When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Creative Slips - "...A growing number of people are urging our nation's leaders to think rationally before acting prematurely. Mr. Bush, while I'm sure Tuesday's acts of terrorism compels you to act, retaliation is not the answer. I understand we have the capabilities to drop another atom bomb or two just to "compensate" for our losses, but why destroy many more innocent lives to get to the guilty few? In the end, revenge only kills you, not the perpetrator."
