Posted by Paula Kay Entwistle on Aug 18, 2003 at 6:45 AM Why do we care so much about Bush? In less than four years, He’ll be gone...gone , like last winters’ snow. In a true negative sense, we’ve made him a god, instead of the demi-god he comes across as. It seems to me, it’s all “ just a matter of time”.....and given a little more time, we might have a “government” that might care about “the people”, instead of “care less”.....about the people.....If it’s all about money, than how do we start the revolution?

Do I care about color, no...do I care about ethnicity, no....do I care about language, no.....but I do care about health care, legal representation, housing, education, and developing a civilization that will “ stand the test of time”....
My question....where do we start, this time?
Thanks for another good read.
