Life during Wartime by the Talking Heads is the Royal Song of the Day for Friday September 2, 2011. The Duchess and I are constantly feeling oppressed by living a war economy. Sometimes we wonder if there is just a way to escape. Or in the alternative a more efficient way to immediately end these wars.
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco,
this ain’t no fooling around
The US is at war in at least 5 countries. None of which attacked the US. There is a budget debate raging but there is no discussion of the 1,000 US military bases in foreign countries and that 54% of the US budget goes to military. The corporate media does anything possible to distract form this ceaseless killing. For the Duchess and I to remind ourselves of how horrible the situation is, we sometimes find ourselves drawn into absurd discussions like. “Are land mines or drones worse?”
