Somali Islamists declare 'jihad' on Ethiopia
(courtesy of CNN online 10-09-2006)
So, in the start to my day, I see that world news is still showing fear, because the world is barging in on others business. AND that our lovely Islamists are waging war on the Ethiopians. For the love of peace of course. The Ethiopians are SO scary I'm sure, a starving nation that tries to survive by helping take back a city that's been occupied by Islamist extremists! There's a healthy war to wage. I'm sure this will be considered a landmark victory over the dangerous Ethiopians. Way to go Islam. You sure are making your mark as being a peaceful culture.
Stocks seesaw on international tension
Major gauges zigzag as investors try to shake off unsettling news from North Korea; higher oil also factors.

How the hell does Oil factor in on a country becoming NUCLEAR armed? (bold type for "W's" sake, since he doesn't quite understand the pronunciation). I guess since Oil is the gold of trading right now, anything in our world affects the pricing of our gas products. Seeing as how the pricing just hit a low end mark. Now, we get to experience roller coaster prices. YAY roller coasters. Can I get a show of hands from those of us, grateful that our Presidents time in office is numbered? Thank God for voting time! I can assure you, possible readers, I will ALWAYS cast my vote! Think you can't make a difference in your nation's history? By not voting, you are a castaway of a citizen. It's like you don't exist. No one is going to force you to vote, but you can't feel left out of the running tallies if you don't take the short time to write in a box who you think should lead the country.
So, from Friday's blog, I can honestly say I am glad for the blessing of being free to cast my vote! I am thankful I do not live in Islamist occupied territories! I am thankful for my freedom to choose what spirituality I want to claim. Without true fear of reprisal or consequence from governed chaos in Islamist rule! I am thankful I still have my head attached to my shoulders. LOL! I have alot to be thankful for. So, count your blessings USA, we are not in North Korea, Iraq (except for our troops) or Ethiopia. I DO wish that our troops were not so absent from their families right now. I wish our government would start to see that war is not always the only way out of a situation. That our police force is not made up of soldiers or other military might. China has a police force to be reckoned with, but no "army" (yeah right). I wish our governed people could open their eyes to TRUTH, in it's entirety. I wish we could work with our economicly stunted growth, put people back to work and stop causing our welfare system to break down. I wish we could, as a nation, decide to control our government and put stops in place to prevent corrupted senators and congressmen and women from taking of our hard earned money. I wish that the IRS would be dis-assembled and done away with after these many years of being illegaly organized. I wish that I could make the money I am entitled to, rather then being regulated to the working class, living from week to week or paycheck to paycheck, while I watch the rich get richer.
So, with all of these lines running through my head, it's enough to make one pause and think, I hope. Maybe even long enough to get mad at our delapidated system....One can wish and hope.
After all, this is a free country, isn't it?
