Well I thought about the Army...
Jun. 1st, 2004 11:07 amEveryone at my company got the following message from our CEO today via email. Emphasis mine...
Today starts a New Year for OURCOMPANY(note - our fiscal year starts June 1st). I want to take a moment and thank each of you for your dedication to our firm's vision and purpose. Each of you plays an important part in our firm's success. You make OURCOMPANY what it is. Your spirit of entrepreneurship and drive for the success of our clients and our people make us a unique firm. Of course, we have our differences, but those are properly set aside when we speak of carrying on the OURCOMPANY Legacy.
Nationally, we are amidst some struggles. Our enemies would like nothing more than to see our great country crack under pressure. Each of us has a part to demonstrate the resolve we have to keep our country strong, and to keep our economy thriving. Our demonstration of solid family values and core values will give us a great advantage over those who think we are weak. At OURCOMPANY, we can continue providing exceptional client service in assisting our clients in doing their part in building our economy. This is the time to give even more effort and exceptional service for our clients.
Most importantly, I ask each and everyone of us to continue to support our men and women in the armed forces throughout the world. While we are enjoying our peace, they are encountering some incredibly difficult circumstances, with enemies that do not have heart or values, and do not value life itself. Regardless of your political or spiritual persuasion, please take a moment each day to say a prayer for our courageous soldiers everywhere. They deserve it.
Thank you.

see, we can point this shit out all day long, but the thing about it is that people actually get behind it and, like, put it under their pillow at night. my problem has always been, and still is, how the hell do we stop this kind of rhetoric before we get to the point where it's stopped by bombs falling on our fucking heads? i mean, it's taken fifty years and twice destroying Germany to get them onto the program of world peace, and even so, they're still in line with the larger Capitalist agenda.
