This is just to say

I'm not doing very well.

I'm crying at work.

Thoughts of miscarriage keep crossing my mind. Not as in, wanting to have one, but as in, how could the baby possibly live through this?

I know that's crazy.

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

As others have said, this is exactly why we are having children. We both work at our jobs to make the world a better place, in its own small ways, in our own corner. And we will raise our children to do the same, whether in their professional lives, their personal lives, or some other aspect.

This is why.

And this is why we will continue to fight. As will our children - we will raise little spitfires who will be outraged by the politico-messes of their day, and call home to blame us for screwing up the world. :) And we've got to look forward to that day.
