Comment:

Each day the news grows darker: An invasion of Iraq seems imminent. Witness the anticipation in the eyes of the anchors and correspondents; smell the impending slaughter in the newsprint of columnists banging their war drums. Steel yourself, because it's almost midnight in Bush and Cheney's Garden of Evil Oil Interests.

No amount of mental preparation will be enough to shield you from the soon-to-be-reported images of smart bombings, bloodshed and body bags. But it helps to have the right music on hand to assuage the psychological trauma.

Yeah. This is sad but true. Feel free to send me a copy, if you feel up to it, Tom. I think I'll be needing this (along with my own soundtrack that I might compose--but not post--in honor of this).

Yeah. It's obvious Bush & cronies are waiting to say "you didn't comply...now you must die." It's sad this fine mix is even necessary.

yep. this is a killer mix. That's what Bush?Blair are killers. Going to kill more innocent civilians to get their hands on the oil. How low can a human being get. Also risking US/UK civilian and military lives for their evil ends. The situation in the middle east is still unresolved after more than half a century, Afghanistan is still smokin' (And they ain't caught bin laden yet), and they want to go and start another war. I feel like screaming.

you know what makes it better? in 25 years we probably won't even be using cars that are powered by oil derived fuels...i think comedian David Cross says it best: "he's only doing the job that we sort of not really actually DIDN'T elect him to do."

You might want to check out "War Again" by Boingo. Which is Danny Elfman without Oingo Boingo. Really good and a good album.

I only wish every pro-war chickenhawk would knowingly, willingly go to war AND send their children as well. One non-anonymous blood soaked body bag might be enough to change his opinion. I don't have the web link handy, but do a search for the "Chickenhawk List" - you'll be "shocked", I'm sure to learn how virtually every loudmouth pro-war pundit and politician has NO military service in their background. I tell ya.... it's just sickening. This ain't a game of Risk, for christ's sake!

Fuck you Lally and CASETTA! I doubt you two ever served either. I am so sick of you pansy ass pacifist who are basically supporting the enemy with your actions. Look at Britains Chamberlain in WWII, that is where we would be headed if horses asses like you had a say. Personally I hope some motherfucking raghead blows the shit out fucks like you. USA USA USA USA USA! LETS ROLL!!!

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenary into a patriotic fervor,for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.It both emboldens the blood,just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know?For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar"

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

there are no angels on either side. war may be a forgone conclusion, but they have at least been offered terms:
Iraq Quickly Violates U.N. Resolution:
Saturday, Nov. 16, 2002
WASHINGTON - Iraq's firing on coalition aircraft this week violated the United Nations' new resolution and gives the United States the right to complain to the Security Council, a White House spokesman said Friday.

You dumbfucks love to disgrace our President, don't you? Not a single one of you has ever served so how dare you make it an issue with him. Odds are you fuckers would be protesting a war which not a single member of Bush's team ever did. None of this shit would be happening if it wasn't for 8 years of crap called Clinton. Bush is doing a great job cleaning up that perverts mess. Face it liberal losers, It is Bush in 2004 and Jeb in 2008. By the way quoting Nazi's is something you jackass liberals do all the time. Nazis stands for National Socialist Party. SOCIALIST are leftest fucking liberals so who are the Nazis? I will tell you. It is anti-american assholes like you, Daschle, Gephart, the two lesbo cunts named Pelosi and Hillary and all the other DEMONcrats. I am uneducated white trash? Call me what you want. I have a job. I am not a welfare check recieving crack head like you. As for uneducated? Degrees don't impress me. You are products of the greatest threat this nation has and that is the liberal agenda of teachers. The vast majority of teachers are brainwashing our kids with leftist ideas. They are on par with child molesters.

AmericanX, you may not believe this but I support and would even fight for your right to be a total moron. I am not going to waste my energy explaining how your logic and knowledge of history is flawed. I am sure you have been spoon fed by the world of talk radio "entertainers" who masks themselves as "fair" and "objective" and feed the propaganda to you. Believe what you wish, it is your right.

I challange you Mr. X to make a mix to support your views. I would welcome you to respond in such a fashion and would very impressed as well. So what do you say? You can make it about hating liberals, killing Iraqis, why you hate women in power, why you fear teachers. I'd love to see what you would do. You can even ask for help too and some of us "jackass's" might even help you out. So c'mon, what do ya say?

paper feet


paper feet,
made soggy by your tears:

a land of strength and steel,
a world of oil and sand;

a future no one knows,
made denser by your fears.

where will our bullets lead us?
and where will my child swing tomorrow?

~

many voices,
that shout across a room:

some are saying this,
and some are shouting that;

they have drawn in their sides,
and wait to march the streets;

but how can they hope to march
when they plan to do so with paper feet?


(made soggy by your tears)
