So today will be the first full day that we are back online at the office in several days. It was a strange feeling to be disconnected from the world and not have instantaneous access to unlimited knowledge and current events. Strange... technology is a wonderful thing. So not much is going on in my section of the world. Of course terrible things seem to be occurring everywhere else in the world. Intelligence agencies reporting that the situation in Iraq is becoming unmanageable, genocide in Sudan (Of course we refuse to take any action on this one. No vital national interests involved. In other words No OIL!), Russia retreating from democracy. On the Sudan situation I feel like we have at least one member of the current administration that does care and would like to do something, Colin Powell. I have always admired Mr. Powell. He seems to be a level headed, fair, and honest person. Sadly it is those traits that have often put him at odds with his current superior. I am assuming that this may be the reason why he is not returning to his post if "Dubya" is re-elected. Sad really. I mean the guy wasn't even invited to the Republican National Convention. He will not be the only key person on the current staff that will not be returning, there are several key people "stepping down". It may be a good decision on their part I wouldn't want to be affiliated with the administration that will be reflected in history as having steered the country into a ditch. Okay those are some of the thoughts that are keeping me occupied today. I apologize for the rambling and incoherency (is that even a word?).... I just had to get it all out of my system.
