"Bush" - America's new four letter word
When I was a kid, my mom and my sister were talking about four-letter words. I didn' know what a four-letter word was and so I innocently asked: "But M-A-N-U is also a four letter word?". But today, while watching the presidential debate, I couldn't help thinking that there is very soon going to be a new four-letter word added to the global vocabulary and it is: B-U-S-H. And it will very likely be used with the same oomph as the other popular four letter word. I can just hear it now: "Man, he really bushed that up."
My contempt for George Bush as the leader of the United States and as such a man in one of the most powerful political positions in the world is monotonically increasing. The more I see of him or hear of him, the more apalled I am as to how such an individual can be the president of the united states. He continues to harp on the same theme, but refuses to address the questions inspired by fact. Yes, you want to stay firm and be commited and be stadfast and resolute and strong and all that, but you also have to be open to reason and be able to admit when you make a mistake and take corrective action instead of constantly perpetuating the same fallacies.
Fortunately or unfortunately (honestly I don't know which) I cannot vote in the United States, but to all those who can: "Don't bush it up again".
