Come Together, Over Me*


The lying, dying corporate press - the dinosaur of informational dispersal, known to those with the memory of Walter Cronkite and Breslin, Royko and Caen - these outlets are past their usefulness. The knowledgeable people, the ones who have a handle on how the connections amongst people begin with a truth basis of what comes next, these are the ones who balance the esoteric with the ordinary and process a life view. These are the people who will lead in the future.

They are not getting their information from the obvious, not looking for consensus for the sake of consensus, but asking what about this? How is something so obvious doesn't get a comment. How long must we place the blame on Lee Oswald?

I'm done blaming soldiers for the pain they caused It's reconciliation that must occur. Soldiers must look into the eyes of the Iraqi people and apologize for holding weapons on their families. Citizens must shake the hands of other Iraqi citizens look them in the eye and say I'm sorry. This is the future of peace, as I see it.

No more State Dept. It's worthless. No more military peace keeping. It's dangerous. Just me and an Iraqi gentleman with family and children, a trade he can't go back to, and a country devastated
