Wednesday, 11 July 07 :: lame reason.

i had a brief, but loud discussion with a secretary in the main office today. about the war.

honestly, i'm sooooooooooooo tired of the reason that people give for this damn war - "do you want them to come over and start blowing us up?" give me another reason. really. and give me facts behind your reasons for bombing iraq - i want the data that they had anything to do with what happened on 9/11 (btw, it's already common knowledge that it was a bunch of lies). because once you produce those facts, shit, i'll produce facts that the war is causing more terrorism.

further, if you think that the war is so great - GO THERE. GO TO IRAQ, LIVE THERE. tell me it's the right thing to do then. if you believe in the war - go to the war zone. because even though you may be an innocent bystander in this war - you voted for a man who isn't. there is a country full of people who are just as innocent as you are and didn't even get a voice in who the players in the war would be. in other words - you have more power in this than you do, and since you support it - go put your life at risk (like they do every day).

once you do that, then we'll talk. you come back from that and tell me you support it, and i'll talk to you. then i can have a respectful conversation about it. until then, just shut up.

.. blah blah blah, and then there's the whole religion thing to, which is just a bunch of hypocrisy.. blah blah blah.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
