BUSH CAN'T SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM HIS OWN FANTASIES

Years ago--as I remember--I was told by my own social worker that living--entrenched--in my own fantasies was unhealthy, and wouldn't give me a full, honest, view of what reality was like.

I was stuck in a rut, unable to escape what many saw was my own obstinance and irresponsible take on life. That if I could only keep myself immersed in my own brand of Star Trek fan-fiction, life would simply pass me by, and I would have no care in the world. Or who would care for me as I grew up.

Sadly, our own President is proving me wrong: You can live in your own fantasy world and still be head of the least powerful (and impotent) democratic form of government there ever was on this green Earth.

From Bush's take on Iraq, to his one-sided views about terrorists attacking us here if we were to leave Iraq, to his now odd take on people's opinions on him in recent polls. (He thinks we all agree with him on everything.)

Reflecting on this, I really wish I hadn't left my own fantasy world when I was a teenager. It certainly would've spared me this nightmare we now call the Bush Years...

18 years later.
