Let's all lay low and be careful the rest of this week

[Mira]

Historically it's a tricky week with many bad anniversaries

Hitler's Birthday April 20
Columbine Shootings April 20
Waco Massacre April 19
Oklahoma City Bombing April 19
Virginia Tech Massacre April 16

When it's over let's band together and make a united effort to get ourselves heard about wanting the Torturers prosecuted.
Our national honor depends on it.

Think about what you personally will do next week to help in this effort. If the tea baggers can make a stink over nothing, I would say we have a real issue, and we need to take it to the streets.

I will put on my tailgate, very large,

P R O S E C U T E the T O R T U R E R S
It's the only honorable thing to do

and I'll write a letter to the Editor.

(suggestions for better sticker invited)

Who's with me?

1. Millions upon millions of people have died in April!

Fact!

[polichick]

2. Yikes, that is some list! I'll contact my Congresscritter and Senators about prosecuting.

3. Jeepers...

My wedding anniversary is today, and so is Patriot's Day! On the other matter, here's the letter I snail-mailed to my Senators and Representatives..


I am writing to you regarding the torture memos that were just released. We've been reading these stories for years, and I didn't think it was possible for new information to phase me one way or another, but I was wrong. These memos reveal a cunning, devious, intricate legal finding to allow a nation to wholly act with brutality and disregard for any human life. The controlled, specific directions to provide the thinnest thread of legal cover for what the whole world considers torture is mind bending. It's one thing to torture. It's quite another to legalize it in such minute detail. I have no idea how to make this right. But I do know that some action is necessary. It is impossible to look away. The totality of the destruction to our country and from our country can not be reconciled in any way. There isn't enough rationalization in the world. Believe me I've tried. Past empires have behaved with human cruelty and depravity, and they all suffered their fates. I believe we will too. I just wish there were some way to at least have our government appear to care, appear to have a conscience. I hope that you and your colleagues can find some way to act. Do anything, but do something. Thank you.

OK with you. And: Happy Anniversary in spite of the date.
