I am not Political-- just human...

Thank you Billy! You are a true grown up!
So I plopped those five different envelops into one official blue box today... All thanks to the adult in our partnership, my loving and more importantly (today) RESPONSIBLE husband, Billy!

I wipe my virtually spotless hands (because I literally didn't touch the things-- aside from dropping them in the box) clean of that gawd awful mess of papers they call taxes... I call it Blood money, that pays for three rich guy's oil war! I am not all that political but nor am I blind. I can't believe we, our family (lovers of PEACE) are contributing to this genocide!

IT MAKES ME SICK!

I am all for taxes...
That HELP OUR CITIZENS... that FEED OUR ECONOMY... That PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!

NOT THAT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, INCLUDING OUR CHILDREN!

So we paid our taxes today in money...
And guilt and shame and embarrassment and reluctance and resentment and fear and anger!

Knowing that (for now) it'll end up ill used.

I surly know it isn't going to pave the horrendous maze of potholes that lines our "unincorporated", "unimproved" dirt road... Or go to any sort of UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE to help with the fifteen thousand dollars it is going to cost to fix my teeth (which by the way, is as a direct result of growing up an all american welfare kid... Being seen at clinics by disheartened practitioners, with tied hands, authorized to do only the absolute bare minimum. As a child of unfortunate economic circumstance I was treated as a lower class of human, yet, given the the very best our country has to offer?)... Or to feed the countless number of homeless people, down the street from my studio, that line up around the block each day, at noon, to get their one meal a day (FROM A CHURCH--NOT UNCLE SAM mind you) It sure isn't going to aid in treating these people as our citizens, let alone as human beings! Or what about those solders (so many of them just boys, really) who fought for what they thought was helping their country, to find out that it was all just bullshit and that they were pretty much war slaves fighting a dirty, corrupt war to make rich men richer... Only to end up dead or ruined physically, mentally and emotionally... Oh and then abandon and forgotten by the very country they were fighting for...

SICK! SICK! SICK!

AND SAD...

I JUST GET SO SAD WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL OF US, OUR PEOPLE, SUFFERING, AND CAST AWAY... PEOPLE, KIDS IN OUR COUNTRY NOT BEING (IN THE VERY LEAST) FED!!!!... AND THE PEOPLE WORKING THIER ASSES OFF TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES TO PAY THEIR TAXES... AND HERE WE ARE... WHERE WE ARE... IN A POINTLESS WAR USEING OUR RESOURCES TO PAY FOR DESTRUCTION, CHAOS AND MURDER?????!!!!!!!

SAD, SAD, SAD

SO SAD!

Whatever we do people, whom ever the nominee may be, we have got to vote...

DEMOCRAT

in 2008

like I started out saying, I am not super political... and sometimes I am a bit insecure about using my voice because I don't know everything (I think I should)... But I know my feelings, and so I go with that... And just go ahead and use my little voice however shaky it may be. I think if we all did that--used our shaky little voices, then we will be heard.

USE THAT VOICE!
