My fellow Americans -- 'We The People .... Have No Clothes'

Let us probe why many Americans, including several whom I've asked the direct question, do not want to confront the reality of Bush meeting with Cindy Sheehan and telling her the truth regarding the 'noble cause' that Casey Sheehan died serving.

I think, deep down, most realize the fact that it was not a 'noble cause.' It was what I diagnosis as a malignant disease infecting many Americans -- 'remorseless consumeritis.'

Bush and the neoconsters know that 42,636 Americans were killed in motor-vehicle related accidents in 2004.

They also know that most other Americans don't give a flip.

Thus, to most Americans, what's a thousand or two Americans killed in Iraq in over two years if it ensures that millions of remorseless American consumers can drive vehicles big enough to sleep four or more in luxury, compared to the shelter 100s of millions elsewhere on the planet call 'home.'

You wonder if I'm being cynical or inaccurate.

Well read the following and let me know:

•  I agree

  The culture of this country is all about having whatever we want, now, without any regard for the consequences to the people making our clothes, creating the useless junk we consume, dying for our cheap oil, or starving so our food supliers can make record profits. As long as Walmart has whatever we need at the lowest price why worry.
