damn fine quote from Easy Rider there. I just got done reading an article my dad forwarded me (courtesy of my activist cousin) about the opposition to military recruitment in the latino community.
It's hard to be free when you are bought & sold in the marketplace.
Since W took office, recruitment among blacks has fallen from 23% to 14%, which is to say from nearly double their statistical representation to roughly 25% above their statistical representation. Now recruitment among Latinos is trending similarly. Among the article's conclusions, The Bish* administration will have to learn how to do a better job of recruiting white people if it is to feed the war machine with the bodies it needs.
*deliberate misspelling. I mistyped it that way once before & then conjured in my imagination the image of Belushi wrenching the guitar out of Stephen Bishop's hands on the staircase of the Delta house in Animal House and smashing him over the head with it. This is my new lasting fantasy image.
Can anyone Photoshop my avatar onto that sequence to create the same effect?
p.s. When Foggerty wrote "Fortunate Son", I am now convinced that he was having a Nostradamus moment about the Shrub.
