 <title>Intereliance&#039; Day 2008</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Intereliance&#039; Day 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lately, much to be proud of&lt;br /&gt;
And it gets better every year&lt;br /&gt;
Changes are being made&lt;br /&gt;
It’s just too late, for fear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have those who gave truth to us&lt;br /&gt;
To take us out of war and better&lt;br /&gt;
To leave an American legacy&lt;br /&gt;
Of the everlasting dream we share.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have those who mind very much&lt;br /&gt;
Sending our Troops off to fight&lt;br /&gt;
And then when those Vets come home&lt;br /&gt;
They want to do them right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We gained more Heroes this past year&lt;br /&gt;
More than in any year gone past&lt;br /&gt;
And as each one awakens and more see the light&lt;br /&gt;
We know, they will not be the last.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are spreading, our Freedoms&lt;br /&gt;
In those foreign places like Iraq&lt;br /&gt;
And once we have set them there&lt;br /&gt;
We should not attempt to control their track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have people in our government&lt;br /&gt;
Who seem to really care&lt;br /&gt;
What happens to us here at home&lt;br /&gt;
As much, as all those. over there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;ve left our borders open&lt;br /&gt;
To allow our land to flood&lt;br /&gt;
So our kids play with others&lt;br /&gt;
Who diversify their education&#039;s plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We let our systems be used&lt;br /&gt;
By all those who want to belong&lt;br /&gt;
As they take advantage&lt;br /&gt;
Of what made our Country strong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have “all-American” companies&lt;br /&gt;
Committed to reason not &quot;force&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Who make, and build themselves up&lt;br /&gt;
Not just for, the bottom line, of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have many businesses&lt;br /&gt;
Who buy goods from overseas&lt;br /&gt;
Which are safe, and do provide us&lt;br /&gt;
Or give us, many healthy choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have the online “news” we get&lt;br /&gt;
Controlled by no particular stations&lt;br /&gt;
Who tell us what we want to know&lt;br /&gt;
To guide our, “public relations”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have insurance companies&lt;br /&gt;
Who want to pay the claims&lt;br /&gt;
They would rather let a profit die&lt;br /&gt;
So their high, reputation remains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have energy producers&lt;br /&gt;
And parts of the auto industry&lt;br /&gt;
Who want alternate fuels&lt;br /&gt;
And to raise the minimum mpg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a growing new “middle class”&lt;br /&gt;
And most of us live fairly well&lt;br /&gt;
Most the World still looks up to us&lt;br /&gt;
We can not break down and fall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have the rich getting less righteous&lt;br /&gt;
As the “middle class” is getting rights&lt;br /&gt;
It seems not to matter what they have as&lt;br /&gt;
All they want is a more equal share.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have, “The New World Order”&lt;br /&gt;
And we should all be gratified&lt;br /&gt;
That the elite will not rule us all&lt;br /&gt;
Once, all our freedoms are united.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have so many, “true” believers&lt;br /&gt;
Who will not blindly, follow behind&lt;br /&gt;
None, afraid to think for themselves&lt;br /&gt;
Just each mind, leading a mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have Democrats and Republicans&lt;br /&gt;
Though, they all seem, just the same&lt;br /&gt;
Exposing all of the bs, lies, and politics&lt;br /&gt;
Of, the same ol&#039;, same ol&#039;, game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we continue to take our Country back&lt;br /&gt;
And make it what it used to be&lt;br /&gt;
A place, where our Constitution&lt;br /&gt;
Still rules, the Land of the Free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have our old two party system&lt;br /&gt;
Who think they have all the power&lt;br /&gt;
So we continue to prove them wrong&lt;br /&gt;
With the Intereliance of We The Peoples&#039; finest hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BL*M&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey*Abe,  i*just could not resist, showing the flip side/Future*Side/Alternative*Side of the actual reality of Our*Time here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanx for all your great work, i*always enjoy seeing it ;)&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>Independents&#039; Day 2008

Lately, not much to be proud of
And it gets worse every year
And if changes aren&#039;t made soon
It just might be too late, I fear.

We have those who lied to us
To take us to war and worse
To leave an American legacy
Of an everlasting curse.

We have those who don&#039;t mind
Sending our Troops off to fight
And then when those Vets come home</description>
