Please God, Help Me To Never Be Moral
Cuz moral looks pretty immoral to me...
Before the main thrust of the latest Fallujah invasion began, after the election of the war president, we bombed their hospital and destroyed the medical supplies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3988433.stm
Those who can, are fleeing the city where electricity and water have been turned off. Military age males, from 15 to 60 however, are not permitted to leave, even though they are non-combatants. Bodies of women and children are lying in the streets. There are already more than 100,000 people killed in Iraq, a country that posed no threat, had no WMD, and no connection to 9-11, al Qaida or Osama binLaden. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4004873.stm
We are now using white phosphorous rounds. These munitions put up a wall of fire that cannot be extinguished with water. It literally melts the skin. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/11/12/1533/3578
Here in our great nation, police in Miami-Dade used a 50,000 volt Taser on a six year old boy, to prevent him from hurting himself with a shard of glass he was holding. If the police can’t subdue a 55 pound first grader without using a Taser, how will they protect us from terrorists?
In another incident, a Taser was used on a 12 year old girl apprehended for playing hookey when she attempted to run. The 15 year veteran policeman claimed he fired his Taser at her “for my safety along with the girl’s safety”. No one asked how his safety was threatened by the dangerous hookey player when she was running away from him. http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20041113113209990001
What's even more disturbing is the result of an AOL poll that showed 48% of 263,292 people don't think the use of Tasers on children should be banned.
In January of 2005, the EPA, is going to begin a study of the effects of toxic pesticides on chldren, babies to 3 years old, from low income families. The study is being funded to the tune of $2 million from the American Chemical Council, whose members include Dow, Exxon and Monsanto. The name of the study is inappropriately called CHEERS, Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study. As a reward for sacrificing their children, these families will be given $970, a video camera, T-shirt and a framed certificate of appreciation. http://www.organicconsumers.org/epa-alert.htm
What would the EPA put on the T-shirt, "My child was exposed to harmful chemicals and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"? Or how about, “Children: They’re cheaper than lab rats”?
This election was supposedly won on the issue of "moral values". Apparently, being saved from the spectre of gay marriage is the only moral issue that our government and half the people in America are concerned with. Genocide and child abuse get a green light and thumbs up.
I pray I never become that moral.
