Civil War (What's so civil about war anyway?)

No despite what you may have thought I'm not about to start Bush bashing or kicking the US for their strong arm tactics and ruthless self interest. I'm sure as heck not going to start bashing what our armed forces do. No those of you that no my own connection with the military know that I have nothing but the greatest respect for the peacekeeping missions our soldiers are involved in. I am well aware of what a measured military response can do to prevent greater harm. Of course the response has to be intelligent, informed and above all appropriate. But I'm not even interested in talking about that. No what's getting to me is the sociological civil war that is raging between economic classes and moral view points. It has come to the point where lives are tools to be used to further our causes not guarded and nurtured for the good of all. The Muslim Fanatics do it with their suicide bombers. The Moromons do it in their marriage practices. Corporations do it with their "incentive programs". Governments do it with the "funding conditions", "youth programs" and a hundred other thinly veiled moral mind crushers. How does that line go "they step on our hearts while they rip out our minds". That's about right don't allow room in your heart for anything but self interest (or 'god') but whatever you do just don't think for yourself. Well this is a call to arms then, I'm declaring an Uncivil War on all the small minded prats who want to keep others from thinking. I'll fight for the right to teach kids to think for themselves, to question what they are taught in school, to be able to speak up with questions and not be told to sit down and shut up. I will fight for the right to ask Why? And I'll take on anyone who says that just the way it is. It may be the way it is but that is not the way it has to be and I refuse to accept it. Dust of your brains and put them to work. Act like you care about what happens in your community, country, world and you may find out that there is something worth caring about. We are a bunch of lethargic, apathetic, self-centered prigs to stupid and foolish to do something about the pile of crap our world is becoming in an age where we have more power to change things then ever before. So come join up and be a part of my Uncivil War it'll be a mess but it'll be worth it.
