READ! The Ones you Need to Advoid, The ones that refuse that lost the will to live

[i]"Now that we know how the military might be used, I can’t see why anybody would want to subject himself or herself to being abused and put in harm’s way for nothing, short of needing something from the military, like training or a better job than minimum wave serving burgers. But they will. Even here in this thread, there’s still so much positivity for the military and what it does. I guess that’s the point of the article.

The indoctrination of the American people is very thorough in this area, just as it is with voting and a dozen other issues. You’ll never get people to understand how little their military service serves the rest of us any more than you’ll get them to admit the obvious about their vote not mattering even when America was a democracy. Americans are told otherwise, emphatically and frequently, and that’s all there is to it. Most people are putty, passively and uncritically being embossed with bad and erroneous ideas: America good. Voting good. Military good. Drugs bad. Socialism bad. Taxes bad. Government bad. Terrorists evil. It’s pretty discouraging.

A few of you will know what I’m talking about, but most of you will just consider these words offensive nonsense. That’s fine. I already know that. That’s why I have no energy to try to buck it any more. America and Americans are hell-bent on waging stupid, horribly expensive, wasteful, useless and cruel wars. It’s what we do. Iraq and Drugs for two. Those two have no end. They can’t be won. That’s the beauty in the eyes of those prosecuting them. If I hated America, I would wish those two things on it, irreversibly, inextricably. Consider it done anyway.

But not all wars are unwinnable. You’ve got the war on the Constitution and civil and human rights. That’s a one-sided rout. You’ve got the war on the middle and lower classes. That one’s over. We lost. Those two go right to the heart of what America used to be, just like the wars democracy. Diebold and the Republicans won that one too. This is now a banana republic without the bananas. I love how everyone is glued to his or her news sources to see how Stupor-Tuesday turned out. Even Fox News is reporting on hacking elections, yet people go on rooting like it’s not the political equivalent of “pro” wrestling.

The war on the dollar and the economy is going swimmingly if you’re rooting for economic disaster. Bread and circuses. Trash for culture. Most good things under assault.

What I’ve learned is that none of that matters much after all, and that I can live without freedom, democracy, public prosperity, national optimism, pot or patriotism. Losing those things doesn’t really affect me nearly as much as I thought that it would. I like my job, love my wife and dogs, I’m happy to stay in with my books and computer. I’m not bored or sick or financially strapped. So, I’m OK with it all. Plus, I’m only here for a few more years to trade my skills for retirement buckos, and then I’m gone to a better place.

Carry on. "[/i]

Read the last part again.

Thats why Good men were shot.
Thats why men like me get hounded.
Thats why most brothers are in jail.
Thats why we are on the road to hell.

My Wife, My Dogs, My Books, My Computer, My Job.

Man does not live by these things alone. God Gave you a Mircale! WHERE IS THE PRAISE AND THE CHANGING OF THE HEARTS?

What happens when you LOSE ALL THESE THINGS?

Bring on the Salo: The 120 Years of Darkness. And when that ends... Man will just be a demon, toothess, brainless and souless.
