Lately, I've found that reading the letters to the editor is far less irritating and infuriating than doing the Vox Gems, until I read this letter. It comes from Steve Willis of Savannah. Enjoy.
Americans don't like to face facts
What is happening here? There seems to be an almost universal pathological aversion to speaking the obvious truth in America. This administration lies and "disinforms" incessantly.
The war in Iraq is about oil. The Bush Administration planned to go there before 9/11, and never has had any intention of leaving until the oil runs out.
The current set of generals is highly regarded, (but the last crop was fired for not spewing the party line). The tax cuts for the rich have been bad for everyone but the rich, and their bank-accounts are on steroids.
Maybe there is a reason everyone in the world except Americans living in the "red" states believe in global warming, because it is obvious that the world is warming up, fast and furious. If you don't understand evolution, you don't understand science.
The reason medical costs are so high in the United States is that everyone inside the medical world is making exorbitant profit on the backs of everyone outside it (except for the politicians who are getting their cut).
Guns do kill people, and the reason the United States has such a gun-slaughter rate is not only that it is awash in a sea of guns, but no one can even discuss doing anything to control these guns without risking manic, well-funded attacks from the gun lobby.
The American media is owned by billionaires and their poor multimillionaire relatives. They use the media they own to broadcast whatever suits their interest. Their interest is not the same as mine or yours. Why can the truth not be spoken here anymore?
STEVE WILLIS
Savannah
Now, this letter isn't so much of a letter as it is just a series of claims. In his letter, Mr. Willis manages to arm-tackle the war in Iraq, tax cuts, global warming, our healthcare system, gun control, and even media bias. Whatever his point is, he gets across not with supporting facts, but the same piss-and-vinegar attitude that has gotten Steve Willis where he is today.
Tonight, I'll toss back a cold one for good ol' Steve Willis. It's inspiring when a man will stand up and speak on issues he knows absolutely nothing about.
God Bless America.

I have a feeling this guy owns a moped.
Man, that guy totally opened up my eyes to what's going on this country.
Yeah, sometimes I need a Steve Willis to wake me up from the "American Dream" propaganda machine. I mean, guys, we really aren't perfect like our first grade teachers tell us. Sometimes, I, too, am guilty of neglecting that fact. And by getting full use out of www.thesaurus.com and spicing up my life with his 50 cent words (the use of which undoubtedly makes a nice substitute for substantive points), he has awoken me from my mindless slumber with a zest and zeal that could only be felt in the hallowed halls of academia.
To Steve Willis, a true American and a Patriot through and through!
Plus I appreciate how Steve Willis, a.k.a. The Giver of Truths From Realms Beyond Our Sphere of Comprehension, expresses in a letter published in a major newspaper the idea that "...the truth cannot be spoken here anymore". He couldn't be more correct in his letter to the editor of a newspaper that was published for all to read. Differing viewpoints are oppressed, he opines in this public forum.
There is one thing I agree with Mr. Steve.
I too believe the Iraq War is caused by oil. But, unlike Mr. Steve, I support the war.
I don't think we went to Iraq for profits and a larger oil supply. We have ample reserves off our coast and especially in Alaska (which Liberals refuse to allow the US to tap because of "Save the Environment" B.S.)
Why? National Security. Iran has had their eyes on Iraq for decades (Liberals forget Iraq and Iran had a major war against each other.)
So, the US invades and controls Iraqi oil. Result, Iran is prevented from getting their hands on it and we have a closer proximity to their borders if we feel the need to invade Persia. We now have our hand directly on Middle East policy. If we keep our backbounds, we can prevent Iran from attacking Israel which may very well cause WWIII.
Summary; controlling Iraqi oil is in the US' national interest.
