George Bush protecting your civil liberties by breaking them

War is so different these days. Back in WWI, men marched in a line to their deaths, wearing bright uniforms! 1 million died in one battle! Today, the new war is a war of ideologies...loyalties...and no clear "good guy". I mean seriously....even Bush says that the U.S. is addicted to oil! It is the truth! There is the early signs of a world competing for limited resources.The C.I.A. drones in the sky are getting better at survellance....but we are spending upwards of a Trillian dollars to protect "our way" of life....the idea of Patroitism is itself almost an idolatry in a strict orthodox Christian interpretation of values!

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. --Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Has anyone ever seen this film: Why We FightMy friend told me about it....I have not yet seen it. It explains a lot, however. (At least the website does) Click on the link pics around the page and watch the Macromedia presentations...this film seems like quite a statement!This message has been edited by Phat, 02-04-2006 07:57 AM
