38. I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees...
I hope if it ever comes down to these two options, i will stand up and die for what i believe is right.

I know that the battle for this country is really a battle against a group that does not care about the poor, the elderly, the children, the sick, the hungry, the abused, the dead...in this country or any other. Their victims are not only their perceived enemies. They send their own nation's children to die for profit. I feel responsibility. I feel responsibility for all those who are terrorized by my nations hand. They died, grieved and starved while i lived, loved and ate. The mess belongs to me.

I did not vote for them, I never supported them, i spoke out against them at every turn BUT I DID NOT STOP THEM. Others have paid the price for my nations folly and i am ashamed. I watched as my country attempted to force others to live on their knees. They are dying on their feet every day. Other peoples children are already living the nightmare i fear for my children.

If i do not fight for my country, my country will continue to lie, steal destroy and kill IN MY NAME. Yes, i would die for my country, so my own children won't and other people's children do not have to...anymore.
