I finally watched "Recount".

[Solly Mack]

I think the tears started 10 minutes into the movie. The actual news clips tearing into me; ripping me apart all over again and
picking at the scab of a wound that will never heal. A wound made impossible to heal because of everything that has happened in the last 8 years. A wound made worse because of the last 8 years.

My mind flashed to -

To all the lives destroyed by criminal negligence and indifference. To the cavalier lies that have caused so much death and destruction - and continue to do so.

To families torn apart, never to be whole again.

To all the injustices and crimes. All the abuses of office and Constitutional violations.

To the self-righteous contempt used as a weapon to assault the American people with every single day for the last 8 years.

To the burden carried by decent people who feel the shame their government is incapable of feeling. Who cry out in pain and in anger against the torture their government has inflicted on others.

Who have struggled for 8 years, clinging to a belief in justice, only to be slapped across the face again and again with each new outrage.


Don't ask me to forget. I will not.

Don't ask me to move on and pretend. I cannot.

Don't speak to me of healing as long as the guilty remain free.










Thanks for listening.

I still haven't watched the movie, and I still don't plan to. I could barely deal with the opening of Fahrenheit 9/11. Watching a two-hour movie that basically comes to the conclusion that everyone already knows - that this country has been hijacked by fascists and that democracy in America is about as real as Santa Claus - would just be salt on the wounds that as you pointed out, will never, ever heal.

2. I'll have bad dreams tonight because of it.

Unfortunately...this nightmare is real and will be there when I wake up.
