THINK.....Hard

Don Henley Inside Job


HOW MUCH CAN ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE LIE ?
WOULD THEY LIE ABOUT DEAD PEOPLE AND HORRIFIC EVENTS?
WOULD THEY TRY TO EXPOIT THOSE DEATHS AND CALL IT "PATRIOTISM"?
( THEY LIED ABOUT "MISSING" WMD AND IRAQ)
DO THEY WANT US TO BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID ?
SO AFRAID WE STOP SEEKING THE TRUTH?
DO WE REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON 911?
SHOULDN'T WE KEEP ASKING FOR THE TRUTH?
AND NOW SHOULDN'T WE ASK ABOUT KATRINA?
HOW MANY REALLY DID DIE?
AND ABOUT IRAQ?
HOW MANY HAVE REALLY DIED?
AREN'T PEOPLE MORE THAN A NUMBER?
BUT HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE TO COUNT?
IT IS AN AWFUL QUESTION...
BUT SOMEONE HAS TO ASK....

WAKE UP FOLKS....
THINK.

here's this interesting essay by Mark Twain on the subject of patriotism...

wow, maineiac, Twain was seer on so many levels, warning against the collusion of newspapers (media) and politicians. "Patriot = the person who can holler loudest without knowing what he is hollering about." !!! This article is a great antidote to Ann Coulter's (I gag when I say her name aloud, in a "RedRum" voice) recent braying about liberals worshipping their ideals like a religion. Twain was all about The Truth & would be a firebrand in pursuing it re: 911 today. You found the perfect link for enigma's post. Thanks! D.K.

hey, DK, thanks for adding to my comment!

SOMA is an interesting site and I happened to catch the Mark Twain reference while reading the recent essays on "achieving tranquility", so I quickly perused the Twain essay as well...

i stumbled on a specific entry at the site many months ago while googling a quote by HST "i'm a road man for the lords of karma" and decided to keep it in my bookmarks...
