Onion video strikes a nerve to yours trulyThere is nothing I can say that be remotely as funny and sarcastic as this video from The Onion. First, there is plenty of opportunity to create your own legacy if you just grab a bucket of courage to break from family's legacy and know where to look: the best place being to start with the Internet job databases to figure out what skills employers want. Second, the fact that military recruiters have to resort to subversive tactics to recruit people into serving their country bothers me on so many levels. One that recruiters would stoop that low to make their numbers. Two, that Americans aren't lining up to give back to this Great Nation that has given The World so much opportunity to those that ask. While I don't believe in a conscripted military, if things are this bad would make sense to adopt Israel's model of compulsory service in order instill the same sense of nation that Israelis hold so dearly? I wish I knew the answer.

Notable Quotes"I get so impatient with the pop side of causes, the whole sensibility of, 'Let's get together and change things' because these people just do not know what they're talking about and don't take the trouble to find out how they can really change something. It's a Sixties mentality - it had no action then, and has no action now. It's just sound and fury. And, let's be honest, how many of these people are only lending their names as a career move?! Geddy was involved with the 'Northern Lights' charity record here in Canada, although Rush weren't invited to participate in the 'Live Aid' event - mainly because if you look at the guest list, it was very much and 'in-crowd' situation. We didn't refuse to take part because of any principles...Some of those involved in 'Northern Lights' were actually quoted as saying that their managers told them to get down to the recording sessions because it would be a good career move! What a farce!...I believe you have to get involved far more then just giving money to salve your conscience, even that type of charity is so negative because it's self-serving and shallow." |
