“The invasion of Iraq will surely go down in history as one of the most cowardly wars ever fought. It was a war in which a band of rich nations, armed with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world several times over, rounded on a poor nation, falsely accused it of having nuclear weapons, used the United Nations to force it to disarm, then invaded it, occupied it, and are now in the process of selling it.” WorldWarEnoughUsedForceNationsProcessPoorUnitedRichBandWeaponsIraqNuclearSellingNuclear WeaponsUnited NationsAccusedInvasionCowardlyFalsely AccusedPoor Nations Book:Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire Source: Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire

This is what I should be doing.” KnowsShouldLooksMadeCountryFunForceSimplePowerfulHalfCompanyHellRecordsSawsRocksFrontsBandLocalsOpeningMade ItMost PowerfulEstablishmentHandfulPalacesRecord CompaniesDenverRamones Author:Jello Biafra

“If you're with a good band and everybody's from the old school, it's different. When you're in your element, you're in your element and things just come. You don't have to drag them out or force them out. They just happen.” IfsDifferentHappensSchoolForceBandElementsDragOld SchoolGood Bands Author:Van Morrison
