As a U.S.Navy Vietnam Veteran and true AMERICAN, I believe absolutely NOTHING that is on the TV news or the newspapers. 
There was a time when I was very PROUD of being an American but in just a few short months it has become an embarrasment and not just to me, but to millions of Americans.

thank you so much adj ...
you are right on in a lot of what you say 
and yes, i think you know way more than many 
funny how oftentimes similar minds 
tend to rub each other the wrong way at first 
but then we see that we really are so much alike

I see no colour when it comes to people, as for race............... Well, yesterday I watched 1.Tour de France 2009 2.Formula 1 race  I don't understand when some people speak of different races
We are All of the amazingly brilliant & multifaceted Human Race
with a myriad of colorful & diverse cultures ideas & exposures

As long as they arn't a reptoid draconian I'm cool with everyone, whether they are human or not
What do you have against reptoid draconians?  Besides the fact that they eat people?

I specifically directed this to the Vets
and also to our Active and Reserve Troops
cause i really didn't want any one else's take on my question  ...
I hear comments from civilians & people in the media all the time .. 
i hardly ever hear what the people 
"who are actually behind the scenes "
really have to say about anything 
those men & women who are there day & night ..
those who are in the thick of it all
" They" are the people whom i admire
& respect far above All
& it is Their word that means something to me
Of Course i have great Respect for Our Policemen
& Firemen & Paramedics too by all means
& their opinions matter a lot to me too

Put the criticle eye on the news... Ratings pay their salary as do commercials. When you see 'commercials' that are about a current national or world situation... See them for what they are. A deliberate attempt to sway public opinion... Cause WE are the ACTUAL defenders of the constitution and they know it. During the early stages of the 'bailouts' I actually saw congress persons showing fear at the public response. Hi there Adventure Begins
Thanks so much for coming by
and for saying the things you did
...I really really appreciate that ///
Cause my hope is to be able to really see things better through the eyes of a person who has been in the Service & has been exposed to the way things are in the Military
& what it takes to keep war at bay and do what they can to insure that wars stay on foreign shores
& a chance to view a little bit of life with new eyes
from a completely different much more realistic perspective much clearer than most civilians have ///
and basically that is all i need to know
I get weary listening to the endless news & talk show channels
& everybody's take on everything 
I have soo many Other other things
that i want & need to to do
Certain things are obvious to me
& there's N need to keep rehashing it

What different races and nationalities of people have you had the pleasure of being around throughout your life? Note that i said 'pleasure'. This is not a thread to moan about or attack anyone. This is a thread to help eachother understand more about people with different cultures. It can be a touchy subject, so lets just keep it positive. What are some good things you have learnt about(or from) these groups of people? I live in a melting pot Honey
you name it, we have it or we did have it
& one thing i learned
and continually learn
is that we all are so much the same
under all the outward stuff
and smiles are the universal language

I love this multi coloured world image. yes, i do too .. it is so all encompassing
 Colors of the Wind
from Pocohontus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkV-of_eN2w&feature=related You think I'm an ignorant savage And you've been so many places I guess it must be so But still I cannot see If the savage one is me Now can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know ... You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle, in a hoop that never ends How high will the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Being in a war is different things for different people. Some see it one way others see it another. Don't believe everything the media tells ya, don't believe everything the generals tell ya. Read all you can and form your own opinion. Ohh thank you soo much Dear Man for stopping by
i need to constantly remember that not all those who are in the Military
& not all who were in the Military are truthful or have the same code of ethics
but for the most part i feel that i can trust the majority of Military Men & Women
& the kind & wise messages you leave are engraved deeply upon my heart
& i will hold them near & very dear to my heart
to serve as a compass & a gauge for truth always

I gave up TV and newspapers months ago. It feels great. I learn daily more than I ever could have by some talking head on TV. Or Propaganda by politically biased news print. Am Talk radio sometimes. No more cell phone either..that feels friggin great. Freedom I use the Internet as I choose...that is why I still have it. I do my own research. I have never owned a cell phone
although on rare occasion one would come in handy
& I have not had a TV for much of my life
it is so corrupt & filthy & sooo demonic 
 from much of the sick programming to the sick commercials
 & I feel that it is like big brother in that book 1984
keeping tabs on us & trying to make us all conform
they want us all to grow like boxwood hedges
you can't grow too tall or too full no we must not have that
because then they wouldn't know what to do with us
so they want us young & old to be on their antidepressants
or whatever they have on the market now to suppress us
but i refuse to give in to that mentality
they don't want us to grow any taller or any fuller than they can control
and woe to the people who have the intestinal fortitude
to be original & stand alone & break away from their mold
