An idea in the beginning also a bit of an experiment with little participation locally. Statistics prove that. This never came close to what constitutes a forum in a failed attempt to raise awareness locally. Thus this will no longer be the Oak Creek Forum but just another blog among the tens of millions out there on the internets. Disappointed-not even a little bit. If one makes the choice to visit fine that's appreciated. Choose to not visit that's fine too. Feel offended-tough shit it's the internets start your own. Can not be nice to those who condone and assist in perpetual war nor those in government that lie to us continually. No petty ass rumor mill here you can bet on that.
What is important is not what is on this piss ant site that on a good day generates 20 hits a day but things like this said continually, bloviated by the war loving pundits and conventional media who in the end support the idea Iran is a threat to the world when the the truth of the matter is the opposite. Stuff like that. Election in 'O8 don't count on it. Will it be fair you can bet it won't be. Should there be concern and is there any? There's much concern about who invented the internets and the drug and alcohol addled Spears family. There's not much concern that several Republican presidential candidates believe man lived at the time of dinosaurs and that they want to be in charge of the most powerful nation in the world.
This needs to be said over and over. There is a reason 12 million people around the world 3/15/03 marched in protest about what our county was about to do in Iraq. We did so because we knew it was for lies. Our source of information did not come from conventional media in this country and the same thing is happening in respect to Iran. I will not accept this with out voicing dissent.
If the corporations gain control of this medium which they want so very badly all the millions of sites such as this will be difficult at best to view if at all. It's the blogosphere this incredible place similar to the universe because of its size and diversity. Something like 70% use e-mail exclusively for circulating humor. There is nothing humorous about events in my country since 2000 not a thing.
Enough of this serious shit
Let's Shake It Up
