17. Based on a real event - for me it shows the pain effects of a war mongering country.
Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 10:12 AM by higher class
The confliction of soldiers, the denial of a more normal life under peace seeking people, the fall back to invasion, pillaging, and plundering of ancient history - ignoring the gift of communication and contact to improve, not destroy. Reversal of man's evolution to improve.

Mostly, I wrote to protest the power of corporations who have manipulated government which manipulates the military, intelligence, and media to make it all come together - a blood flowing mess and new hate to contend with for decades to come.

I always keep this in mind - the number one industry in the world for many years was tourism.
Tourism with all it implicates - the safety of air and ship transportation, the welcome of the nation, the ability to learn about other people. The ability of the lowliest person to make money from the industry of tourism under the profits that spread out to all during peace.

Now, in this country, we have a Homeland Security wall with some ridicuolously absurd rules and a databse that is filling up with your life in it.

And some of our own citizens cannot board an aircraft to fly witing their own country because of a secret list.

A few caused all of this - the same ones that profit from it while the masses of people are affected by it.

I blame it all on the few who profit and manipulate the war for profit.

Fictionalized based on true times how many similar true deaths.

The big picture sucks.

Our kids did not call the profiteering shots. But they are there because of it.
