16. Look what Afghanistan did for the USSR before it
collapsed. We are following the same path considering our vast, internal financial dilemma.

When in a military-industrial state, just what would you expect to take the priority? The Pentagon is a huge funnel that sucks what it wants from the fruits of our labor. For now, we are beholden to the military apparatus and corporate mono-culture. Our problem is not the wingisitic issues about size of government as we all know, it is about who's best interests are being served.

Don't hold your breath for this to change as you watch funds cut from everything that matters to us here on the streets. Yet, it continues to worsen and who can do what about it when our masters have decreed it so?
