Hi Pete and all,
I thought "event" meant a special event station... oh well. The US
declaired war on Britain? I suppose you would too if they invaded Canada,
burnt Ottowa to the ground and attempted to take back the colonies. Of
course everybody has a different POV depending on which war it was in
1812 but from a south of the border perspective it was the second War of
Independence. Naturally the celebration is of the Declaration 4 July 1776
but it took many years to convince them, the British are tough and don't
give up money trees easily. It took Ghandi to convince them to buy their
national drink but on the other hand Americans don't like to go hungry.
I wouldn't say it was THE most unpopular war, on the contrary. When
you're fighting for your homeland the last thing on your mind is an
anti-war protest with signs, you protest with bullets. I can't make a
fair comparison, only relate what I've been through so when it comes to
most unpopular my vote is for Viet Nam.
Pardon me for chuckling, Mr. Parish knew darn well words mean nothing. He
BRIBED the government, BOUGHT the government and it's not a matter of
timing, the government is ALWAYS for sale. The military industrial
complex is older than you think.
Now here's a song for you to sing, written for Cyndi Lauper Money Changes
Everything.
