Then next thing I know, we are going after osama bin laden and that we were going end this terrorist threat once and for all (Good for us). Then months after months pass and the greatest most powerful nation in the world couldn't find one tall ass dirty turban man. Then George bush starts talking about how that IRAQ and how Saddam Hussein was actually supporting the terrorist and was going to be providing the terrorist with WMDs.
Now we are in iraq and we have been there since 2002. (Later, we find that George and his croonies may have been less than honest) A tiny little country mainly populated with people shitting in the streets. Then we toppel the government, arrest Saddam, and have now got them going with a consitution. Yet, we are still there and our government is saying we will be there for many more years.
We have protesters in washington DC at least 500
that we know off, and the only thing getting coverage on TV is Rita, and Ashton and Demi's wedding nuptials. I admit Rita should get coverage, but so should Sheehan and her group. I remember that in history class in high school we were told how our country was "the" country. The greatest nation ever, and that every other country except our "simple friends" up north, were dirty and barbaric and lived in backwards societies. Ours is a nation of freedom and democracy were every voice matters. That by voting we can make a difference (God, Country, Puppy Dogs, Lemonade, and War)
I guess what I am trying to say, is that we are not a country, we are not a democracy, this is not a great nation. This is a company, run by a board of directors, a CEO, and Shareholders. The employees of this company work and toil and are given the company plamplets to read, we are to think alike, dress alike, and spout the company motto.
I have also come to understand over the years, that in the end, what we are discussing here will never be anything more than the ranting of a group of disidents that will most likely be fired. The NeoCons will win and will continue to win, because they are the ones who have power.
Yes, those of us in the Forum are an enlightened group we are the ones who want to see change, but there are not enough of us to make a difference. I am hoping that Sheehan can, I hope that she will start to get more and more to join her cause and maybe make a little difference.
What I typed here is my opinion and is pretty hard to follow, since I am not very good with words. All, we can really hope for is that maybe the world will fall apart post peak, it always seems that the world is always the brightest and happiest after the dark ages. Maybe, just maybe if everthink crashes down the toilet and there is a world wide regimine change, we might get a few hundred years of introspectivness.
I don't know... what do you think?
(No, just kidding..)
One person can't make a difference nor can 10, 100, 1000, or 100,000. I know I can't count of my fellow Americans because we have now started the new television fall lineup and there is a lot of good reality on tv.
