"I really fucking hate war," says 14 yr old KWSpawn!
My son and I had a really great conversation about the war in Iraq yesterday..He is a bright and wonderful boy and I enjoy talking to him about current events.
5. Pop culture is starting to express that subliminally.
System of a Down's "BYOB" is creeping onto the top 40 charts, and is a big name on the alternative charts with chants of anti-war and anti-Bush sentiments like:
"Why do they always send the poor?"
and
"Why don't presidents fight the war?"
Even my conservative friend likes the basis and the song itself.
I listen to tons of that as well. But what I'm saying is, though we may not listen to the music itself, the crowd that does is hearing these pretty plain and simple ideas for the first time. And it's coming across better than a speech or a column would.
with such sentiments as: "What the fuck is wrong with this dude?!" re Bush, and "Fuck this war bullshit."
As I listen proudly, having never guessed that my baby brother would be liberal like me. Always thought he'd take after his "nuke em all and let God sort em out" dad. Guess despite his mumblings of "Alright already" he actually listened to my rants. :D
