I hate Bush.

This war is on. The dimwits have deadbolted the door to the cockpit of arrogance. Upon hearing the news of the bombs flying, while en route through the Mission District on a peace march -- the entire human cavale thus inverted and circumsized -- my heart felt weight and my mind shifted into cartoon mode. Caricatures are the only personification of evil that I know and now I entertain the horrors of depression, of metal in the sky and fire in the world. I never could have imagined it would feel like this; the fate is sealed and innocents must die now, the sight of a city (oh, to explore it!) in destiny of sudden ruin. Baghdad, you hear me now: We have not lost, we will fight back, we will lay in the streets and love. We of the earth with dirt on our hands, who stand in the rain and still cry... our horrors are still alive. With shallow voices and scanning eyes, we cannot tempt with teleprompt. This "peace" is perfidious, a lump in throats because we all know: it's coal, it's cold, war is old. the only way to peace is love. the only way to truth is to listen. The one who talks a rehearsed hearse (no matter how shiny the vehicle, it's still to the graveyard we go) is the one who bends and squeals and whose noodles we will never know.

My reaction will be to ride Critical Mass, "BIKE! Against the War", all day. The streets are ours and the only business is love. I also stumbled upon the Impeach Bush campaign. Here is my note to Rep. Pelosi:
"The deception of the American people and disregard for the international community regarding this war and the propaganda (and subversion of truth) involved have led me to desire eradication of GWB's reign of terror upon the world. He and his cadre of menaces are in fact the true terrorists to the world. I am for peace, social issues, the environment, technology, and the economy. I do not think GWB values any of these, even the economy (except his personal localized economy of corporations that feed his campaign and cabinet). Please support this measure and bring it to the table of your colleagues! I know it's radical, but I do not wish to see the obsolete concept of war praised by people that are not properly elected (By the way, please support Instant Runoff Voting to prevent such an ambiguous presidency, especially when the current one lies by claiming the American people are clearly behind him... clearly not!)"

Think peace. Think love. Do not yell out against the war but go and love and smile and insist that the fool is at fault.
