We live in an area where elected politicians ignore the needs of their constituents, where the judiciary and police institutions will not uphold the rights of citizens, where the media is afraid to report the truth, where lawlessness abounds and ordinary people are left unprotected and defenseless against the rapacity of a few. The answer to our dilemma is for people of courage to actively help each other. Only if we unite can we succeed. That is the only way. There is no other way.
WOw, that was fucked up. Viewed it first thing this morning. Makes me sad. There's another song....Teach your children well...and give them plenty of love.
Paradox, by the time we UNLEARN our pledging, allefgiancing and indoctrinating, it is to late to save our own children fropm the same fate that destroyed our lives.
When I look at my 6 year old son it really makes me wonder exactly what influences and ideas he is picking up. I know every bit of history I ever learned in School was half truth and slanted at best. Now after 9-11 I would say the fear mongering starts in preschool.
Geat song and great video. Thank you.

That would be a good start. I do wonder though is there such a thing as education without indoctrination?

How to restore my faith in humanity. How to inspire courage to protect my fellows and myself from tyranny. That is what I learned here.
