For much of society, technology, advertising and money have become largely a complicated, synthetic replacement to the simpler things in life. In current society, fun is thought of as a commodity labeled with a price tag. This is not how it needs to be. True, raw fulfillment can be drawn from what civilization, as a whole would commonly view as nothing, or a squander of time at most. Humanity has taken a sharp turn away from nature, straight onto the paved path of an artificial lifestyle and pay-as-you-go happiness.
Franklin Roosevelt said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." George Bush says, I have nothing to SELL but fear itself.
And here's one of the toys they're selling: the Virginia-class submarine accessorized with the "Marines in a Tube" option. Stick nine soldiers into its torpedo shaft and you can shoot'm right onto the beach. You can drive one of these underwater Marine injectors out of the showroom, fully loaded, for $2-1/2 billion. Our President's so excited he's ordered a dozen.
And that makes September 11, 2001 Lynn Cheney's lucky day. Lynn was a board member of Marines-in-a-Tube contractor Lockheed-Martin Corporation. And now, she's collecting her slice while hunkered in the bunker with her husband, Vice-President Dick.
Marines-in-a-Tube won't stop Osama, but that's not what Dick wants or George wants. Because they need Osama. All they want from Santa is another attack under the tree. Because once they have the media all jumped up on a new fear high, Bush and Cheney can resume their sales pitch for their two-barrel cure: less liberty, more weaponry.
They're counting on the cowardice at the heart of the heartland. The regime's campaign slogan was, "They are coming to get us." And Americans, scared for their lives, soiled their underpants and waddled to the polls crying, "Georgie, save us!"
Mrs. Cheney's husband, the Dick-in-Chief, has created a government which is little more than a Wal-Mart of Fear: midnight snatchings of citizens for uncharged crimes, wars to hunt for imaginary weapons aimed at Los Angeles , DNA data banks of kids and grandmas, even the Chicken Little sky-is-falling social security spook-show.
Don't kid yourself. Follow the money. For these guys, Ground Zero is a profit center and September 11 was their lucky day.
So listen up.
