PROTECTED BY BOMBS

 It’s reassuring to know
That I’m free to roam
In this land that’s my home
With no fear of foreign invasion
An impenetrable nation
We’re protected by Bombs.
Yes the sun shines brightly on you and me
And we’re all free to do as we please
In our pursuit of happiness
In this land that god does bless
We’re protected by bombs
CHORUS:
We’re protected by bombs
We’re a nation of arms
No one can do us harm
We’re protected by bombs
And the bombs our lives will defend
Until the bitter and explosive end
2nd Verse:
Then I read about Dresden Germany
And Hiroshima, Japan and Nagasaki
Suddenly the thought occurred to me
Bombs are a frightening reality
And I wondered what would happen to us all
If some opposing nation pushed our backs against the wall
Would that be the day the bombs would fall
And annihilate us all?

Sing out strong and sing out loud
I don’t want to be killed in a mushroom cloud
I don’t want to be killed in a fireball

I don’t want to be killed at all

The myth of U.S. CONGRESS representing WE THE PEOPLE


NYTimes: Lengthy Battle on Arrest of Ed Snowden


"...Overwhelming majorities in both parties in Congress appear to 

support the prosecution of Mr. Snowden."


"...and the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., 

was forced to admit that his previous statement to Congress that the 

agency did not collect records on millions of Americans was untrue.


So here is what I take from that: 

1. Congress does NOT represent the will of WE the People which is 

a congress person's job to do.


2. Congress supports the NSA, an agency by the admission of its 

own director, James R. Clapper Jr. , spies on WE the People, who, 

again, are the ones who voted these representatives into office.


Unless of course, I am mistaken. Did the members of congress poll 

their constituencies and ask them how they felt about the NSA 

spying on their personal phone calls?


Did congress men and women ask the people whom they were 

elected to represent if they in fact felt that Edward Snowden was a 

criminal who should be  prosecuted for treason?


I tend to think not. And that summarizes one of the biggest things 

that is wrong with our elected representatives today. Whose \

interests are these shills actually reflecting?
