For those of you who know me well, I have found myself rather social/politically opinionated. I don't buy into the notion of the mainstream (of anything) and I do certainly question everything that is put before these eyes and my other senses. Well, this entry will hit on two subjects, the Iraq occupation and the Irish football. The first in quotes title in my title line is in reference to the film of which I saw this evening. We, as a country, are lead by a powerful circle of very corrupt politicians that simply wish to better themselves at the rest of the world's expense (not to mention all american citizens). We've brought about massive killing in the the occupation of Iraq (estimates suggest as many as six hundred thousand people). I'm learning more about our desire to have and display for the rest of the world our ability to boast about gloat about things that not only effect society but, eventually ourselves. It should come as no surprize that this country has had a serious that our actions have had every bit as much of influence upon the entire insurgency uprising and the sinly fact that we can't just pullout and come home. We've screwed things up not only in the governing process but also to ourselves. The United States is that proverbial bully who just showed up on the scene and wants nothing more than to reign over everyone without contention.
Ahhhh, Notre Dame lost it's season opener to another unranked football team (Georgia Tech). I cannot help but smile about the failings of the university. Ahhh...
