One thing that should sadden all of us is that our countries priorities arent straight. Especially here in California. You are looking at a state that has been raped of dignity and billions of dollars from a company from Texas (Enron) and isnt recieving a dime from the US government to counter our $32 billion debt. While our economy is in a downward spiral of unemployment and a rising trend (7.5% as of October) in crime and we are being ignored is bullshit.
Not only that, but more or less California is a pawn in the war. Destroying Iraq is not gonna give us better schools, its not gonna improve the quality of life, its not gonna stop crime. We are one if not the most liberal state in the union and probly have one of the largest percentages of people opposing the war, yet great deals of our population, most from the San Diego area, will be the first in line to die for our country.
It saddens me that our president is such an idiot, and it saddens we even more that enough people would vote a tyrant like him into office. His "tax cut" policy is another example of trickle down, racists economics and his basis for new jobs and money flow is a war. And worst of all, he has made his biggest priority Iraq...I could have told you 5 years ago that North Korea is a more dangerous threat than Iraq because they have ceased any relations with the US, continually built a weapons program and have China to the north controlling their sphere of influence. Don't get it twisted, we would fuck China and North Korea up, but please believe if we go in pistols blazing trying to shut North Korea down China will bring millions of troops to aid them and it will be a bloody battle, not this "two-week war" Rumsfield is talking about in Iraq (and it aint gonna be two weeks folks).
Remember that September 11th happened because we bully other countries and use our influence to control them...think about that next time you think we should blow another 3rd world country out the water. We are a neo-imperialist country.
Not an artist...but my 2 cents.
