Music: Living Colour- Cult of Personality
I sat in 3rd hour Stat's class today. As usual Mr. Andrud plays some music, no big deal. Till this song by some country singer comes on. Im going to guess this song is called "Have you forgotten?" All this guy does is say stuff about Bin Laden being evil. Now I can understand how people mess the facts up, but this guy was going on and on about it like Bin Laden personally attacked the World Trade Center Towers. Honestly!? It wasnt him, it was his extremist lackeys. Also another part of it was about how apparently Iraq seemed to also attack us. They didnt! They supplied the lackey extremists.

Then later in the day the I was flipping channels. I see something about Legislation to beef up the Homeland security. Why? I dont see bombs exploding all over. Anyone else see it? They show clips of the Head of the CIA and FBI; these guys read off a paper, they most likely are reading for the first time, and they say crap about putting Counter Terrorist Agents in the places like North Korea and all the other "threats to America." Honestly, it seems all the media can do is tell us dribble stories about our soldiers not comign home, human bombs blowing up on the other side of the world, and the need to put cops on every street corner. Its almost as if Big Brother is moving in on us.

I guess the point Im trying to get at is the pro American way. Its become this message about "stopping terrorism" by attacking any country with an anti-American way of things. Dont get me wrong, I love The Bill of Rights, The Constitution, and Democracy. but is it worth putting American troops in every country? Do we need to start fights with an exucse of "they were trying to buy weapons of mass destruction!" I say no. We tried it, it didnt work, lets move on. There is other things in this world besides war.

Now Im sure that someone will disagree with something Ive wrote here. Honestly, if I actually took the time to read what I just put, I might find a better way to state it, too damned bad. I hate that song, I hate the pro-war/democratic system for all, big brother breathing down you neck attitude. End of story.
