This one went around the world and back in September, 2005.
Damn but I really did do a lot of writing that first year.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink? *
* (I will rarely do a modification to an existing post, but this seemed too sadly appropriate not to add.)
This is a graphic-intensive post, and be advised the last few images are rather strong.
They are tragically nothing you won't see on your local news, but some people may find them disturbing, and my intention is not to be gratuitous.
I'm simply furious.
("Us and Them", from "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, 1973)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Us
and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me,
and you
God only knows
it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black
and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up
and Down
And in the end
it's only round and round
and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down
and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With,
without,
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
And for want of the price...
of tea and a slice
The old man died
Fuck these men, and God damn you if you voted for them.
I don't believe for one minute in a petulant and vengeful Deity that murders people to score debating points. However, if I did actually put my faith in such childish superstitions, I think I would be be much less inclined to blame gays for every single bad thing that happens and pay very close attention to the fact that God is at His most wrathful when foolish men in great nations make monsters into kings.
May God forgive us for letting criminals and madmen run our country.

Yea, verily. The fact that people such as these achieve dominance shows the system, as it exists in America, is completely broken.
It's a sad fact that there is no money for Healthcare, food, decent shelter or any of those things that make life bearable. Plenty for killing.
Thank You. That takes a little of my hostility for today away.
The more I read the more angry I got till here.
At least I know I'm not the only one to feel this way.
