Americans arent that stupid...
Ill have to say, lately ive been hearing a lot more opposition to the Bush Administration. For those of you whose main perspective on America is our COMPLETELY-SHITTY-ASS-MEDIA, i can assure you that much of the country doesnt feel any desire to fight for this purpose. Infact, many dont even care about weapons inspections, although that number is far smaller. Most of what you hear comes from America's "Ignorant and Arrogant" class... buuuuut, theres also the "Ignorant, but cares class" -- many of us that dont know because we are limited by propaganda and media coverage, but still want to do whats best. Ive participated in several peace rallies recently in the Seattle area here, and while im not really into protesting, i found a rather impressing amount of passion in many of the peoples voices. People actually care here, even though we still support the major corporations that fuck the world over, we want to do what we can. Americans are at a point where it is very difficult to survive if you do not support the cruelty of our governmnet some how. Our whole society and economy is so dependent on the international and corporate community that our citizens are left feeling overwhelmed, but happy with their nice cars and fancy computers... Ive thought about getting the Fuck out of here, moving somewhere else (not Canada though), but it seems much more appropriate to fight for honesty here, cause the truth is most of these governments are pretty fuckin scary...
anyways, i think its important that people from our countries continue to communicate, especially because some people can become isolated like us Americans.
America will probably go down in history as the most desperate attempt for perfection in a society, but due to its lack of listening (to the earth, to other cultures and to its own) will be seen as the most saddening human endeavour... yesterday i was reading a poem by my favorite spiritual father, Thomas Merton, about the Atomic Bomb. The poem is called "Original Child Bomb".. He points out that man has been trying to create this for so long and when the Americans finally made it they couldnt resist using it and thus making themselves the most powerful country in the world by sending this planet on an insane downward spiral of fear. No every day people everywhere on the planet know that everything can end within several hours... The U.S. is the only country to have used such a ridiculous instrument on other humans...
