Utopianism and Celebration

This is post #501 on my blog! Thank you to those who have been reading - especially over the last few months - they've been rocky. But I am finished now and trying to catch up on all the stuff I put off for too long during school. Hoping to get a bunch of photos out and complete some contract work.

But first, dealing with Bush's recent press conferences: what the hell is going on? How is that Bush can talk about the war lasting until no one wants to kill Americans and these realists don't laugh their asses off at him? Seriously? Is this any different from hippies who want world peace, man? A little bit absurd wouldn't you say?

Oh yeah, we are gonna build this great peaceful society. Is this rhetoric new or am I just catching on to how absurd it is?

Additionally, does anyone else have a problem with this statement?

And the amazing thing about -- in Iraq, as a part of a broader strategy, to help what I call "lay the foundation of peace," democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.

My GOD!! Are we not a democracy or are we not at war? How many not wars have we recently been in? Is everyone taking crazy pills?
