Amazingly well articulated and truthful. I have to say I support this guy. We are all wage slaves for corporations/gov't/wealthy until we wake up and revolt. It's shocking to hear that some may think, but really that is the only solution to the corruption rampant in not only the US gov't, but the entire world. I am not advocating communism, I am simply suggesting that the doctrine of capitalism we accord to is by no stretch what anyone in their right mind would call "fair" or "sane."

Now, I'm not a supporter of violence in any form but as Anuril said: it resonates through history, that since the dawn of man for great change to occur, so must blood be shed. This man had to do something to get the truth out, and flying a plane into a building (an IRS building even, fool be tryin' to convey points and shit) was the only thing he thought he could do to turn attention to a matter of grave importance.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. To stride for anything less is tyranny.

I read the whole thing. word for word. He has really good points and he's correct for most of it. The sad thing about the whole letter is he's correct in saying that no one would have read his message had he not ran a plane into a building or some other fanatical act.

He sounds like he got *assraped* one too many times.

Sorry I reread your post; I completely misread it the first time. I was agreeing with you.

I completely agree with nearly everything he said in his letter. One of my favorite quotes is, "He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it". Now I may be misquoting the exact phrase but the application is still the same.

I am also very pessimistic sometimes toward the US government and the
American people for the same reasons. Although I prefer to live in a corrupt system rather than die trying to change it, I can understand his perspective for sure.

[Obama]

Wow that is amazing, It is unbelievable how corrupt the powerful are, and how utterly stupid and docile the public is. It's hard to deny that the author is right about justice in this country. There is no justice when the law is INCOMPREHENSIBLE, that in itself contradicts the very definition of justice. I guess all other avenues were exhausted, and the only way to make his mark was through terrorism. Maybe now the government will clamp down even harder on basic freedoms in this country, and maybe then people will get pissed off and revolt. But they almost certainly will not.

Moral of this story: take all that you can, be as corrupt as you can, because in the end, the little guy who tries to make an honest living gets fuuuucked.

The truth is, the government is organized and the public is separate. As long as it's kept that way, change will never come. We can illustrate critical thinking and come to agreement that our government is more or less a criminal organization but as long as we are separate, we have no power. And let's face it, who wants to risk losing everything for what is likely a lost cause? The US has hundreds of thousands of deploy-able drones that can do their dirty work for them in the event of a 'social uprising'. Even though it is our right and duty to overthrow a corrupt government, the unfortunate truth is that replacing a corrupt government wouldn't fix our issues. A good example is when the Tzar was overthrown in Russia by common folk like you an I. Farmers attempting to run a country is a bad thing. (Not saying we're farmers or anything.) I'm not saying that was your point, just bringing this idea into the conversation. We just need to get those old crones out of congress and get some younger open-minded people in there with a short term.

This man has a message that needed to be heard in my honest opinion, but a true martyr would have just killed himself to get it out, not tried to end the lives of other drones working a 9 to 5 going thru the same struggles as he. Becuase you work for the government, doesnt mean you are a criminal or reap the rewards of the upper echelons misdeeds. The only people he would have killed, even crashing into an IRS building, is other victims. Well, mostly. He MAY have gotten to 1 or 2 douches.
I read what was said about blood needing to be shed for change to occur historically speaking, but does it really have to be blood of innocent people? I dont think that has always been the case.
Also, Martin Luther King Jr, and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi wouldnt be half as great men as they are if blood were truely a pre requisite of change.
