Why doesn't this generation (gen x) & (gen y) make this KIND of statement!?!? Why are we accepting the status QUO?!?!
We NEED change NOW more than ever!!! The US is hemorrhaging...
I have borrowed this comment from an HPer who sums it up so well.
House2008 said... I've always maintained that with this White House/Administration, America was burning except it was a 'smokeless' burn. You can't smell it, taste it, hear it, but sure in the 'hell' can see it happening around you. The collapses are invisible, almost surreal, in that the buildings are still standing but just not habitable. Posted: December 17, 2007 at 7:35 PM on HP Blog.

That is a great song! Thanks for posting it. I have not heard this song in a very long time... Brings back memories!!!
"Why doesn't this generation (gen x) & (gen y) make this KIND of statement!?!?"
------------------
Huh? Could you please repeat that? Let me first put down my GameBoy, pull the earplugs out of my ears, and turn off my iPod.
LOL!!! How TRUE is that....
It's as though they don't care about what is happening around them or simply don't want to get involved or they are afraid to express themselves!
Everybody has been soooo brainwashed about terrorism, that they are afraid of being accused as a terrorist. Better yet the citizens of the US feel threatened by our current gov't that if they speak UP, they will be deemed a terrorist!!!
Well, PM, you can count me as one of the fearful. Read on:
A month ago my in-laws, who do not speak English, arrived here for a 3-month visit. They arrived in New York and had to change planes there. The routine is that you get off the airplane, get your baggage, pass through customs, and then load your bags for the remainder of the domestic flight.
Well, after passing through customs, my in-laws must have missed a step, so they ended up bringing all their luggage as carry-on for the flight to Seattle. But first, they had to go through Homeland Security’s checkpoint. There, the security guy took away two out of the three bottles of vodka which they had brought as presents. When my father in-law protested, the guy threatened to arrest him.
Now you may laugh and say, “So what, it’s just taking vodka away from a Russian.” No, it’s not. It’s much more than that! It means that representatives from the Dept. of Homeland Security can pretty much act with impunity and STEAL from people, and there is nothing you can do about it! If this was indeed a security issue, they why was he permitted to bring any vodka at all on the airplane? And if it was a customs thing – remember they had already passed through customs and were cleared with what they had.
But, here is the punch line: The next morning, my father-in-law gave me a parcel wrapped in tissue paper, and told me it was a present from him. So, I opened it up, and do you know what it was? It was a new axe head, made from high quality Russian tool steel.
Now do you see the point I am making here? Homeland Security stole a couple of bottles of vodka from two airline passengers – on the premise of airline security – yet allowed them to carry an AXE head onto a domestic flight!!! Believe me, if razor knives brought down four airplanes, then so could an axe.
The reason why I haven’t complained to Homeland Security? Because I am afraid they would put my name on the “Do Not Fly” list.

Wow... that sure is a story. Thank you for sharing. I can't believe they permitted an ax??? Unfricken believable! Well, thank goodness your in-laws made it to your home safely. The vodka part sounds so much like what the federalie's used to do in Baja Calif., Mexico.
I do understand that the situation is really really bad over here in the good ole USofA. It is sooooo sad we has come to this.
Oops! sorry I forgot to do a quick re-read of my last post: Spelling & grammar correction.
It is soooo sad that we HAVE come to this...
When I watch this Give Peace A Chance video it feels like a mirror image of the events surrounding us today.
1) Back then they wanted to get rid of Nixon. Today, WE ALL want to get rid of Bush.
2) Back then they wanted our troops to pull-out/leave Vietnam. Today, WE ALL want our troops to pull-out/leave Iraq and come back home.
3) etc.
That was a rockin' song and video! All the great one's get assassinated...
Re (1) & (2), PM, all I can say it that THOSE WHO DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE CONDEMMNED TO REPEAT IT!
And on a related note...next bubble, anyone? How about Gold?
Opps, sorry, wrong blog...

What are you guy yappin about??? China will have FLAWLESS victory!
America is toast don't you know.
I was wondering when you TROLLS were going to chime in...
Is this you Andrew Hac from HP hiding behind an ANON name???
Are you that brainwashed by the Chinese government? Don't YOU know that the Chinese government doesn't give two $hits about its people?!?!
The Chinese government is ONLY looking out for its own self-interest. They would annihilate you too if they didn't need you for slave labor!
It would seem that the US government doesn't care about its people either...
Yes Anon, you are absolutely right.
When Mammoth can find the time, he will write a post here about his experiences in China last year.
For the moment, he'll just say that the people there were great.
Wow... that would be great Mammoth! It would be nice to get an insider look from today's perspective.
I too love the chinese culture and the people. I have lot's of Asian friends from all over that region.
It's the gov't I don't like very much.
