the way our government conducts
itself?. Not really. They can spend
billions of dollars fighting and re-
building a country halfvay around
the world, but yet in our own land
we have starvation, hatred and
just plain ignorance.
Are they fighting for our free-
doms in these foreign wars? No,
we're fighting for them every day
here in our own country and los-
ing. Have we learned nothing from
past? Are we moving tbrwards or
backwards? Is history going to re-
peat itselt? How long before they
bring the white sheets back?
As our great Chief Seattle once
said, "The whites too shall pass,
perhaps sooner than other tribes.
Continue to contaminate your bed
and you will one night suffocate in
your own waste." Greed, hatred
and ignorance will one day be the
downfall to this great country. It's
time to change. We need to change
for our future.
