I have actually lost a lot of faith in some of my flist since yesterday. People who I thought were a bit smarter, but who are obviously still in the 30% who buy into the "we're gonna go open up a can of whoopass on some random country cause then we'll be safe!"
I had 2 family members on flight 11, and I'm sad, angry, and a million other things.
But I am so much more scared of losing our democracy than I am of losing my life. The next time the President says "we have to protect the American people," I just wish someone would tell him, "Um, that's a nice gesture but I'm fine thanks, and that's not in your job description, actually. You took an oath to protect the Constitution ABOVE ALL ELSE."
And his administration has done nothing but piss all over the Constitution for the last 6 years.
