But i do not hold my allegiance to the government which bears rule over this piece of earthly real estate, i do not pledge allegiance to the flag. i am glad to see it as an old familiar freind however when i have been to mexico for a few days. This having been said, regardless of its source, i am glad cindy put the 'alledged' Shakespear' quote up. Many years ago, a dark pall fell over the American nation. Now this so called land of the free, is in chains it cannot possibly throw off without alot of blood shed. As the 'patriotic fervor' drums and fife blare in our ears, those at the helm knowingly worsen the problem. Where we are now, is no accident, and where we will end up is no accident either. We watch with horror, at least i do, WW2 footage of deathcamps, and are told to parrot the words, 'Thank G-d it will never happen here!' All the while, the preparations are being made for just that. Home of the brave and land of the free, are only so much illusions. There is a reason, that the U S, "the Leader of the Free World" "Cannot build prisons fast enough", in Texas, it is the #1 growth industry. And of course, it is for our own good. These complexes will be used in time, for political dissidents, as well as any who do not, "love America". Manuel Noriega, is a leading example of just what lengths they will go to to shut up those anywhere in the world who will not shut up and play 'nice'. 6 million people a year are arrested for 'crimes' which have no victim, loss of property or complainant. Property is siezed without warrant and sold to any bidder, which has not been in any way used in the commision of any crime. families are left, jobless, homeless, and marked for life, for nothing. King George 2 is loosing credibility at home, so, lets bomb a country we have already "bombed into the stone age" because, we say he has weapons of massed destruction. What is mass destruction? i have been in the military, and have seen some of our 'lightwieght' weapons at work, the ones we lob at people like peanuts. Just one of these can take out several buildings and hundreds of people at a shot... yet we're the good guys? Hypocrasy has put on the masked of Patriotism, and we cover our bloodsoaked selves with the flag and tell the world, 'if your not with us your agin us, so here is whats coming your way'. With great applause and adulation the UN heard the words basically, "its our way , or your in the way" from our good king. i am not so sure the rest of the world, is as naturally violent as we are, and worry something fierce what will happen when the bubble of illusion bursts, they wake up and say, 'we won't take it any more'. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, it is a universal constant and reality, thus the reaction becomes an action and the cycle beigns anew. However, because were 'americans' we have sidestep this, because might makes right. i used to look at the people who are leaving the U S as loathesome expatriots, now, i am looking into at least Dual Citizenship under the exiled gov. of Tibet, because that is the only 'gov'. remotely reflecting how i feel a gov. should conduct itself. i know, this is anything but an uplifting statement, sorry for that. But at least here, i can vent abit, and then get refreshed and uplifted. Blessings, Peace Profound, and Namaste' to all. james --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
