Truth in rambling

"Pull out of Iraq" is the talk right now of the press. Bush says if they do give us a timeline on when to pull out, the terrorists will just wait until then and then re-claim everything like in Vietnam. I know there are a few terrorists in this world, but after doing my own research it's made that number so much smaller. The event known as the 'airlift of evil'(you can Google it) is simple. 'The United States took the unprecedented step this week of demanding that foreign airlines provide information on passengers boarding planes for America. Yet in the past week, a half dozen or more Pakistani air force cargo planes landed in the Taliban-held city of Kunduz and evacuated to Pakistan hundreds of non-Afghan soldiers who fought alongside the Taliban and even al-Qaida against the United States.' What am I trying to say? Most of the people you hate are paid by the money you send to the IRS. So when people say drug dealing supports terrorism, I say "so does paying taxes."
Oh, and another note about drugs. After we took over Afghanistan isn't it interesting that Opium growing has skyrocketed? What's also funny is how Afghanistan manages to grow more than 80 percent of the worlds supply. If drug dealers only sell drugs and get caught, why aren't the guys making the most money growing them caught? Or why isn't there a sort-of War on Drugs over there? Oh that's right, I'm sure the government regulates it in one way or another. Check out the lyrics from the song Peruvian Cocaine
I talk about this stuff so often now it's unbelievable; and to think this is "America: Land of the Free." Well, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." I feel so obligated to do something about this all, but it sucks feeling like I have no power even though in a real America I should. Wherever there's "sovereign individuals" there's peace, that's the truth.
Now there's the London bombings, and as usual with terrorist events, you'll see many contradictions. Why? Sadly enough it had to be set-up too. Enough with the truth, the public hates it and I hate the public for that. They're too busy drinking and smoking their minds to a pulp, let them have it. Besides the public when people say this quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." and think they're special because they read books, that's not much more different. Unless you really know what's happening in the world, you're not part of that small group of thoughtful citizens. If that's too harsh, it has to be because everything you know and all the work you've done could be in vain. Why does it seem that where Truth should be, propaganda and lies are filled to the brim? It's like Truth is in the muddy waters on roadsides that cars run over and spray pedestrians. What's the reaction when the average joe/sally is on the recieving end? "Get it off of me!" I think truth isn't something that's exactly hated though like that quote may seem. People sometimes "just don't know" like me. If you're born tabula rasa it's probably going to be hard for everyone to find what I have Our lifestyles are different, and that has to be the main contribution to ignorance: Some people just don't care. In the end as I read over this rambling on, I might as well stay informed but stay to myself. I've been thinking about writing my own poems and songs of sorts because it would be a nice change, trying to be creative is something people have been doing since the beginning. The problem I have is with my vocabulary, I hate being able to understand a lot of words but not being able to converse with them. The solution is: Learning through synonyms. That's the easiest way, so I should start sometime soon.
