My foray into my contemporary literature class has taught me this: if you are well-educated, well-read, and speak your mind without a second thought of what people think, then you are a communist. No questions asked, no qualms about it, you are a big, pinko, commie bastard and the world would be a better place without you stirring up all this trouble. This country is being taken over by corporations. We are waging a war against a country just for the oil and don't you let anyone tell you we are trying to free those people, because we aren't. We are imperialist bastards who are setting up a puppet government. The Iraqi leaders are only window treatments placed there to give the illusion that they are running the government when they in fact are not. All the money we get is stained with the blood of their people and our soldiers. We harvest thier blood and sweat and eat their flesh and grow fatter from it. President Bush says he will unite the country and reach out to the democrats. I don't think that needs to happen. I think the country needs to be divided, otherwise he will take us apart bit by bit until there is nothing left and we are all detained for thinking gay marriage is okay, or for thinking that medical insurance needs an overhaul, or for simply not agreeing with our government. Freedom of speech and assembly are probably the two most important rights we have and they are being stifled. "Free Speech Zones"? Where ever you talk is a free speech zone. We need to start a revolution. I was very sad that only 17% of people ages 18-25 went out and voted. Fuck you guys. I am a part of that generation and we are the largest age group aside from the baby boomers and the baby boomers have fucked things up for us. We are the last chance. We can take over and better ourselves for it. My dad told me the other day that my generation better do something because his completely fucked it up. To the people wanting to go to Canada: don't. Stay here and fight the good fight. If you leave, they win. Start a revolution. Start small, speak your mind, get an obscene bumper sticker, wear an obscene shirt, fight censorship, write your congressperson, get informed (Fox News is not news) and be an American and not apathetic. We have been apathetic for too long and need to rise up or be trampled.
