A quick thought
America will not be free until the Pentagon is an indoor shopping mall and Goldman's CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, is sporting an orange jumpsuit.

The pentagon could open a memorabilia shop to, selling such items as depleted uranium ammo. War hawks could buy them as keepsakes and use as paper weights for their corporate desks. Ah! the stuff that dreams are made of.
The Pentagon would serve a much better purpose as a giant shelter for the homeless, right there in the shadow of the Capitol. It could mimmick the dwellings of the poor, who were housed just outside the palace/castle gates of the royal edifice, like the one Obama is maikng of the WH, with foliage, plummage and elegant trappings...which he leaves only to fly in Air Force One or play golf. Both the goings-on in the House of War and the WH are increasingly irrelevant.
"America" is only a figment of collective fevered captive imaginations. Freedom doesn't apply to such common CONceits. Captive peoples' can get theirs back, though, by breaking-out of their smothering "individual" cocoons, with their fatal reliance on the toxic industrial waste-products of the killing CONtraption called "civilization," and reFORMing into actual Living Organic Human Communities.
Case Wagenvoord's articles have been posted at "The Smirking Chimp", "Countercurrents" and "Dissident Voice". When he's not writing or brooding, he is carving hardwood bowls that have been displayed in galleries and shows across the country. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and two cats.
His book, "Open Letters to George W. Bush" is available at Amazon.com.

I guess radiation poisoning works just as well as an orange jumpsuit.

I like it--the new Hooverville.

Time to "....put-away the things of a child."
HokaHey!
Some are suggesting that our industrial era is slowly drawing to a close, so perhaps we will see the emeergence of much smaller, organic communities.
