Stupid Email Forwards.....

I once again received a pair of lies from my mom. They masquerade as telling the truth about Obama or Clinton or some liberal, because clearly this is a Right-wing tactic. They have destroyed this country's economy, let New Orleans drown, stand by as their croneys hack and slash all the natural world, and have destroyed not just Iraq but millions of lives there, but they write up some email about Obama keeping his hands folded and I am supposed to be outraged. The sad thing is that many people are outraged. Even sadder is that the people who are outraged can't sit in the cigar smoke-filled rooms and hear the laughter by these Republican political operatives who author these things and just get to laugh as the people whom they represent soak it up. I mean clearly, people who want to lie to the public and do so expecting them to believe it and want to manipulate them not only don't care about them, but actively hate them. You don't manipulate someone you about. These emails continue to circulate among the people and the people who wrote them continue to laugh at those people who circulate them, since once they've scared you into voting for them they will continue to hack and slash the environment, drive your gas prices up and reserve an ever large portion of the nation's wealth for themselves.
I mention the hack and slash because I am sure I can't be alone in noticing just how many more people seem to be dying in tornadoes and other extreme forms of weather. I suspect that highly destructive weather is the result not only of global warming but the fact as with New Orleans that natural barricades (in New Orlean's case the extensive swampy wetlands to the south of the city which used to absorb most of the hurricane fury) are being trashed leaving us exposed when a tornado does strike, or a wild fire breaks out etc. PS I know this post is absent many facts, except the New Orleans one, please check it!!!! However, as the emails I am complaining about seems to show facts aren't important.
