You're a treasure. One insomniac to another I understand how the world can look and be a pretty bleak place, especially through the fog of lack of restorative sleep.

Its all very upsetting and while I do honestly believe in the right to free speech, I just want them all to be quiet! I think inciting racism, fanatacism and hate with "free speech" is a costly venture.Mamacitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962518466166496679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063735926965863236.post-68792689297369233152008-10-13T12:11:00.000-04:002008-10-13T12:11:00.000-04:00As a daughter of immigrants who immigrated herself...As a daughter of immigrants who immigrated herself, I can relate to the title of your post.<BR/>I hope Americans do not lose the freedoms they have fought so bravely for all these years.Vivian Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901008350652019275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063735926965863236.post-34304815627268199662008-10-13T11:28:00.000-04:002008-10-13T11:28:00.000-04:00World seems to be all upside down these days.Bless...World seems to be all upside down these days.<BR/>Blessings<BR/><BR/>Beautiful postings and journalJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734743330025974332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063735926965863236.post-68850741897139673002008-10-13T10:45:00.000-04:002008-10-13T10:45:00.000-04:00The world is a fucked up place right now... sorry,...The world is a fucked up place right now... sorry, but I can't stand the racism coming from the McCain/Palin party. They call themselves christians by saying "pro-life, yet the adamantly support "pro-war". What the hell! Freaks! How in the name of g-d do they think they are any more superior.
