Hello to whoever you are reading this. I'm going to skip all the usual blah blah blah, and go straight to the point. I figured I would run a sort of, social experiment of my own, just to see how stuff gets around in this sad reality we call society. I asked15-20 people, between the ages of 12-16, some simple questions, just to find out interesting things. (Nothing Personal and nothing relating to any sexual topics; if that's what you're looking for, you're reading the wrong bulletin) Amongst others, this was one of the main ones I really loved, and felt like I needed to ask: "Do you like President George W. Bush?"100% of everyone I asked said No. I then proceeded to ask why...The most popular answers where: "Because he's a dumb ass" "Because he's a fucking queer" or "'Cuz he's fucking retarded". Most of you reading this will probably agree with all this. You probably don't like Bush, but if I asked you why, you'd probably give me some ill-thought up, bullshit excuse of an answer because you don't really know why you don't like him. In fact, very few of you reading this could give me an answer like: "Because Bush and his oligarchic companions sabotaged American democracy so they could pillage taxpayer resources. "Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying if you couldn’t give me a well rounded answer like that one, that you are stupid, unintelligent, or a "dumb ass". In fact, on the contrary, I'm simply trying to look at how we see things through others eyes, without even noticing. Just because some kid's parents might have been in the living room, talking politics, or saying how much they hate bush, the kid might have over heard this, told his friends how much he hates bush, and that's how it started. I ask you now: If you hear gossip about some girl, or some guy, do you instantly believe it to be true and freak out in disbelief and tell all your friends?? If so, maybe you should re-evaluate your level of gullibility, and your level of shit-disturbance? Furthermore, on this beautiful instant messenger service, known today as : Windows Live: I typed and sent this same message out to 10 girls and 10 guys..."Are the rumors that I've heard about you true? "Preceded by nothing else in the conversation. No hello, no how are you, simply:"are the rumors that I've heard about you true?" I had a good laugh, when 5 of the girls freaked right out on me, said no, no, no! Without even asking what it was that I’ve heard. 3 of them said something along the lines of: " omg, wtf did you hear?!?!" and 2 of them didn't answer. As for the guys, 7 of them said: "What rumors" and 3 of them said: "fuck no!” So, to end this post, I leave you with some last thoughts: Next time you say you hate bush, why not give a nice, logical reason...Here are a few of them: Bush and his cabal of henchmen lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and they continue to obfuscate the truth while their companies cash in, Iraqis suffer and American soldiers die. Bush is bad for business and the economy. He is only interested in enriching himself and his friends. Bush is bad for the future. He is compromising the prosperity of tomorrow's America by shortchanging today's children. Bush is bad for the environment. The Bush Administration has manipulated the media to the point of undermining the Constitutional guarantees of a Free Press. Bush has tried to undermine the United Nations, a democratic institution created in large measure by Presidents Eisenhower and Truman. Without even understanding what the UN does, Bush has called it “irrelevant" when it fails to fall in line with his dictates. Bush is inarticulate and projects a stereotype abroad of Americans being ignorant and myopic. Bush torpedoes global agreements on everything from racism and global warming to biological weapons and land mines, and then expects the world to line up behind him. Bush took positive patriotism and global support in the wake of 9/11 and forced it behind his own narrow self-interest in Iraq. He hijacked 9/11 for his own benefit. And please, I am not pro-bush, if that's the impression you got. A lot of the things I may have said might have sounded like defense to bush, and please know that they where not meant to be. This was simply an example to get the bigger message across. This message was simply the understanding of how things we hear, from peers, parent, or teachers: Gravely influence our thoughts, and words. So fuck bush, and fuck the whole Bush administration...But often times we blame the states for going to war, and bombing Iraq. But do we even understand why we do, isn't it just because we've heard that war is bad, and bush is a dumb ass? Once again, I’m not saying war is good, but re-evaluate why the fuck you don't like the whole idea of the war on Iraq? How about the war against terrorism? Let me know what your thoughts are, comment this bulletin... comment my profile...or don't but it is time that as youth we began to speak up and start saying something to go against the stereotypical: "Kids these days..."I shall be putting up weekly posts on several hot topics, because I've had many recommendations to start witting out what I have say... So here it is. If you like it: Thanks, and if not, well thanks, because now at least you probably have a good reason for not liking it, right?
