Change

We need to change our ways. We are involved in IRAQ because of weapons of mass destruction...there are none. Are we stupid? We are still in IRAQ after four years. Young men and women come home missing limbs, some will never come home; still others have not come home outside of a coffin or body bag. The IRAQI people will never appreciate our personal sacrifice, afterall, they have been at war for a thousand years and their war will continue for a thousand more.

Do we just follow like lemmings to the cliff and jump off? Do we allow people like Dick Cheney and Dubbayah to have the final word? Or do we just say NO!

We need to say enough and we need to say enough loudly so that the stupid people can hear us. Do you really want to go on each day with a headline about bodies being blown to bits in the name of Allah? Insanity. We keep doing the same thing but expect different results. Insanity.

We are a country where MONEY trumps everything.

We are a country that is fascinated by American Idol, LOST and Dancing with the Stars...hello?! How stupid is that?

We are a country fascinated with Twitter...our life is sooo boring that we need to know what the other person is doing right this second...hello?! I don't want to know that you just popped a zit.

We are a country that pays money to watch Borat on the BIG Screen.

We are a country that gathers in large coliseums to watch organized violence. Sound familiar?

We are a country that is hypicritical...we have hypocrisy down to a fine science when it involves racism, class society, politics, religion, education, money and power.

We are a country of losers because there is only ONE winner and if there is only one winner, then logic dictates that everyone else lost or DID NOT WIN! How does it feel to be a loser?

We are a country where it's o.k. to tell a lie.

If the world ended today, there will be many in our country who don't make the cut. Think about that for a moment.

Change is our only alternative.

Change is our only choice.

Change will allow us to survive, adapt and move on.

Are you willing to change?
