Well, that was very insightful... :P (y) __________________ - Practical & Grounded - Based on your associations with the abstract, you are the kind of person who pays attention to very close detail.

And the money game continues - not only destroying American lives by squeezing them for tax money to support defense contractors, but also creating the need to do so and then manipulating the truth so that people have no idea they are funding a war machine that knows how to destroy societies but not how to rebuild them. Doesn't it make you wonder if we can really count on the government to repair the damage they have already done in our own nation? It should make everyone wonder, rather than being blindly patriotic (sheep) and falling right into step with their failing diplomacy. Do you think it is right to call others terrorists when the side you're on is also guilty of terrorism? Does the side of the line you stand on render you guilty or innocent regardless of the fact that the same terrible things are happening on both sides of the line? If you think your side is doing so much more honorable things by their actions - is it your bias or your patriotism that makes you feel that way...or truth? ...or is it time to wake up, stop starting fires, feeding them and then trying to put them out - just so that defense contractors can stay in business killing more people and spending more money that we could use for our families instead of giving a clearly misguided government more war toys to go play terrorist games in the sand? Who do you think is really making the country dangerous? Something to consider...while you watch this video:

Some things just catch you completely by surprise...like this did me. This is Holland's Charly Luske completely nailing James Brown's awesome tune. One of the best covers of a JB tune I've ever heard. Check out how the judges immediately and simultaneously hit their buzzers at the same time and then are in awe through the rest of the performance. Great stuff! ;) (y)

In case you missed it the first time around (or are youngsters unfamiliar with military history), this is called 'The Korean Proxy War 2.0'. Last time, it was China against the US fighting one-another by way of North & South Korea. This time, it's Russia against the US fighting one-another by way of The Assad Regime and US-backed Syrian rebels. Make no mistake about it - there is nothing good about it and nothing good will come of it. In fact, the Korean War never ended. It only ended in a truce...and that is still not good.
