    What's aggravation if not the loss of hope...loss of hope in the possibilty of resolution? Aggravation requires intensification and intensification requires a fuel. That fuel cannot come from another -- it comes from inside you. Withdraw the fuel and you'll withdraw the aggravation.

    Aggrevation is annoyance, irritation....try as you might, aggravation does not equal hopelessness. :) If I lost hope about it then it wouldn't bother me at all. I'd be like: 'Oh well, fuck em.' But I do hope for civil discourse and open means of communicating so I get aggravated when that starts to break down. I don't lose hope because I still try....maybe even harder than before. Maybe I shouldn't let these things irritate me but if I feel strongly about something I'm trying to discuss, it just does....just how I'm wrapped, I guess. I've never been ashamed of my emotions or abundance of them. Yeah, I might get worked up and even have my feelings hurt from time to time...but when I experience life I experience it with intensity and I wouldn't trade that for the world. :)

    Don't get too excited. I'm no notary.

    Olbermann's comments were amazing. Too bad the Bush supporters are too dumb to understand them...they can't get past the elementary good v. evil crap.

    Please define "good" and "evil".

    What is with the Yankee admin. Everything that they are they try and peg on the anti crowd? Nice work. I see a few on the board buy into it, hook, line and sinker.

    That is my point you cannot define "good" and "evil", but if you watch Bush's speech today, that is how he tries to simplify the state of the world right now, good v. evil. And those who vote[d] for him fall for it because they are either too lazy or too dumb to actually do research.

    How is something that you cannot define "elementary"?

    Anyway, the state of the world is good v. evil. But infighting should always be expected from evil.

    Bush et al, are "dumbing down" their entire foreign policy to a good v. evil argument (read the transcript of his speech today, it is unreal), hoping to continue to ride the uninformed voters at the polls in November.

    Yes they are. But that doesn't mean they're alone.

    The far-left has also "dumbed down" their entire foreign policy to a "power vs victimization" argument that is equally as foolish.

    What you're left with is one side of political spectrum that doesn't understand morality and another side that pretends morality doesn't exist.
