I have my own opinions about the war in Iraq and if you dig a little deeper into my old posts, you might see that we have mutual feelings about the issue. My cousin has served two tours in the Middle East and I feel strongly that what is happening over there is bullshit, not to mention he went to Virginia Tech. This day of silence in respect for him and our fallen soldiers in Iraq. It is in honor of any person who has been the victim of meaningless death. Glad to see I have the power to piss someone off.

Far more people were killed in Iraq that day than in Virginia, and Monday was one of the "less bloody" days that week. Yet we see no presidential appearances at memorial convocations, no flags at half-mast, no moments of silence in Congress, no national days of mourning, no endless amounts of "news" coverage; so fuck it, fuck your blog silence and your other meaningless pathetic gestures, they're idiotic and moronic. As long as the American people turn a blind eye and an apathetic ear to the killing that they fund with their tax dollars, I don't give a flying fuck about the "tragedies" that burst their little security bubbles.
