What Do We Celebrate This Year?
The Fourth of July is coming up and I'm wondering how we will celebrate? Or should we even be celebrating at all?
It is immoral for the United States government AND the U.S. citizens to stand back and allow American soldiers to needlessly die until September. That is the time frame General Petraeus has to make his "surge report" and Congress intends to force the President into any necessary adjustments at that time. This entire "Democracy By Force" policy was doomed from the start as the entire war was based on misinformation, miscalculations, ignorance, and lies. This "surge" tactic hasn't shown one inch of progress and many military experts believe upwards of 500,000 troops would have to be on the ground for it to even have a remote possibility of working.
Between now and September, how many hundreds of troops will needlessly die? What will we be forced to conclude in September that we cannot conclude now, or even back in December when this was first proposed? The media allowed itself to be exploited by Ann Coulter this week so she can publicly state how the U.S. won't be successful in Iraq until we blindly carpet bomb millions of Arab citizens with the insane idea that only this will break the will of the insurgency/terrorists. Meanwhile the American people distract ourselves from everything but the reality that we allow innocent men, women and children to die because we're too lazy and complacent to put pressure on our political leaders to find a resolution NOW.
Congress will be taking a 10-day break for the Fourth of July and eat hot dogs, hamburgers, and watch firework shows, while we shake our fists at the job they're doing thus far. Well I'm sorry, we should be kicking their asses back to Washington and make them stay there until they actually accomplish something of value. For example, saving valuable American lives by allowing the Iraqis stabilize their nation. It's impossible to win another country's civil war, especially when the two major opposing sides (Shiites and Sunnis) will ultimately be enemies of the United States. I don't care if the Democratic majority doesn't have enough votes to get their bills through. It is their duty to at least send the same bills up to the White House OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again. The odds are that one of them will slip through because President Bush and the Republicans can only deny world opinion and REALITY for only so long. The Democrats have to remind President Bush and what's left of his base that the real issues facing this nation will need real results, and those results MUST come sooner than later.
While you're celebrating your day off from work with friends and family, please remember that a micro contingent of the American population fights them over there to allow us to be immoral, greedy, hypocrites over here.
Happy Fourth of July America!

I am a SICKO!
"Who are the SICKOS? Is it the insurance companies? Is it the drug companies? Is it the physicians? Is it the politicians that pander to them all?
After thinking about the question for a couple of minutes, I realized:
I AM THE SICKO!
Sure, there are more just like me. But I am the worst of the worst because I know better. I know that we allow ourselves to be brainwashed that we truly live in a THEM against US world. That the American way of life is the best possible way of life and you are a enemy of the state if you dispute this belief. Hell, a new poll just came out and said 41% of the American people still believe there’s a connection between Iraq and 9/11. Even in a world that now has instant communication via phone and Internet. Even in a world where sound and images can never be lost and forgotten in time due to YouTube, "the powers that be" is still able to keep the masses deaf, dumb, ignorant and afraid of reality. We, the American people, CONSISTENTLY vote and act against our own best interests. We allow abortion, gun rights, taxes, and gay marriage to weigh more on our political decisions and alliances than health care, livable income, education and the environment.
Today, THIS VERY MINUTE, both the Democrats and Republicans are allowing our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and strangers to fight and die in Iraq because they want to wait until September (or beyond) to call the “surge” failed, and this policy insane even though its obvious to the rest of the world now! We ALL know that we can make the necessary adjustments to save lives today, and that we could’ve made three years ago, and that we will be forced to make three months or three years from now. Yet, we won’t, and WHY?
A person in the film "SICKO!" stated the difference between the French and the Americans is: “The French government fear their People, while the American People fear their government.”

What is Illegal Immigration to Me?
Who are The Forgotten Forty?
Who is Mister Anderson?
In this world, we love to categorize and sub-categorize everything and everyone. It's not enough to be a human. You must be labeled down to the finite so you can be properly filed.....and then.....forgotten.
I no longer care how or where I am filed because like the millions of others who share my "demographic", we will be left and locked in cold storage. A place so cold, a place so dark, that even "time" cannot escape. (Wow, that was deep! ;-) So without further delay.....
