Bush is a monster

Done any reading about Gen. Wesley Clarke lately? Apparently, he nearly started WWIII in Kosovo by ordering an attack on the Russian troops there. Fortunately, the lower officers countermanded the order. My point is, left and right are a distraction when all involved are statist religionists. We need a a statist reformation.

As far as invading Iran and Syria, the neocons want another draft, so that's what I would expect to see in the coming years if this nonsense continues unabated. Americans learned nothing from Vietnam--vets willingly allow their kids to enlist so as to "carry on the tradition" or perhaps so they can keep lying to themselves that their sacrifice was really worth something. Don't I wish it was...

The monster is in all of us. I see it in all your posts. Who is this "we" you all talk about? I am playing no part in the invasion of other countries, and I take offense to being lumped in with the war party and all that it stands for. Until "we the people" can understand the our federal government is not "we", "we" aren't going to get very far. Whenever I talk about this stuff now, I make a conscious effort to say "the government" and not "we" because it is obvious to me that they aren't one and the same. "They" talk about trillions and billions, while "I" struggle to not become homeless.

I wonder how much longer I can go on being an unemployed idealist? At least I'm not paying any income taxes!
