A Mighty Heart

I rented A Mighty Heart last night with my free coupon.  I love Angelina Jolie, and she didn't disappoint.  

I feel like the whole middle east situation is beginning to get to me.  I hope I don't end up with burnout like some of my friends who refuse to discuss or even acknowledge there is a situation.   It just all seems so hopeless when dealing with people who are so filled with such an incredible amount hate, have such narrow tunnel vision, and who have no regard for human life whatsoever.  

I am very simple minded.  In my mind the answer should be to develop our own forms of energy so as not to be dependent on that part of the world - and wash our hands of that whole region.  While I know that this could never happen, I'm sad that our nation makes no attempt whatsoever to free itself from dependence on middle east oil.  I find this so incredibly frustrating.

Here in Texas it's the same thing. Citizens are fighting the development of wind farms in Corpus Cristi saying it will affect the natural habitat and bird migration. This coming from a state filled with people who have at least one V-8 vehicle per household (75% of which is usually a Hummer).
