> 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!
