'OUR ADOPTED CHINESE BABY HAS A JOB AT NIKE'

THE USES OF TYRANNY WE IGNORE

We ignore the human rights abuses we support abroad because we get cheap auto parts or a DVD player for 29.99 plus 37.50 for 24 months parts and labor.

We let our country embarrass us with assassinations and violent mass larceny and insane personal atrocities that we never see on the news because the sponsor of the news is selling the arms and pumping the well.

Guantanamo torturees finally succeed in suicide after four years of hopeless hell, then our overpaid administration spin artists and generals call it a Public Relations Stunt.

The drive time crowd listens to pardoned felons and fat pill snorters to get the latest stock market and bigot report, while the Marine with one lung is billed for his damaged body armor.

A Quarter of a Million iraQis have perished defending their country from poor dropout Guardsmen under orders from Viet Nam deferment-wonder boys who spent the last decade berating Bill Clinton.

We all should fly our flags at half-staff or inverted for distress.

We are spoiled infantile citizens who don't even vote at a third rate rate. And we don't care, cause we got gas.

War has only one enemy: people. One enemy and one victim.
