By the looks on our faces you would have thought they had just announced Armageddon with now way to save ourselves.<br /><br />I'm holding on to hope because hope is stronger than fear.

Your homeland has gone through so much worse, with oppresions that we only daydream about in your not so distant past.

If people could look at these lies and swallow them just because they heard it on The Daily Show, Pat Sajak will probably be President next (and do a damn sight better job!). <br /><br />But you are right. Those that have the ability to achieve office have little or no conception of what the world is like beyond their own homes and offices.<br /><br />Thank you. At least you made an attempt at comfort, and even though we have some disagreements in ideology, it will NOT be forgotten.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-33593080007337875672012-11-07T09:26:35.330-05:002012-11-07T09:26:35.330-05:00NOT true.
