so i talked to my friend justin (who is always is a super-happy mood) yesterday. but when i asked how he was, he was like 'ive actually been pretty upset all day.' you see friends, over in iraq 2000 american soldiers have died. how much is too much? the real problem is none of us really care. sure, we sit around and complain about president

meredith,
i know we havent spoken in a long time, but basically, i have fallen madly in love with a soldier and im going to marry him soon. Months ago, when i was smoking pot all the time, i had a big realization when i was stoned- we're at war. like, really. But no one cares. Thats very upsetting. I live in Chicago, and yesterday in the Tribune, the Sox winning the world series was on the front page and the 2000th dead soldier headline was somewhere in the middle mix of the newspaper.
people are dying. we're at war. and no one can tell me why. why are we over there? honestly, what the hell did Iraq do to us? when are we going to get Osama Bin laden? it makes me so mad i can almost cry when i think about it. im ashamed to be a part of this generation, because no one my age cares, and if you do, no one will listen to it, they just want to shove it under the rug

Meredith, I love you. You're so smart. Would this be Justin Ritsema you speak of? Let him know that one of the sociology teachers (Mrs. fuckiforgothername...BUTLER) is trying to do the same thing you are talking about doing. Picketing, and rallies, and maybe even taking it to the capital. If it's not Justin Ritsema you're speaking of, then nvm, because this is a teacher at ECU. Just tell him if he wants to do something about it, to just e-mail her and she'll help him out. She REALLY wants to get students involved, and not just people her age. We had a whole discussion about it in class one day. She'll be more than happy to help him out in anyways she can.

And, PS, my mom does go on livejournal...so ha!!!
[but, only to read my sister's entries since she's in Hungary, etc,etc.]
