I'll get right to the point. I find it utterly incomprehensible that any sane, loving, caring person can for one second stomach the concept of "shock and awe". Four years ago we were all mislead, lied to by a group of power-hungry, oil-thirsty, control addicts. "Shock And Awe" was the war campaign slogan. To see this blatant display of human evil and violence flash across my computer screen as though the media were simply informing us of some benign happening is something I cannot take. I do not see how ANYONE can.
What in the fucking hell is wrong with our values in this country? Am I missing something? Since when did it become OK to slaughter thousands of civilians FOR NO GOOD REASON? And even IF there were some logical, legitimate reason, when did it become ok to CELEBRATE such an occasion?
I'm about ready to kiss this greedy, profit-mongering, self-centered, rugged individualistic bullshit excuse of a country good-bye. Is it so much to ask for a peaceful life where fairness and honesty are in play? Is it too much to ask for leaders who care more about preserving life for all people above and beyond their addictive need to be seen and hold that gavel of power? Is it too much to ask for work I enjoy that pays a living wage and offers benefits and hours that are doable to my needs? And is it too much to ask for this wage to pay for a home of our own (land included)?
Apparently so. At least right here in the good 'ole us of fucking a. Land of the free, home of the brave. And don't forget, shock and awe.

It is an obscenity, isn't it? But then with S/A the target audience, us, don't have to suffer like the real targets themselves. Only when we suffer as well will people start to wake up.
