Freedom on the March

[shamatha1]

"Ah the freedom. Look, we have the gas-line freedom, the looting freedom, the killing freedom, the rape freedom, the hash-smoking freedom. I don't know what to do with all this freedom." -Akeel, a 26 year old Baghdad resident on life in the new Iraq.

Freedom is not free. winston tastes good like a cigarette should, when the marketing department is finaly made a cabinet level post then we wont have to worry about giving up our freedom to be free, a small price to pay for feeling good about ourselves.
Dear Akeel a26
All we ask is that you accept our values, I am afraid we must insist on that or else we will destroy your country to save it. I may have a sick sense of humor.

found a book about Rumi tday fifty cents at the thrift store, it has made my day.

peace, I dream of a fertile crescent
