Since my last entry

Since my last entry, I spent a few weeks working as a Registered Nurse at the Bohemian Grove.  This annual gathering is one of the more interesting experiences I have had.  I met some very interesting people and many were not just Republican lap dogs but democrats, some liberal and some more conservative.  I worked with a bunch of outstanding Docs and Medics and that was the best thing.

I began work at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital in the Palliative Care Unit on June 20.  I love the unit and the staff.  It is difficult to become used to the schedule, a mix of AM and PM shifts.  Once settled in, it should become easier.  However, now that I have the degree completed I still think of Hawai’i, of Fiji, of all the places I have and have not been and the many places and people where there is such need.  

Recently, President (ha) Bush said we would not dishonor the dead by leaving Iraq.  Is it not dishonorable to be responsible for the deaths of Americans by continuing to stay?  We invaded Iraq simply for access to oil and bases.  There were no weapons of mass destruction and NO evidence of connection to terrorist conducting activities against the Americans.  I grow ever more disenchanted and each time that I think we have reached a new low our ‘President’ utters another lie (that he sincerely believes I think), makes a stupid statement and takes another unilateral action that further weakens the position of the United States and makes us new enemies.  Indeed, I am an enemy of Bush and all that he stands for.  He and his minions, his puppet masters are ignorant and ruining the ideals of this nation and the possibilities of what we could accomplish.
