Cold War Revisted
Just finished watching Georgie's address to the nation... and feel like I am in a weird sort of time warp... this fight for freedom and liberty... and good and evil... doesn't it all smack of Cold War rhetoric?
Now I am sooo far from being an expert on this - all I know about the Cold War is a few random undergrad history/poly sci classes... and I am, after all, heading to Vietnam in a few weeks... so I could have messy wars on the brain...but still... very very strange... maybe soon we'll be told that in case of a potential biological weapon we should hide under our desks for protection... hmmm...hopefully we're not quite there yet....

Rhetoric is all it is. We really have to learn what rhetoric means; it's propaganda, brought to you as news. Spin, without the ability to refute it.
It's time for change; but as long as we even wonder about the meaning of a "propagnda speech", change won't come soon.
We should refute these "addresses" all together. They don't make any sense, whatsoever.
Yeah, I guess what I was trying to convey is that sometimes it feels like we are moving in concentric circles... instead of progressing towards a more peaceful world...(as naive as that sounds..)
