It's difficult to make a case that Bin Ladin had some level of rightness in his actions.

Clearly with the money Bin Ladin has, he could have promoted numerous other ways to raise awareness about his complaints relating to American Influence on Islam.

You know, I just wrote that last paragraph, and I don't believe it for a millisecond.

I believe we are full of a Wall Street run by shareholders who only care about continuously rising shares.

I believe we are full of Corporate Posturing that sometimes employs slave labor mills in other parts of the world.

I believe we are full of a Media run by ratings only.

I know we use 25% of the worlds resources for only 5% of the population.

I don't think there is any other way to get the attention of the powerful in the United States then through violence.

What a horrible thought.

Corporate, Wall Street, and The Media were all fueling each other.

The Media hyped Wall Street, Wall Street invested in Media, Corporations merged Wall Street with Entertainment, and it was just one big circle fuck.

And it was and is out of control and growing like a fungus on a daily basis.

The institute that was supposed to put a very long leash on all of this was our own government...

....unfortunately, who contributes the most amount of money to political coffers.....the circle fuckers.

Wall Street, Corporate America, and the Media.

The crazy part in all that has happened is it seems inevitable in retrospect.

We just think our shit doesn't stink, ever.

And we are all over the world and growing.

The sad part is, people were trying to get America back on track, from within America, and they were having no luck.

Anybody see Steve Allen's Newspaper Ads promoting family television.

I respected his message tremendously. Most of younger, hipper America probably thought his message of true family television was laughable.

The undeniable fact is this, if we outlawed marketing to anyone under 18 years of age, we would have a shell of an economy.

The other sad fact is if we don't brainwash our kids to think like us while helping to grow our economy, our kids would be off getting brainwashed by an outsider like Bin Ladin.

Seems like a lose, lose proposition.

Either we market to our kids and in the process we manipulate them and "train them" to be good American Consumers, or we shield them and let them "find" some other cause we don't approve of or have control over.

This is not about war. This is about how do we not profit off of our kids and yet teach them not to be brainwashed by the Bin Ladins of the world.
