I also shouldn't write in my blog when I've had a Vicodin and 3 ibuprofin for my aching back. Oh well, it was entertaining. I'm going to have to do a little more research and trust my instincts better before I go spouting off things on here.

The Occupy Movement.
I have had several conversations and debates about #OWS the past few weeks and I figured I should get some of it on my blog. I'm not sure where to start now, however, after reading a couple articles tonight. The first one was about the coordinated attacks by the police to shut down several of the movements in many of the big cities. http://gu.com/p/33thv
Then I read another very disturbing article about a Senate vote this Monday or Tuesday for the
National Defense Authorization Act bill. http://t.co/iskWIrzO
This is insane! What is happening to this country?? This is like some bad nightmare coming true, or oh, look, 2012 is on my TV. That will be next.
Do ya think maybe the OWS people have hit the nail on the head? I think the .01% is starting to panic a little and are finding out the sheep aren't going to be such followers after all. Wow, I sound like some wacko conspiracy theorist. But you really have to wonder why all these peaceful protests are being met with violence from the police, when the Tea Baggers were bringing guns to their rallies.
Maybe some of my more conservative friends will start to see the point for OWS now. This is about all of us. Our basic American rights are being taken away. They are messing with voting districts and regulations and flaunting it in our faces. http://gu.com/p/33h8q
Yes, money is the root of all evil and it has a firm grip on our US government. We are so screwed.
