I may reek with "white upper-class privilege" but I am actually Latino and I can tell you that I am in no "colony." I can only speak from my experience which is that the anger that is so clearly dripping from every vitriolic word you write may be useful to mobilize you to action but thats about it. Don't delude yourself for a moment that by hating the cops, or hating Bush, or hating the government you are going to save any Iraqi babies. There is very little in the realm of progress, equality or justice that comes from that anger.

My experience has been that a lot of young people get mixed-up in these movements with personal grievances and project that onto the movement with the hopes of somehow vindiacting some early personal life injustice. I hate to tell, but, it doesn't work that way and it ain't gonna happen. On the contrary, you'll just end-up becoming a victimizer yourself in the process or eventually an extremely bitter person...

I'm not saying wait on anything. I'm just saying why don't your start with yourself first. You want Bush to stop being such an angry asshole, why not start with yourself first? You can't change him, but I guarantee you can change you...
