I Finally Learned How to Spell Fahrenheit

As I type, Cameron is downstairs playing his powertour guitar he got for Christmas. Wow, an electronic toy that has lasted 6 months and he still likes it. I am getting tired of hearing the same songs over and over again, but he is getting pretty good at it. It's basically guitar hero, without the game system (ie, computer screen).

Let's see, what's happened since my last post? I watched Fahrenheit 9/11. You know, I don't think Michael Moore is as crazy as the media makes him out to be. His Oscar acceptance speech kinda a freaked me out, but if even half the stuff in Fahrenheit 9/11 is true, I can understand his outrage. I can also imagine that George W really hates Michael Moore.

Now that George W's presidency is winding down, we can look forward to a new president. Or not. One of the librarians when I was returning the dvd to the library was telling David and me that she heard that no matter who gets elected as president, they're gonna make George W look good. Scary. One thing is for sure, our government is corrupt. I used to think that US Presidents were in the job to help us, not for self-serving reasons. Oh, was I naive! I guess the only real question is, what do we do about it? I haven't come up with a good answer for that yet.

I would go in to the story of why I wanted to watch Fahrenheit 9/11 in the first place, but it is time for me to go to work. Suffice it to say, if you haven't seen the movie yet, it's eye-opening. And perhaps a bit one-sided. Moore never goes in to all the bad stuff Sadam Hussein did - genocide and all, but it makes one wonder, is Bush any better than Hussein? I do have to say, it is "R" rated for a reason - war scenes. I had to fast forward thru those. I could never be a soldier. Anyway, it's worth a watch. Thank God America is still a land where we are allowed freedom speech!

I do have to say that even with all its faults, I still love this country. There are still alot of good things about the US and many good people who live here. I hope that everyone all over the world can say that of their own country.

You know what else? No matter what happens, it is good to know that everything is in God's hands and everything is gonna turn out ok. I don't know who said this quote, but I like it: "Faith is not knowing what the future holds, but knowing who holds the future."
