I was slightly unsure of where to put this as Ani Difranco is known as a musician. But my super-stoned-logic said this was the place to be. I really respect and look up to Ani as a female role model. I do not agree with everything she stands for in life, but there is no doubt she is an amazing and talented person. Every time I listen to this, I'm first enamored by how she touches me with her words, but then how Americans will never take that fucking elevator up. It is shameful. I call my representatives! I call them, fax them, write them… Why isn't everyone?<o></o> <o></o>When will it be time for Americans to take the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1>United States</st1></st1:country-region> back? Do we have to go to war with yet another country? re-institute the draft? loose all of our cuddly polar bears? I'm so tired of fighting and when so many Americans are letting the country go to hell. Agh… I'm slightly off on a tangent. I really only wanted to share Ani's clip with you all… I didn't mean to go on a mini hate the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1>US</st1> </st1:country-region>government rant.
