Rant of the Week

Tears of Rage in the Machine and American Patriotic Hymns

 

Do I feel guilty?  I think I'm one of the ones who went out to receive all that false instruction that you never could believe. 

But you didn't "point us the way to go".  You gave us weapons and sent us off to get ourselves killed on behalf of your own masters, who deceived you into thinking they had something you should protect, and that they, in turn, would care for your interests.  We lost our legs and arms and souls for you only to find out you didn't even know the words to your patriotic hymns.

And oh you looked so manly with your hand on your brow, so solemn and pious in front of our gravestones.

 I found it hard to forgive the totally unnecessary, contrived, phony crisis that you could see coming a mile away.
