[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Ive been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you’ve seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to warAnd there’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runsOn the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends–
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can’t take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wireThere’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can’t even say the namesThey sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they’re never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wireJackson Browne, “Lives in the Balance”.
I first heard this song back in the 1980s, when I was in the Army and with a military advisory unit in El Salvador. This song really hit me and the lyrics are even more compelling today.[/quote]
Sadly, I’m pretty sure Jackson voted for Obama…So much for living life by your lyrics π

The Obama support on this site has already shown a significant reversal, excluding breeze of course.

January 23, 2009 at 3:14 PM #334246crParticipant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Coop: The translation from Breezie’s somewhat hackneyed German is: “Now is not the time to question our Great Leader” (interesting use of the word Fuhrer, which gives most modern Germans the chills).
I’m starting to realize his choice of handles (TheBreeze) is quite apt, as most of his arguments have the substance of wind.
I think partypup and arraya are calling this quite well: Obama is nothing more than a carefully selected, well financed mouthpiece for those interests really running the country.[/quote]
I’m actually lol at this stuff now, this is good.
Keep posting breeze!
Next we’ll find out Obama’s appointee for Secretary of Commerce will have corruption charges regarding public contracts given to campaign donors…oh wait.
