This world is not ours

[Doc]

In closing, I have taken the Oath of Enlistment that states I will defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  Sometimes the system can be it's own enemy.  I am against a violent uprising.  Our founding fathers built into the system the means to change it.

While I have made no formal oath, nor been a part of the military service, I take much of the same stand. While I didn't go to Nam or have bits of my body blown off overseas, I have done what I hope is a service to this country. A lot of us have. Most of us will never have our work recognised as being as such, much like the common grunt, the soldier that does what needs to be done and never gets noticed.

I would, infact, die defending this country and the ideals that were presented at it's birth. I still believe in the integrity of the Constitution as a foundation. And while I am against violent uprising my self, I do not discount it as an option. Instead of bleeding in some God forsaken jungle over seas, I have bled right here on these streets at home. I have dedicated much of my life to making sure that other people get their fair slice of the American pie, a little piece of the dream. I still am. And will continue to do so for as long as humanly posible. And I have made provisions and plans that my work might continue after I die. While I might badmouth our current administration, that does not make me any less of a patriot. Because I do not practice blind obedience does not mean I am a pussy liberal terrorist sympathiser. While my views are highly controversial, even considered anti-American, silencing me only proves my point. I love this land. I was born here. I hope to die here. While I might like to go and visit other places, I know deep down that this is my home. I have invested to much of my life, my blood sweat and tears, to ever leave. While I have been tempted to move to Canada lately, it is merely a passing thought. I will do as I have always done, endure, and hope that things will get better.
