Okay, I watched the world's greatest skit ever today. Go to youtube sometime and search for "IRack" It's the greatest satire I've ever seen in my life.

Here's the sad part. At the end of the skit, Apple announces their new product: "The IRan". I did think this was hilarious, but not before I felt this overwhelming fear rise up in my chest. That's just sad. The very word "Iran" scares the crud outta me.

An Iraqi soldier visited our class the other day. I asked him if he thought Iran might use their weapons on us if we started messing with them. His response was "we took that risk with Iraq too". My blood just BOILED when I heard that. I think it's sad that I have an overwhelming fear of getting the crap bombed out of us. There was an airshow last week and the very sight of a non-commercial airplane had me gripping the side of the car, slouching in my seat, and tuning out whatever my mom was talking about. That's no way to live, especially in a place like America. And I don't care what party you are, you can't deny that it's Bush's decisions that got us where we are now. (It IS. He's commander and chief of the army, that's just FACT.) And I guess I'm just super-irritated that his decisions have led this country into a position in which I'm scared to death of airplanes and I am genuinely worried everyday that we're gonna get bombed.

Honest to god, it's not a concern I have, it's a fear. I am honestly living in FEAR of being killed because of a stupid war.

I appreciate it, Mistah Bush.

I really do.
