1639

1639.

That's how many Americans have died so far in the " war on terror " . I don't even know what to say about that. It is shocking to me that people continue to buy what's being " sold " about this so-called-war. I can't help but remember how it was eight years between the first attack on the WTC and the last one. Even evil takes time. If I'm right, and I'd be happy to be wrong here, the reason there hasn't been another attack in the US is because it takes time. It's not because W has done such a stellar job at keeping us safe. Think about it. Everyday we lose more lives. W is sending Americans into a place they cannot defend and to do a job that is largely unclear. Every time the " white noise " of criticism starts to hit its crescendo, they crank up the color code to remind us to stay fearful. Noam Chomsky will speak in a hundred towns about how the media has such a chokehold on us, yet it's the same handful of us that hears it. He is largely silenced by all other media. Read his website. Then do the defiant act of actually THINKING FOR YOURSELF about what he said.

Enough bitching. But I will not stop counting the dead. 1639 is a disgrace and people should be in an uproar about it.
