I was actually searching for an answer if Bouncing Souls or AntiFlag wrote it? None the less, I've been rocking that song, like she says, to stroll down memory lane (and give you hope) when you sometimes need it most- like where I am in a camp in Northern Saskatchewan. Anywho. I must also say that, though I have never really listened to too much Anti-Flag before, I agree with much of their content that you, Amber seem to find far fetched. The problem that I observe (as a Canadian) is that there is a general denial of the "tarrorist" actions of the current government. Pardon the spelling. In watching the video from www.911revisited.com (an hour long video that will guaranteed change your life- not conspiracy theorists I must note) I have realized what many others whom I considered to be radicals or hippies, were talking about. Some crazy things happen behind closed doors at the mega-powers level, and I think maybe Anti-Flag doesn't know specifics but they are on to something that is true, but remains denied because of constant affirmations all around you, everyday, that the terror is coming from abroad. We have to be more open minded as to who is trustworthy. See what our trust has gotten us so far? Not much if you ask me. And for an FYI to all Americans, there is no way that I feel that I live in a 'more compassionate and embracing country'. We are just as bad or worse for consuming, and being racist and ignorant. What's worse is that the majority of youth here hypocritically blame Americans as being worse than us. It's so much blood and filth that covers north american culture that we are all guilty as ever. Just so you know how I feel about it.. See ya 704217@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:15:53 EDT
