threesixtyfive : eightfive : the unthinking majority

Serj Tankian : The Unthinking Majority : Elect the Dead (2007)

Not at all what I had in mind for this song but the neighbour came over (he’s from the UK working towards his landed residency status), some whiskey, a few beers and the conversation went on into the wee hours of the morning (3:30a.m. to be precise) - politics, war, government, humanity, religion… good times. This song only seems fitting as a wrapper for the conversation. Yeah this photo was taken past midnight but so what, I was up, it was still part of the day the conversation started - besides, it’s my threesixtyfive, not yours!

Tidbits from the conversation:

The Ground Truth (video)
The War Tapes (video)
Why We Fight (video - watch on Google video)
Ghosts of Abu Ghraib (video)
Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (video)

Peace is Every Step (book)

Zoriah (flickr war photojournalist)
Elect the Dead (website)
Barack Obama (website)
Would Canadians rather vote in a US Election? (survey)

You can’t resist this on black…

It’s not a Rock Band or Guitar Hero song. It should be. Kick ass.

FREE texture from NinianLif (again).

And on that note, I’ll be getting off my soapbox….

We don’t need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me.
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggy hostels.

We don’t need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
