No matter how obvious, simple or logical it sounds, you should never completely believe the official version. And given our federal government's sorry track record on truth-telling, that's the only rational thing a good citizen should do. (text/plain + 1 comment)

resistance to military recuritment
mena
2005-08-30 11:57 AM![]()
Resistance to the war in Iraq is growing nationally. Polls indicate that 63% of Americans are opposed to the war. The “noble sacrifice" that GWB glorifies is none other than a primitive blood sacrifice of a nation's youth. The Pentagon uses unethical strategies, such as designing video games to lure teenagers into the military. It is the duty of citizens to resist this form of government deception. And we will.
