Who Needs Warriors? The Empire Does Send those men and women dressed in nice suits who run these phony wars to the hot desert's hornet's nest. Hand them the helmets and powerful killing instruments and let them act like the warriors that the commercials trumpet.

Working for the Man....Not the Masses One day on that job was enough for me. I went home and didn't show up the next day. What really hurt me was the fact that those workers didn't have the luxury that I still had. I lived at home and could move on whereas many of these folks couldn't.

Black Friday Amerika: 'Shop Till We All Drop'!! Many of my fellow Amerikans have been 'dumbed down'. The boob tube from the 1970s right up until present has completed its assignment of ridding the public of any real historical or counter mainstream political discourse or debate.

Happy ThanksGetting Day All the 'pomp and circumstance' revolving around this holiday is just that, to quote Ebenezer Scrooge (one month early) - Humbug! Of course, even the southern Colonial slaves and Northern 'indentured servants' of that era would be thankful to just have a roof over their heads and enough to eat each day.

Veteran's Day - The Military Industrial Empire's Chess Game Times like this become a 'Catch 22' for we who dissent against this empire. If you mind your manners and keep your mouth shut as the hype and hypocrisy abounds all around you, you become almost as bad as them.

Don't Step in the Tawanka! All I can say is 'Tawanka'! Regardless of what congressional seat or what state the seat is in the formula is always the same. With this Two Party/One Party system both the Republicans and Democrats each have their candidates well scripted.

Follow The Leader? As children we all probably played the game 'Follow the Leader'. Lots of fun and a purely safe game. Not so with this current low based political and social culture here in Amerika.

Money ( Always ) Talks ... And we suckers walk! Anyone who even occasionally checks current events knows how much money is spent on presidential elections. Each new cycle breaks the previous record, and on and on. Well, the ' buck ' ( no pun intended) doesn't stop there.
