"Collateral Damage" Is Not Real

The following article illustrates an unfortunately common result of our over-militaristic culture:

A 15-year old Afghani boy was murdered by U.S. soldiers. There was no reason this young man died, he was not posing a threat to the soldier. He was simply working in the fields outside of his family home. After he was murdered the commanding officers of the brigade proceeded to mutilate his body by kicking it and shooting it posthumous. To add insult to injury the United States Military and government then denied claims that this murder was unfounded, stating that the unarmed 15 year old posed a threat to the soldiers.

How many young men and women must lose their lives in order for the corporations that own this planet to profit further? How much more money and indentured debt slavery can be acquired before we wake up and realize that we are free, that the corporations have no power over us when we use our democratic vote?

Generation 'Y' (Why?) is not THE FUTURE, we are THE NOW! There is no time but now. Let's make it count, stand up for human rights!
