Something written long ago nearly forgotten till now
what has this country turned to? the people that marched with Dr. King are now the most conservitive people in this country. We are fighting another war we cannot win, and no one is standing up against the war. What happened to the sixties? did it mean nothing? We came over to this country for freedom, but instead we are sending off kids to go die for something that people are against. I am not anti government or our troups, just this war. Who will be the next Dr. King? Who will step foward and do something and bring pride back to this country? We are the big bully on the block, and other countries dont like us, even before this war, and now we are losing allies that we have always had. The land of the Free? how can we be free when no one stands up for their own freedom? We need to take a look at what our parents generation did and learn from it cause "If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud." (Arlo Guthrie, Alice's Restruarant). But those are just my thoughts, it seems like no one else is willing to stand up for what they believe in their hearts any more...

It's true. Our government is screwing us over right now. The president apparently has the power to unilaterally declare war and completely get away with it. The media not only is heavily biased but can also censor presidential candidates when the only practical way for citizens to hear about the candidates is through those media companies. Not to mention the gay rights that are being trod upon. It's a hard situation, though... personally, I wouldn't know where to start.
It's true. Things aren't going well. The president apparently has the power to unilaterally declare war. The media controls which candidates we can and cannot see in the primaries. (Look at how Ron Paul got cut out of one of the Fox debates.) And corporations control the government. It's a hard situation... personally, though, I don't know where to start...
