wizarddrew77, you make me angry. I at one time had the largest gallery, but then I stopped posting all my artwork. You're now the king of all that is holy.
No cmon Bro your stuff Rocks! Get Skip to give you extra space-My stuff is a lot of pics I grabbed and then some of my photos. But most of your stuff is your Art Bro! That's very special-YOU ROCK!
Haha. Thanks man. I have donated money to Skip so, I did the initial extra space, but I don't think I got the extra space that the new donators are getting... Beats me. A LOT of my art work though is over the limit size per picture. Oops. But hey, what CAN you do? Oh, and Drew (I guess that's your name) YOU ROCK!
Theres not going to be a war with North Korea, they are a nuclear nation and we don't want to see South Korea get nuked. Obviously deterence will work on the Korean peninsula as it has for the past 60 years. Theres no logical reason to invade Korea. The Ayatollahs days are numbered, and if we were to go to war with Iran, we would have done it in the 80's. Urban combat in Iran would be far too costly, so the only thing that would happen are acts of subversion. We can sustain the nubers in Iraq easily, with our 1.3 million man military. Iraws guard is becoming more suitable, and now that the US army is pushing toward the Syrian border, and with Iraq's growing police force, a pullout of several thousand American troops is possible in 2006. I'll be twenty in a week, and its because I'm much smarter then you. Because its nothing new, and its less probable now then it was two years ago when it was first brought up. It would be a stunningly unpopular move, and theres no need more infantry in Iraq. We could go through another war without a draft if we just moved troops out of Europe. Unless we go to war with China over Taiwan, there will be no draft in the next decade. Even if we do go to war with China, a draft wouldn't likely be nessecary. Who said I'm down on hippies? You're just speaking alarmist nonsense about a hypothetical new war that would require massive amounts of new troops. I have no strong feelings about hippies one way or the other, because they don't exist. It's a dead fad. It's ironic when people misuse the word hypothetical.
The War Machine Wants you! Two years ago we gathered all across America to say no to war. We were joined by people all over the planet who know that there is an alternative to war. But war is about the only option available when the real motive is to steal natural resources that belong to someone else. Or to restack the deck in the Middle East with today's generation of coups and assassinations, following the likes of the US 1949 ouster of Syria's elected government, the US 1953 ouster of Iran's elected government; US 1958 landing of Marines in Lebanon; and its 1963 support for a coup in Iraq after an assassination attempt against its leader failed. The militarism we see today is nothing new. Even though some 14 countries have withdrawn their troops since March 2003, Bush tells the American people that he has no idea when US troops can expect to come home. Sadly, many of them are being forced to take matters into their own hands. With filings for conscientious objector status, forced pregnancies, disappearances, seeking asylum in Canada, and leading rallies like this today all over America. The American people, and our children over there fighting, still haven't been told the real reason the US is at war with the Iraqi people. And against the people the US war machine has turned. Thousands of Iraqis, especially children, have been killed by our sanctions and our bombs. This is an immoral and illegal war and we need to bring our troops home now. Instead, they lay the groundwork to expand the war and destabilize Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. Destroying Iraq isn't enough for them. Nor are the million men and women in our Armed Services enough for them. The George Bush war machine wants you, too. And your children. Everywhere you turn the Pentagon is denying it wants a draft while at the same time lamenting that recruitment is way down. Mercenaries will increasingly be used to fight their wars with your tax dollars. While reinstating the draft only feeds the war machine. In fact, we need to get the military recruiters out of our high schools; they need to stop harassing our children, and the 1 billion dollars they spend on slick radio and tv spots and friendly neighborhood offices, ought to be put in the education budget so our kids can go to college without having to go to war first. They tell us we're at war for democracy. But that's a joke; George Bush came to power by stopping democracy at home--denying the opportunity to vote to blacks and Latinos in Florida. They built on that fine record last year with hackable voting machines that don't accurately tally our votes. And in countries like Haiti where democracy was thriving, they arrested President Aristide at gunpoint and forced him out of his own country. While they purport to cherish democracy, they really have a disdain for it. Democracy in Venezuela, India, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay has produced proud people willing to stand up to US imperialism, coup attempts, and destabilization of their countries. And the good news is that this resistance will spread. The worse they are, the stronger we become. And worse they will become because they've aimed their sights on Russia and China after they've balkanized the Middle East. But one thing I guarantee to you and to them: we won't be fooled! We know the truth. And we won't stop. Stay strong, my brothers and sisters, we have a lot of work to do.
Thanks for your views Loudi-Hippies gone? Humm Last I looked we are over 20,000 strong on this site alone. If The Draft does come back-There are Hippies already who are setting up a network to help ANYONE who needs to avoid The Draft. We did it years ago and we will do it again. I don't consider my life a fad and it's what I believe in and my lifestyle for many years. I am 54 today not because I am smarter then anyone-LOL enjoy your Birthday as a free Man who is not in The Death Troops of The Bush Parade that loves your views! Peace
That Hippy Fad-started some great things-now it's YOUR TURN to make a difference-what are you doing? "We are here to make a better world. No amount of rationalization or blaming can preempt the moment of choice each of us brings to our situation here on this planet. The lesson of the '60s is that people who cared enough to do right could change history. We didn't end racism but we ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you could send half-a-million soldiers around the world to fight a war that people do not support. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. We made the environment an issue that couldn't be avoided. The big battles that we won cannot be reversed. We were young, self-righteous, reckless, hypocritical, brave, silly, headstrong and scared half to death. And we were right." Abbie Hoffman
