While there are death showers raining on the children of the desert sun we walk through the streets of America riding the wave of confusion. Are we too preoccupied with our TV shows, IPODs, and the sexual orientation of Tom Cruise. Did we forget that there is a war going on and the death toll still rises? Have we forgotten about our brothers and sisters still in the line of fire? Have we forgotten about the Texas joker and the oil he breathes while my brothers are bleeding in a country I haven’t seen?

Treachery, bureaucracy, politcal labotamy

you know... it some ways I support this deviation and in some ways im against it.

Like basically what it's saying is that you want to stop a war by creating a new one. If people were to go out and riot about a war that's going on, it sure as hell wouldn't stop it. It would force national security to stop the war which would they lead to other problems that the security could be solving.

this is bullshit!

I appreciate your opinion. Your comment is exactly what I was going for or any other comment for that matter. It isn't the opinion that is important. I don't fully agree with the war based on the core principles that brought us there in the first place. I have several friends that are currently serving in Iraq. One black ops and a few regular army. The media is distorting how happy some of the people are to be freed of the tyranny. That doesn't change the fact that my opnion is this is about business. But I amg etting side tracked. I believe that americans have become to comfortable in having only opinions and they forgot what makes are country truely unique . . . Power of the People. Our current generation needs to remember the lessons of our fore fathers and we need to fight for change. Our house and senate are filled with consipiricy I doubt the average MTVer even understands the electoral college. We need to turn off MTV and bring the voice of our nation back to those that truely make this country run. The Farmers, the factory workers, The Blue Coller Middle Class Americans that have their opinions brutely taken from them and are treated like children from the ever wise opressing big brother. I don't mean to rant but that is just my opinion and I do value yours because we are free to discuss what we like and dislike about our country freely and openly.

BTW - Thanks for the artistic comments. I am working on a set of these and I am stuck on the second one right now. Any Suggestions?
