The Mid-term elections are tomorrow (Nov 7th) and this ad is one last push towards a win for the canidates opposing the war in Iraq (namely democrats & those endorsed by Wesley Clark). While I think its an excellent and truthful ad, I think it would have been better served if they included a few sentences about why the war has caused America to be less secure.

To many the reason is obvious, our presence in Iraq and specifically our lack of proper reconstruction plans for the country has fueled more anti-america hatred. Are some Iraq citizens happy we are there? Probably, but the truth is that the good will we have imposed there slumbers in the shadow of the ill-will we have breed. That ill-will and hatred runs far deeper and is more of a threat than the goodwill that does exist can counter.

Lets get our boys and girls home and soon.

So before I blogged here at mental dribble.com I use to blog on my myspace page.

there are a couple blogs that I would like to bring over, so I am just going to do a little blast from the past repost of them. I will probably bring 2, maybe 3 over and I’ll spread it out over the next week or so. Here is the first… enjoy

I just feel lost sometimes.. and I don’t know what to do about it. Everything seems so difficult. On the surface and deeper everything almost seems to take super human abilities to get by. I just wonder; has it always been this way, or is it not that way at all and I am just warped? I try to stay ahead of the gang but the gang just seems like its 3 meters ahead and gaining. There are times when I curse my consciousness… I wish I had no view of reality and went through life with a smirk of ignorance and was happy for it. How does one cope with these issues? Its not like I can go sign up for one on one time with mr. 120 an hour. I can’t jump in my boat and clear my head. If you realize how you view the world causes yourself unrest can you really truly change the way you see it? Or is that like deciding you should eat liver and even though you hate it you suddenly transform your taste buds into liver loving fools? I just dont have any answers… I feel as if I am not even asking the right questions.

So apparently this guy (Bernard Weber) believes that we need to do away with the orginal 7 wonders of the anciet world and pick 7 new ones!

Only this time around instead of just one man picking the 7 (Philon of Byzantium picked the first group back in 200 B.C), he wants the world to vote on it. He plans to reveal the New Seven Wonders on July 7, 2007, or otherwise know as 07/07/07.

I guess part of his reasoning is that only one 1 of the orginial 7 is still standing (the great pyramids). According to his website Bernard wants to raise awareness of the destruction of nature and our man-made hertigage through the new 7 world wonders foundation. 

If you want to vote on the “new 7″ you can do so at the foundations website.
