IF we continue to have jobs that pay shit and cut educational grants and spending.... then of course the military becomes a huge option and the best part is.... a "draft" won't be necessary. This has been IMHO a plan from day 1 with Bush. It's not about winning Iraq (that's just a "practice")....

My fear (and paranoidal as it may seem to some) is that our military build up is to take offense against those countries we have trade deficits against (China, Japan, Europe). Hence the new found patriotism and "you are either with us or against us" talk.

Whether or not my fears are just me or true..... one glaring thing is very obvious.... the greed and total disregard of our troops is heavy in "contracting" companies..... that take money and are slow on the provisions.... or overcharge for fuel and so on... and the fact that our troops are not as well trained as we want to believe.

But the biggest tell of how this administration truly feels should be obvious in the talk about the "we love our veterans" as they close VA hospitals, take away retiree benefits and treat the vets like crap. Very telling.

Why do you think we give out ritilin and war games are always #1 sellers and we go to great lengths to decry sex on television and in movies but violence (and the gruesomer the better) in movies and televion is ok? It's called desensitizing.

Also why do you think all these "anti-depressents" hurt sex drives so much? It's all about control and getting people ready for combat and take away true emotions.....

Of course I'm just paranoid that way..... or is there fact behind this paranoia???????

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
