| Thank God for the 2nd ammendment, because when the people realize that our government's actions after 9/11 were ploys to ammend people's anxieties and stimulate consumption for the capitalist machine, (the market dropped significantly, in case no one knew. It dropped so low that Bush had to appear on TV like a doofus to read his cue cards that said "BUY MORE COMMODITIES, THE RICH AREN'T GETTING ENOUGH PROFITS). It's also interesting that new ammendments like the 'patriot act' now track our every keystroke and phone call, as well as movement. I'll use Bugs' method here:
Ponder: U.S. soil was finally attacked (pearl harbor also counts, I guess), which was a big shock to the nation. Afghanistan has a very complicated history if colonization (from Russia) and other groups that are within it's history. There must have been a reason why there was an aggression against us. And I'm sick of ignorant Americans, who have no experience of the East Asiatic countries and the middle East, linking Osama to Sadam. The causes are what need to be explained, instead of the effects (such as the patriot act). This nation is not fit for a totalitarian regime, which is what the patriot act leans us toward.
Ponder: Maybe we aren't always the friendly stars and stripes that come to 'liberate Iraq'. Why didn't we help Castro liberate Cuba from that nasty dictator Bautista, who did more than his fair share of torture. Why didn't we help liberate Algeria from the French, who also did their fair share of torture. Why didn't we help the Sandinistas liberate themselves from their dictator in Nicaragua. These countries have something in common. There wasn't an American 2nd ammendment for the people, but they took it upon themselves to use arms to rid the facist oppressors. Luckily, the 2nd ammendment gives us that right. |
