You have placed the fault for the current mideast debacles of the United States exactly where it belongs–on the
“American People” as Nancy and Harry like to intone.

All of us who must have our fast foods, plastics, mechanized McAgriculture, and the “happy motoring” of our commuter culture of shopping malls and suburban sprawl are responsible for the necessity of this mess in Iraq (soon to be appearing in Iran and maybe even Syria).

For those of us who damn the sneering Cheney, let’s prove our contempt by:

buying less gasoline, propane, and other petroleum products.

driving fewer miles,

shopping at farmer’s markets

growing your own food,

cancel your satellite or cable TV service.

avoid shopping malls, Walmart, and other big box retailers.
take the bus or other mass transit(if you can)

spending less than you make saving the difference.

cutting up your credit cards or keeping them at zero balance and paying them off in full each month.

Refusing to do or even consider any of the above proves that the sneering Cheney is right–our “American way of life” is non-negotiable.

It is so non-negotiable that we, the American people, will tolerate the totalitarian conduct of our present government and “support the troops” as they (in our name) commit mass murder in the Middle East.

That is the true understanding that motivates our elected representatives, as well as the sneering Cheney and his “boy”, to which Barbara has born such eloquent witness.
