Maybe because I lived so long in conservative states like Indiana and Ohio, I had assumed no one agreed with me about the current beating of war drums in the White House.
I am no warblogger (nor was meant to be) but I confess I was taken aback to see the kinds of messages that are being e-mailed to my congressman.
Although this isn't a statistical poll, it's surprising to see how many messages are against the prospect of war. And how few are in favor of it. Is anyone listening? I wonder.
There's also one confused person deploring the prospect of war with Iran. Now that's what I call forward thinking!
Moreover, I found the same results in Indiana and Ohio. Find your congressman here.
It doesn't make me feel any better about the government, but it makes me feel a little less crazy.
This is all getting me down. Time for a little less conversation, a little more action.

That is one of the coolest Elvis pages I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot.
I agree. I was at the anti-war demo on Sunday in Chicago and it was sad. It felt so tired somehow. Most people I know are also against the war, but the protesters certainly didn't seem to represent the masses. It was the perma-critics you see at most demonstrations.
