Poverty Draft. I was not aware, until recently, that there was ever an option to remove one's self from fighting in a war when enlisted in the military. Then, I learned about "Conscientious Objector" status. An objector either changes their mind about the whole killing thing after they join the military, grew spiritually and followed a more righteous path, or realized that the Military may pay for your college, but you gotta do some nasty shit back for them. Most people come from the last category, which is mostly poor, naive people, looking for a way to fund their education. Then they get sent off with a rifle, and a pat on the ass, and expected to be killing machines. There are all sorts of ways for soldiers to opt out, but usually these methods are obfuscated. The Military doesn't want you to leave once you're in there, apparently. And when you leave, you are ostricized, and harrassed. For doing what you believe to be the right thing. Damn, this shit still goes down... Tuesday, October 21 2003Insert Heart Here. An unheard-of report comes from the depths of hell, er, I mean the bowels of the defense department. Turns out that there MIGHT be SOME kind of ALTERCATION, and that there may be DIFFICULTIES ahead. PERHAPS. Rumsfeld the warmonger has a heart. Was it the wizard behind the screen? Where did he find it? How much longer is it going to be before the rest of the warmonger tribe in suits finds theirs? Damn, I hope it's soon. Monday, October 20 2003Back off, Greedy fuck. Yesterday, the United Nations Secretary General announced that some people "pursue unsustainable levels of consumption." Oh wow. I didn't know if he noticed the opulence of this country, but hell, yeah. Born and bred to use and throw away, disposable, and (overused)immediate gratification. This is stuff that's been put into our heads for YEARS. I wonder if anyone is going to own up to that. A press release from some mega-corpo-swashbuckling organization that states: "We deliberately mislead you, public, into believing that our product was necessary for your survival and success. We also did not respect the environment when we built our huge capacity factory a couple miles upstream from that protected wetland habitat. In addition, you may have cancer metasisizing in your brain from coincidental doses of our product. Thanks for being a loyal customer." Sunday, October 19 2003Oops. Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Or it was never in it in the first place. Yes, that seems appropriate. The International Atomic Energy Agency has declared that no such evidence exists to support the Iraqi-Mass-Destruction weapon theory. I don't know about you, but that kind of makes our president look like quite an asshole. And to think he projects the air of American supriority when (oh, god, I hope) nothing of the sort ACTUALLY exists. Thursday, October 16 2003No more food. Who knew that 30% of the UN's Oil-for-Food program revenue would go to organizations claiming losses during the invasion of Kuwait. Well, that's all deceptive and evil, and I'm glad that it's ending. The program is to be "phased out" by November 21. I don't know if I trust anyone in the oil industry as far as I can spit. After that, are they renaming the program? Perhaps Oil-for-nothing program? Let's see Bush & Co. pass that one through. |
