i'm a southwestern soul.
born in los angeles, lived most of my life in phoenix, az.
i tried moving around, but the desert always sucked me back in.
i know allot of other desert dwellers, but many folks come
out here and don't have a taste for it. i suppose the heat
has something to do with that. to be honest, i don't even
notice it anymore. i've lived out here most of my life.
that's some really cool history there. i especially liked
the part about coca-cola. thanks for sharing. i'm definitely
going to make it out there at some point. thanks for offering
to give a tour and jam out. that sounds cool.
that part of the country, world is steeped in history. i know
southerners really enjoy history. they have allot to be proud of.
although, some people like to paint the War as only civil, others
make the case the it was between states. i like to think of it
as one of the most painful and extreme moments in our countries
history. it defines us as a nation. and anyone who denies that
fact is oblivious to the reality of the situation. no amount
of economic misery or 911 attacks will EVER compare to the misery
felt during those times. while it may be an embarrassing
moment in our history, it also set the precedent of what kind
of nation we were going to become.
we are, whether we like it or not, a nation that "frees" other
nations. anyone think it's a joke? think a little harder.
the problem is that usually when we try to "free" them, we
simultaneously oppress them. the logic is that one nation cannot
set another nation free. it can only show it the road. the
oppressed nation must fight there own "revolutionary war" to
get there. that's when we step in like france did for us and
"save the day."
free iraq;
free Afghanistan;
free Kuwait;
free the slaves;
free the colonists;
free german people;
free japan;
free Somalia;
free the south Vietnamese;
and yet, can we really free anything if we're trapped
in the bondage of greed and money in exchange for happiness?
can we call ourselves free when we're ruled by commercial
television which orders us to go out and buy until we
go into bankruptcy? what kind of "freedom" did we end up
with?
free the u.s.a.
"free your mind and your ass will follow."
