I have enjoyed Europe lately so it is now time to go back to America the beautiful. There would be about one or two people who oppose the American foreign policy but one thing has to be said about their national anthem. It is beautiful. It is one of a few that sound absolutely splendid, especially when sung by someone who knows how to sing. I like it anyways. It also has to be said because it isn't said enough, in my opinion, that America is a beautiful country with a wonderful people. They also know how to hold an election.
Have you noticed the latest spin? Well like the fiat, you never are conscious they exist until you own one. Then every time you see one, it jumps out at ya. Well, who are the Democrats going to put in the ring against Condi Rice in the next election? I personally would like to see Kerry have another try. But the Democrats don't seem to give second chances. You will see little snippets about Condoleezza and it will get steadier until the election. What do you know about her now? Let's see. She has a Ph.D in political science. She has sat on the boards of many large corporations, and also to Boys and Girls clubs, supporting education, author of novels, has achieved one of teachings highest awards etc. etc....and is now the Secretary of State. Impressive. She is a strong advocate of the right to bear arms, and especially since she has been exposed to the KKK night riders, and racism as a daily part of her life it seems she is justified. At eight her friend was killed as a result of racism. She has seen adversity and has turned it into her pet. She is the perfect story. A black woman, only daughter to the Minister and the Music teacher, high achiever, and potentially the first woman President. I urge you to read the following link--
She is an excellent choice.
one slight problem.
"I don't know how many ways to tell people that I have no interest in being a candidate for anything. ... No." Dr. Rice has exclaimed time and time again. We will see. Time will tell. To coin the phrase of a great friend of mine, you never know.
Briefly, I noticed, probably belatedly, that the Canadian Prime Minister plans to reduce the GST tax, currently at 7%. Sounds good to me. For those of you unsure of who to follow or cheer for in the World Cup in June.... Australia has qualified, so lets pull for them. Unfortunately they are in the same division as Brasil.
Good Day, happy easter..... i had a good one... chanks.

I'm back from Edmonton. No Seesiers, I wasn't hiding, I was working, but I'll bet you don't believe an idealistic socialist who says he's working because he must actually be trying to get out of work because apparently that's what socialists do according to your way of thinking. Oops sorry that was another run-on sentence. Just kidding, how are ya buddy?!
America is indeed a beautiful country with so many beautiful people in it. I must say that I do shut the sound off on the TV when I hear "bombs bursting in air" and then when it goes on to talk about blood dripping onto the soil from the carcasses of their enemies or whatever the next line is, I can't remember. National anthems incite hatred of people from other lands, and flags are for fags. Your nation should be defined by the people you feel close to, not a geographical boundary. A nation that claims that a military assault against other people in this world (who we're supposed to be co-existing with) is a good idea, is nothing but a participant in the destruction of this world, which is happening faster than most people care to believe. If you have children, you must let them know that unless their generation learns to respect others, as nobody has in the past, then within their lifetimes the world will be destroyed for all purposes of supporting life. I don't have a lot of faith in the human race sometimes. We act as though we're more important than other life forms on this planet when in fact we're the most despicable, violent, destructive force on this planet, and the other species would be lucky if we'd go extinct if it weren't for the fact that we were taking them all with us.
I say a heartfelt YES to Condoleeza Rice, and if Hilary Clinton got elected I would be so happy I'd have to nail myself down. Thanks for introducing us to those two excellent examples of what America should be if it ever recovers from the misery inflicted on it in the last two terms by a war-mongering miserable psychopath.
Sorry to shower down depression on your very optimistic and inspiring blog today chanks. Sorry we don't agree on the yankthem, but it is after all just a song, and every song has people that like it and people that don't. I think it sucks. But LOOOOVE your taste in visual art.
Disclaimer: The following is not supported by anyone or anything, and is not meant to be taken seriously by PUH-sam... so don't freak out and cry (i never cry) or do do anything do do-ish. Smile, now cringe. heh heh.
And I quote,"national anthems incite hatred of people from other lands."--well, I ask you this..If I have a good self esteem, does that mean, I am inciting hatred against others? If I love my family, and tell them, while together, that I think they are special... does that incite hatred against other families? In short NO! Is Nationalism a positive thing? Of course it is. Just because a nation loves what they stand for does not mean they incite hatred for others.
Because Psam says shallow things, does that mean he hates deep people... hahahaa. Flags for fags, c'mon man, next thing you will be talking about defecation. National anthems inciting hatred, how ridiculous. You worry me sometimes my fine utopian friend.
Secondly, your comment about animals is awry. What does an animal do all day every day. Uh, feed itself, shelter itself, cloth--nothing. An animal looks after its own needs. If there are too many of them, like a swarm of locusts, they destroy everything in their path.... okay okay, a broad statement, but mostly true. So what is the difference of a human looking after their needs? We are doing the same thing an animal would do, nothing more. Our human nature just wants to do what feels best!! Heh heh, more love less war.
You; Psamly psam, also say that humankind "act(s) as thoughwe're more important" than animals. Well when you are the most powerful species you ARE most important. Law of nature. He who is strongest dictates.(or she--whoops) I would say though, that mankind at least endeavors to keep the balance in equilibrium. Look at the preservation efforts for whales, awareness about the ozone, campaigning agains global warming as examples. So again, in contrast to your adversion to government, how could these "benevolent organizations" even exist without some sort of agreed upon method of social conduct? A rule of law. A constitution, everyone is equal under the law. Nationalism.
Now would you; Psam, say that meeting me at the donut shoppe to devour donuts is a good idea. Yes. I knew you would.... but wait, utopian,---- ( but it SHOULD be that way )---- walk to the shoppe, don't step on any ants, or cracks in the sidewalk for that matter. Eat outside (unless the heating comes from wind power) don't have a coffee in a strofoam cup, ( hmm does a ceramic cup rape the earth of its precious resources? ooooh a plastic cup is derived from oil,, oh know.) uh what kind of cup??? Don't have a home, live in a tent. Don't cut down trees for firewood though. Oh man don't drink coffee, because you are supporting inequality of the poor person (who gets paid in coca leaves and uses cow dung for heating) who picks the coffee beans. AAaawww phooey. I just wanted a donut. Now I am going insane!! I cannot help it if i like krispy kreme... who is owned by Altria, who makes ciggies who....AAAAAArgh.
Lastly, finally, furthermore-ly. Psam, as IF, you could pretend you didn't write your blog. ( see the first commandment )It has got to be more transparent than your signature on a bank cheque, you, with your utopian runs, and stinky logic, and and and and uh, i will shut up now. (oh i said that with a smile, a lol, and 15 wasabi peas in my mouth ) (please ignore this line) ( bracket for the sake of a bracket)[parenthesis] GET A JPEG GET A JPEG and go GET A JPEG.
the bavarian donut man's relation who idolizes him lots and heaps.
-mister transparency-
Don't you think that British soldiers were inspired by the sound of their glowingly patriotic national anthem sounding through their hearts as they hacked American farmers and their families to pieces? Don't you think that Nazi stormtroopers were filled with the pride of their national anthem as they turned Jews into concentration camps? Don't you think that American soldiers in Vietnam got up every morning, saluted the flag, sang the "Oh say can you see the number of people we've left in bloody mutilated messes on the field with our bombs" and then loaded their guns and started shooting villages? Don't you think that Canadians who kidnapped native children from their families taught them about "OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND" as if we had some greater right to it than they while they never got a day with their own families? Did Sadaam Hussein fly a national Iraq flag while he was gassing Kurds? The Japanese raped Chinese women during WWII and committed all sorts of things against the Chinese people that no person should ever have to go through, all in the name of their STUPID COUNTRY!
So if you wanna eat donuts, if you wanna drink coffee, if ya wanna eat chicken, let's just acknowledge in reality that there's nothing glorious or beautiful about what we're doing, and stop putting on pretenses. At this stage in our evolution, the human race is still quite disgusting and horrid. So stop talking about humans versus animals. It should read humans versus other animals because we are animals too. You wanna compare us to locusts? Great. Very fitting. We certainly can't be compared to wolves or eagles. We don't deserve to walk the same land they fly over.
You want to talk animals? Let's talk horses. YES, they do look after each other. A human being will walk by another human starving on the street and carry on walking without doing a thing. Horses groom each other, they feed each other, they lead each other to safety.
I appreciate your defending the human race. Lots of good qualities there. I'm pointing out nothing but the bad bits. Sorry people. I love you all. Except the jerk that bumped me and spilled my coffee yesterday. You, I hate.
I would simply like to quickly point out before I go that it has indeed been shown that people that fly flags are predominantly homosexual, so "flags are for fags" is rooted in a certain amount of truth. I happen to have a lot of respect for homosexual people though, and so I'd like you to know that if you fly or salute a flag I still care about you a great deal and wish happiness on you, for what it's worth. It's okay, you don't have to hide your true self from the world.
I also would like to state for once and for all that I DID NOT write that blog that everybody keeps hammering me about. I TYPED it you IDIOTS!
And now, in the name of all that's not too serious in the world, such as pie-throwing contests and the noise that chickens make (beautiful little animals) I must go to work, and leave my precious computer to find another complaint about something I said when I next come back to it. chanks is the greatest
Wow Puh-Sam YOU need a stiff drink!
The world is such an awful place, how can you figure things would be better with no governments or nations. As far as war goes that's a small group of men in power that have an agenda of greed. Human beings in general are compationate but there are some who are very self absorbed. Take for example someone who plays music for aliving. What benefit are they to mankind or mother earth? They are entertainers! Instead of spending our time cleaning up a river or planting trees we run off to a band concert......shame! The world would be a much cleaner place if it wasn't for all this useless entertainment.
British soldiers hacking American farmers? When did this happen? I musta missed it. Well when you say they did this because of the hate they felt, immediately after singing the national anthem? In your first bout of written/typed diarhea, you distictly said that the anthem incited hatred. So you are then drawing the conclusion that these conflicts you mentioned in your reply, are a direct result of the anthem...... have another stiff drink dude. You need it.
Bench, what is your problem? Coming in and flogging a misguided fellow when he is down.
Trans parent see mister......What can I say i'm a dummy!
Never heard of the American revolution? For your information, the American national anthem was written about their war against the BRITISH. So mister trans parent see mister, read up on your American history and you'll find that American farmers and their families got hacked to bloody pieces by PATRIOTIC BRITISH. It's always the most patriotic ones that feel the most need to go showing other nations how much better they are by destroying them. It was after the British oppressed and butchered many Americans that the Americans fought their bloody brave battle against the brits that gave them independence as their own nation, so they could spend the next two hundred years building up their abilities to treat other nations exactly the same way that the British treated them. Hence all the talk in their anthem about bombs bursting in air, rockets red glare, and spleens, kidneys and still-beating hearts of their enemies spread all over the ground. They seriously need to change their national anthem. It's ridiculously violent. Why not sing a national song about how much the people in your country appreciate and look after each other instead of how well they shoot people from other countries?
