Sore, sore throat...maybe from screaming over the music at a wedding... or from being too cold because I said no to fur...and will keep saying hell no! to it...or maybe it's the suppressed yelps at being in this sometimes not so hopeful place...

It's one of those things I avoid thinking of because it scares the bejeezuz out of me...but really, where do you think all the millions of phones and pc's and electronics we just toss out end up? With all their toxic insides leaking out into the soil and water? The EU is going to try to make it safer but really, maybe we also need to stop falling for having to buy the latest pretty phone everytime...a duck is a duck is a duck...even if it has a few feathers more or less...

That's all I have to say...

"Saddam Hussein has vowed to go the gallows as a "martyr" ready and willing to sacrifice himself"...That was last week...and this morning, on the festival of sacrifice, they gave him what he wanted...Robert Fisk is disgusted at the idea that in the shadow of over 400,000 dead now, a criminal invasion, a country torn to shreds, Abu Ghraib and on and on... that "we are supposed to forget these terrible crimes as we applaud the swinging corpse of the dictator we created."...Human Rights Watch writes of Iraq's Shallow Justice and it's worth a read for its summary of how the trial was a mockery of justice.
The finger pointed at Saddam the criminal comes so many years late, so many lives too late, and yet just in time for no more files to be opened up on any of the people who made him who he was...the puppet is dead, the puppeteers are toasting to it. And what good is it all now for anyone in burning Iraq?

Yes cool points! as for the environment, we kind of have to wait for a real disaster on our doorsteps (e.g. we in Ba7rain drowning when some iceberg melts on us) to act, maybe :*

Fur skeeves me out. Unlike you it's not the principle that gets to me. I'm no vegan, but the fur industry has a rep for being incredibly inhumane, which is just... no. My family thinks I'm a weirdo for my stance but... ick.

I don't even want to think about it. I'm already freaked out by the things going on right here with the dumping of all those toxins in the Gulf and the refineries releasing such lovely gasses into out atmo. I drive my little Japanese car and stare at the glut of SUVs in environmental horror. I will *not* add the 48 cell phone per year Kuwaiti teens go through to my panic list I won't. Frak the environment, we’ll all be blown up by sentient machines soon anyway. (Cold comfort, eh?)

Also, the hijacking of a holiday (holy day) for that fiasco makes me so mad. Something that could have been cathartic and even liberating was turned into a sordid little wank fest. *Furious*
