The cost of war...

I was watching the news today and they had an informal townhall like meetting with President Bush. To quote almost his exact words, "I gotta get back to the White House to make sure we're spending money wisely." However this site Cost of War shows how much is actually being spent. How is it that we have unlimited (it seems like it) funds for war, but nothing for health care and other more useful services?

Granted those who are trying for the Olympics don't deserve to train in fear if they don't do well, but what about the others? Hundreds have died for something that never exsisted in the country in the first place. There are rebels who refuse to aknowledge that there is a new government. Also after seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 and finding out only one of the U.S. senators have a child serving in the military is proof that the government does not really care who dies for something that doesn't exsists.

Please go out and vote. If you haven't registered to vote do so here if you're in California. If you want a different America vote for who you think will do a better job. You have seen Bush try it for four years, but can someone else do it better for the next four?

Horoscope: Be sincere. Judge carefully, if at all. Keep a friend instead of making a point.
