By James Salazar (10 Years Old, New York City)
Whats up with this war?
Hasn’t there been enough?
And why God Bless America?
Shouldn’t it be God Bless the World?
WHY WAR?
Why do bombs drop on babies?
Why do teenage soldiers have to die?
When can we all have peace?
In the White House the lights are on
But no one’s there.
Or is it that no one cares
Enough to see and hear all the people
Holding signs
Yelling
What do we want? Peace. When do we want it? NOW!
Hoping that this will all be over soon.

Bush Machine More Powerful Than We Thought
People have underestimated the Bush Machine all along. While I think Bush is an idiot himself, he has some brilliant master manipulators behind him. He basically serves as their stooge because of his last name and the fact that most Americans are resentful of anyone with an I.Q. higher than theirs. The real brains behind the Junta are experts at spinning situations, creating crises, and propaganda. These people had this whole thing planned out years ago and every major event that has happened since the late Clinton years has been either orchestrated or exploited by this gang of thugs. Yes, it is depressing, but those who aren't sold out or hypnotized by them need to be smarter. Their goal is to wear down and divide any group that challenges their authority both at home and abroad, so they can create a one-world dictatorship with themselves at the top. The good thing is that they have brought many people together across the country and the world. All actions have reactions, and the arrogance and hypocrisy of this administration might just lead to a worldwide revolution.

And Look to a Higher Reality
“As far as the Laws of Mathematics refer to Reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to Reality”
– Albert Einstein
It Is Always With You
When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always.
– Mahatma Gandhi
