As soon as I stepped out this morning I knew summer was gone. It was almost too cold to go out in just a T shirt. Having written that it appears I should point out that I also had shorts on. Holding the pace to 91 steps per minute warmed me up in a hurry. Anyway, the streets were empty but I did see a black cat across the street and an orange tabby quietly laying in someone's yard. Two airplanes flying beneath the overcast.
All this political hoohah makes for great theater but who's to believe? After they are in office they all change anyway. This isn't the America in which I grew up. Seeing the activities of the police at the GOP convention reminded me of the mass arrests and street roundups we saw happen in Europe in the 1930s and 40s. And the treatment of prisoners taken in Iraq and around the world was rejected at the beginning of our country by none other than George Washington! And after WWII the Japanese were punished for doing the same things we are doing today. How could what were war crimes in 1945 be excused in 2008?
The paradox of the war crimes proves again that we're all on this flight together.
