I have absolutely nothing to say and yet for some reason I want to hit the keys. How strange is that? I guess I'll just ramble. It was amazing to see the Iraqis vote on Sunday. So many of them risked their lives to go to the polling station and they looked so proud when they raised their ink stained finger up in the air to show their pride. I hope the best for them, so many people from our area have lost their lives for them to have the chance for independence and freedom. I'm not a big Bush supporter but after spending 20 years in the military I appreciate what sacrifices the military makes for people to have their freedom. I know that people have the freedom to protest but sometimes I wonder if any of these protesters know how much we sacrifice for them to protest?
Speaking of Bush, I have a few beefs that I want to get off my chest. It's terror not terrer. And, while I'm on my soapbox, the United States is not the only democratic country in the world. I was at a meeting once and the speaker was saying in what other country do you have the freedom and rights to protect your rights. I felt like standing up and saying...duh, Canada. Why do people think that the US is the only country in the world that people have rights and freedom? Canadians have always have rights, that's why when the Americans came knocking in 1776 and 1812 and we said no, thanks.
Off my soapbox now.
