I'm restless in a grey way, unsocial, haven't been able to figure out why. Work here? No, it's not significantly different. Diet? Well, no meat and chocolate could be it, but I doubt it would make me unsettled. Phase of the moon? Lack of exercise? Snow to the Rockies?
No, it's the fact that we're at a brink, a gulf, in history. America, led by an intellectually challenged oil money AntiCrist, is about to become (again, for those familiar with history) a terrorist nation. We (you and I and he and people I know serving, in Kuwait and other places) are going to use weapons of mass destruction to destabilize and overthrow a fascist government. Or are we? No, wait, it's just Saddam...but the next two in line are his sons, who are worse than he is.
We've been partially down this road before, with the war in '92. But we didn't succeed then, and we're unlikely to actually meet the objectives that I would like to see now. Afghanistan isn't too stable either at this point--and if we go in and destroy things in the name of democracy, can we help set them up in that name.
I dunno. It's unsettling. My Mom is talking about getting plastic for the windows. We're at a state of "Orange Emergency", and I expect Anita Bryant to come and tell us that the emergency is the amount of homosexuality in California... Things have been bad in a general way since the economy started to tank and our government "leadership" started the puppet show of southwest Asian interventions. How much worse are they about to get?
Unsettling.
