We talk of taking back our country. But you can’t take back what was never really yours. And of working to fix the system. But what is left of the “system” worth salvaging? We lay claim to freedom and to equality. Government by and for the people, fodder of war, commodities of industry, for the privileged class to plunder and squander for their profit and amusement. Pathetic delusions of democracy where the will of the many lay trampled beneath the avarice and unbridled power of the few. Can you understand now why the powerless, oppressed, and disenfranchised strap explosives to their bodies and seek release and redemption in martyrdom and bloody slaughter? Or maybe you believe, that violence is never the answer, that patience is a virtue and right the only weapon against gun, and tank, and drone. Or maybe you believe they ought follow our example. First to avail themselves of courts and legislatures, and then, when all else fails take to the streets in quiet protest and dissent, under the watchful eye of occupiers or Homeland Security thugs, tear gas and cannon at the ready, to parade politely and nonviolently, through the capitals of power, appealing to corrupted consciences with signs of witty sayings, chanting hackneyed slogans from the barbed wire confines of free speech pens, pigs fattened by moral hubris principles strapped to their bodies compliantly herded for the slaughter while pretending to make a difference. |

as a nation therefore,we should have some hope and believe we the people will strive to be better people and present no opportunity for further degradation of our nation.look you please: every group out there knows that much right now they might be diametrically opposed or corrupt or self serving or pre emptively assassinating character or best guessing or generally: picking the wrong way to do the right thing but very few really want us to fail so badly they believe the false sacrifice of martyrdom is a benefit to the almighty etc.
but, really: well done on your work! best of luck .
