but still, i cry from joy everytime my brothers and cousins come home…just as they did from me…

stay frosty everyone

Something is going to change about the way things are now. For the better. I know it. While there are all these bad things, the forces of positive change are building up like a shaken soda.

I’m young. I don’t know much about the world, only what I hear and what I try to find out.
From what I hear, I believe there is indeed an ” Other America”.

I really appreciate what the Flobots have to say, and their influence on popular culture. I think it’s very important for children, adults, teenagers- the whole lot- to know what is going on out there. Neutrality is over rated. Take your stand. Talk openly about things.

Fear is our biggest enemy.

Knowledge and enlightenment are our biggest assets.

describes on the first page a pretty blatant abuse of our government money by a company hired to build a police college in Iraq,(I.E: It was literally a ’shit hole’) and let me remind you of that 12 of our soldiers over there have now been killed by faulty wiring near showers and, in one case, a pool.

That, above all else, is what disgusts me. That we are paying these companies with our tax dollars to go and make a fool of whatever cause our troops our fighting for, to waste it on personal luxuries, to damn well KILL our troops…it makes it all seem so much more pointless then it was before.

…And wow, reading that Rolling Stone article again, I’m seeing that someone’s commenting with descriptions of their own suffering under a corporation called “SAIC.” They were a systems engineer there and…wow. Wow.

Oh god…and the video on that website.

“The system where the rich get poorly paid to hold the latter where the rich get ricocheted into the stratosphere. And in between people are rushing like Vladimir with metals to make their status clear. Get us out of here!”

Now, once we were in place and had somewhat of a backing it was time for payback. Junior and most of the same guys that were in place during Gulf War I had an opportunity to push us into taking Iraq as they wanted us to do the first time. I can’t say how I know certain things because of my position in the first Gulf War but Bush Sr. was the only thing that stopped us from running straight through the middle east in 91. Without his influence this time his cronies pushed us into this full force. Why? Pretty much everything you said contributed. And it all pretty much comes back to greed. Not the US controlling oil but these major players controlling infrastructure, military buildup and their own investments in the business of war. Let me stress that again. Not the US but a small group of people and organizations who have vested interest in the US maintaining a war footing. As I said before, we will always be somewhere but this time it has much more reaching implications. Because of this play for power we have created an environment that will either keep us there for years to come or if we pull out now or soon will bring us back into a much more major conflict in the near future.
