About This is the new, improved version of one I posted on UF so long ago I thought it was time to dust it off and jazz it up a bit with some PS. As I sit here getting ready to pay taxes on April 15th I was just wondering were all my money is going. I know it's going to a never ending war in a country that we invaded under false pretenses that never attacked us. The guy that did attack us has kind of been forgotten about because it's more important to have permenant bases and the largest US embassy in the world (3000 + employees) in a country that just happens to have the second largest oil reserves in the world (but please don't misunderstand. I know that has nothing to do with anything and that the US government just has a super strong love for the Iraqi people - I believe them when they tell me it's all for them - my Government wouldn't lie). We're a pretty violent country and my money has to pay for all those shooting victims here who end up in the Hospital Emergency room with bullet wounds. We just had another school shooting last week but I'm smart enough to know guns don't kill people - people kill people (or maybe the bullets do...what's the NRA's official line on that one? Don't want to say the wrong thing) I know my money isn't going to educate our children because by all indications our public schools are falling apart. Well, you know we all need a strong work ethic so these youngsters can stand on a street corner and beg for some money for their schools - why not. No one gets a free ride (except the 66% of Multi - National Corperations that pay Zero in federal taxes but again I'm sure there's a good reason for that. Our trusted, sincere politicians would NEVER sell out the country. Come on, I know that). The thing I like about the US the most is you can be a talentless, low I.Q. dimwit and still make millions (Paris Hilton comes to mind) as long as you look damn good. I like that - talent's highly over rated anyway. Now that I think about it paying taxes for all this important stuff ain't so bad. In fact, I might even go downtown and sign up for the National Guard (I hear recruitments are WAY down - don't understand why) cause I know blowing up Iraq for years is protecting us - makes total sense. That's what our leaders say and I believe them. God bless President George W. Bush (any more room on Mt. Rushmore for a 5th great President - hint, hint) The Fantasy continues.........

Brilliant idea, but do some one listen to the public opinion,, I?ve heard that in the corruption third world country ,a few people gone in the road on a strike against the government and after 2 days the government collapsed and the president quitted. In USA and G. Britain a more than MILION been, for days in the streets protesting against the war in Iraq and still both government existed is n`t it strange! Excellent work and about. Take care.

Yeah, that's good - throw that in there. I never thought of that cause the American Dream stopped being a dream IMO a long time ago. The giant chains rule - the very small independant business guy gets screwed. How does one compete with Walmart? (it's the same old story - happening in Europe too but MUCH slower - still some tradition left there)

Oh, we also thought the money/flag on the ground represented the American dream.

Yeah, I'm sure you got it - it covers 3 area's of American "ways". Violence (here and there - that's blood mixed with oil), What the Gov does for it's own - especially children, and Beauty (superficiality) is all that matters these days. The part I love is it's ALL being exported to the rest of the world at supersonic speed. There's a Mcdonalds at Singapore's airport, a Jack in the Box at Hong Kongs new -ish airport , Starbucks in Paris - what next?. (travel before it's too late - there'll soon be a Mcdonalds at the top of Mt. Everest)

My friend Max and I had a long talk about the meaning of this picture. It's pretty deep, no? I think I mostly understand what your oppinions are in this pic. I might be a bit off in places...but I think I've got the idea.

I knew I'd seen this one before...

It will be interesting to read further comments! LOL

Yep...your 'about' is well stated! And the 'soapbox' lives on!!

The only way 'our fearless leader' would consent to be on Rushmore would be if he was taller than the others.......

Hang in there friend, gotta keep the BP down somewhat.

Oh...good image BTW!
Lori :)

Hey folks, sorry it's not T and A or a Celebrity you can drean about but maybe one or two of you can leave a comment. Oh, maybe the "about " is too long. Takes about as much time to read as a drive through McDonalds so it's not IMPOSSIBLE....but a bit of work. Long live PARIS HILTON !!!!!
