that's right.. well maybe not Berkely but someplace.. hey it happened in my home city once already. I don't get to look at the towers anymore.... except in pictures. The fuzzy bunnies and other softness of the liberals to me is just horrible and a disservice to those that died in the towers and those soldiers who have given their lives. They saw it with their own two eyes, why can't we? Are we better then they are? No.

this is from an entry I made in Art's journal

Art's right.

I went to an art exhibit in 2002 of a photographer that was downtown on 9/11.

WARNING VERY GRAPHIC!!!
Spoiler:
I saw the disembodied hands, puddles of flesh and entrails, bodies laying in the streets under a layer of ash, disfigured crumples of human beings.

I watched the beheading on the net last night. While it was gruesome it did give me more resolve again. It reminded me of 9/11 of the brutality that these opponents have. We fight a moral war, they fight to survive. The difference? We have a buy out point, they do not. If they give in, they don't survive.

The sanitization of the news media is disgusting. We can watch something be decapitated if it's Freddy or Jason because it's not real, but when its a soldier in a war, it's not allowed.

Even the fact that we cannot see caskets being brought home.

Our feelings for the war are being manipulated at an ever increasing pace. Each word, each image, viewed from many different angles to make sure that we are fed the correct message.

F that. I get my news and information from multiple sources, not just American made. Allow me the choice to decide for myself, not you Mother American Media.

I also think this is what is fueling our fascination with "reality" and live TV.

Like waiting for the crash at a car race, people are waiting to see the gore that cannot be filtered from live TV. They convince themselves that on a Reality TV show they may see something that isn't scripted or edited. They are just fooling themselves.
