Things I've thought about in the last week

(1) We veto the SCHIP -- too much money for the war, not enough money on children
(2) We can't find enough votes to override the veto -- too much politicking, not enough solidarity
(3) We turn a blind eye to the Armenian genocide because we want to use Turkey air space in our war in Iraq, using the excuse that we need to support our troops (our troops should be going home, not stuck in a foreign country, depending on foreign air space / fly zones) -- too much forgetfulness, disregard for mistakes of the past
(4) We can't pass the Jubilee Act -- too much focus on ourselves and so little on the world situation
(5) How do we be proactive Xns in a world so filled with complexities?
