Hillsboro, Ohio..
Mullet City in my opinion, but I took Dennis Hopper's advice and moved to a remote location for some "peace and quiet".
A young man, 21, from right here is being buried today after being killed in Iraq. The entire town is having a large motorcade/ parade on the way to services and to the cemetary. I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but I'll be sure to post it soon. I don't know about his marital status, whether or not he had children, or what type of MOS he had, all I know is he deserves every damned thing possible in this case and so does his family.
I also thought about what the mood of the people watching might be. Will it be curiosity, pity for the boy and his family and showing their respect. Who turns up for these types of events normally when the majority of the people attending don't even know you? I'm too pissed to find out.
It's another young life lost due to Bush's lack of insight and intellegence. He's paid for it, as all the others before him and those after. I think about my brother-in-law who joined 2 years ago and is over there now, as a fuel truck driver somewhere in Baghdad. He really didn't have alot of options to employment. If he did, I will bet my life he wouldn't have signed up. And I told him no combat MOS's, not with his new baby-at least I thought it would keep him in a somewhat safer situation. No point in taking unnecessary risks.
Now I'm thinking about the anti- war protesters and how easy it would be to accuse them of wrecking a funeral, or disrespecting it. I also realize that is when it SHOULD BE DONE, so the world knows we are tired of throwing our most precious resource at a mistake Bush refuses to acknowlege.
Who should be the last man to die for a mistake? He's in the fucking White House. It's sad to see the quietest voices in our "democracy" being abused by the loudest and richest to promote an agenda that will never materialize.
1500 years of in-fighting and animosity among religious sects and he sold the idea to at least the NeoCons that he was brilliant enough to change it in a few years. Arrogant retard.
Time is up.
