Carless and broke on my day off, I did nothing but read a lot of articles today... and started up this blog. I had another blog that did on my site Stallengrad.com... but I had to manage and create it through this limiting little app called "iWeb"... that had this obnoxious tendency to fuck up all the neat text things it claimed to do upon publishing. Besides... I don't have to pay for this domain.
Back on subject... This
article I read today in particular PISSED me off. It was about Israel and their desire to mount a military strike on Iran before January 20th (inauguration day), and Bush's support of the action.
Great. Fucking Great.
True Iran is no ideal free state or anything... and I STRONGLY disagree with any political system that is non-secular... this includes Israel. Why would "secular" nation such as the United States of America support any nation that advocates tyranny through religion? Maybe because we have a similar system. I don't care if that 70% of a religious group was rounded up on cattle cars, gassed, and burned in ovens 65 years ago... that doesn't make every decision they make "democratic" or justified... that doesn't mean they get to treat other humans the same way they were treated. I could care less if Israel nukes Iran... or visa versa... they both deserve being destroyed by each other. But WHY must we get involved?
We will get involved, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Let's say Israel invades Iran... unlike our Fueher Bush... will Obama, Lynden Biden Johnson or Secretary of State Billary Clinton just sit back and not get involved? NO! They pledged otherwise. And the last two times a draft was put into action, it was done by FDR and LBJ... Democrats. What just because our president is black, not from Texas, and isn't the village idiot means he won't do what's necessary to facilitate a war of this scale?
The planet is ripe and overdue for World War 3. The economy is in the crapper, we're overpopulated, and some there's far too many Super Powers competing with each other. To the bankers, democrats, and republicans, any excuse for a draft would be music to their ears.
THIS is why I have an overwhelming desire to leave everything and join the successful and daring Somolian pirates.
Above you see a picture of one of his countless groups, this one being "Billy Childish and the Musicians of the British Empire." This artistic dynamo has actually recorded over 100 full length LP's, written 40 collections of poetry, and somewhere around 2,500 paintings. His music ranges from punk rock, comedy, to rockabilly, and Medway Delta Blues. He is in my opinion the embodiment of punk rock, in it's rawest form. Have a look and listen!...
