Was the ENTIRE cold war not democracy versus communism? FREEDOM of the people? Isn't it ironic? What the government is now doing, is exactly what 1000's of soldiers died fighting against decades ago? Yet, we do not see it like this..my uncle, who is now a successful lawyer and a true patriot. He is haunted every single day; He sleeps with a gun under his pillow and has general paranoia all derived from Vietnam war...he fought for what? Nothing?
We are but a commodity, we must be numbered, labeled and counted - our worth is not measured by that of a human life, but by an aggregate value instead. When will we be poked and prodded like mere cattle in a slaughter house, furthermore..are we already those cows being prodded, yet we do not see is as such?

When you want more than you have, you think you need...
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place...
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.
