https://globalspin.com/2006/08/flight-of-the-grumble-bees/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 https://globalspin.com/2006/08/flight-of-the-grumble-bees/comment-page-1/#comment-4302 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 22:22:21 +0000 http://globalspin.com/2006/08/14/816/#comment-4302 With a bitter smile I admit that I, too, am glad I am not alone. I’m desperately glad we took our trip abroad in May and not September as once planned. I look back on that day 6 years ago when Bush was elected and I became so scared. How can one (admittedly scary) man incite so much panic, encourage so much damage? It will take decades to bring ourselves out of the pit of panic, pain, and despair that his leadership has dug for us. Such energy that could have been used for positive good completely ignores those places and people who would gladly have us help in humanitarian ways while leading us further and further into a place I do not wish to go. I differ in one way from the tone of the article, however–I am not desensitized, I feel; rather, I am more and more aware, and it tires me and frightens me and keeps me awake at night, because I don’t know if there is anywhere left to run.
