In his unending journey to prove he is decades behind the 8-ball, President Bush declared on The News Hour last night that, "Americans sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible image of war on TV"
Peace of mind? I vaguely remember that. Wasn't it popular in that bygone era when things like a living wage, secure pension, affordable healthcare and bankruptcy protection were also part of the vernacular.
Peace of Mind is the 8- track tape player of states of mind, but we are living in a digital download world.
It seems to me that while many of us lay awake nights trying to figure things like how to pay for healthcare, how to save for your kids college, pay your rent, and panic that the earth will be underwater before the kids even make it to college, peace of mind is running at a deficit before we can even find the time to sit down and see the terrible images of war on TV.
Correction Mr. President, most hardworking Americans "Sacrificed their peace of mind" roughly 6 years and 2 months ago.
This president has often said he sleeps well, so maybe he's the one person who still has peace of mind to lose. As for the rest of us, we probably would lose it, if it wasn't already used up on all the other things that keep us up at night
