It's a David Rovics song: Who will Jesus bomb?
http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/01/default.cfm? bandid=111310&songid=1125356&content=song
I've seen you in the markets
I've seen you in the streets
And at your political convention
Talking of your crusade
Talking of your nation
And other things too terrible to mention
And you proclaim your Christianity
You proclaim your love of God
You talk of apple pie and mom
Well I've just got one question
And I want an answer
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Maybe Jesus would bomb the Syrians
'Cause they're not Jews like him
Maybe Jesus would bomb the Afghans
On some kind of vengeful whim
Maybe Jesus would drive an M1 tank
And he would shoot Saddam
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
I've seen you on the TV
And on the battleships
I've seen you in the house upon the hill
And I've heard you talking
About making the world safer
And about all the men you have to kill
And you speak so glibly
About your civilization
And how you have the moral higher ground
While halfway around the world
Your explosives smash the buildings
Ah, if you could only hear the sound
But maybe Jesus would sell land mines
And turn on his electric chair
Maybe Jesus would show no compassion
For his enemies in the lands way over there
Maybe Jesus would have flown the planes
That killed the kids in Viet Nam
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb
Yes I hear you shout with confidence
As you praise the lord
And you talk about this God you know so well
And you talk of Armageddon
And your final victory
When all the evil forces go to hell
Well you'd best hope you've chosen wisely
On the right side of the lord
And when you die your conscience it is clear
You'd best hope that your atom bombs
Are better than the sword
At the time when your reckoning is here
'Cause I don't think Jesus would send gunships into Bethlehem
Or jets to raze the towns of Timorese
I don't think Jesus would lend money to dictators
Or drive those SUV's
And I don't think Jesus would ever have dropped
A single ounce of napalm
So tell me, who would Jesus bomb?

What is Christianism about? Jesus, a poor against the poors?
No, it would have been called Jesuism if it was the case. It is all about superstition, more exactly superchristus as I call it. So, I am not surprise at those extremists are against the game console that take less power but don't say a word about the other game consoles that take more as 10 time more electricity power to do the same job: to play games.
And even worst, sex is only the third biggest market in this capitalistic society. They said not a word against the first market in this capitalistic society: weapons traffic. Why are children is some countries doing war? only because they can afford the food without a weapon in their hand. According to the UN, it is enough food for all on this planet and 35 millions of peoples are strawing to death each single year only because they cannot afford to pay for this food. But those peoples don't say a word about what is the biggest genocide in history: starvation by poverty.
But maybe at they don't like games at all, because superchristus is not about games but about hypothetical future world domination of a small gang of religious extremists.
Finally, i will not trust one word of what they can say because I am not living in a hypothetical future of the unconditional of the perfect one. but just here and now. And it is here and now at I want a better world.
Note at the other religions are not better: they all claim without to be able to prove it, at we will have a better life after the death (West variant) or in another life after the death (rest of the world variant). With other worlds, they are telling peoples to don't take their responsibilities here and now but at it can wait until after the death.
And they tell at the word of their perfect one is a mystery, but at the same time are trying to explain it.
So, come on. If it is a mystery, no one can explain
A judge cannot be an expert in each matter, but it must understand at, in a democraty, the citizens must be abble to control the vote process. It is the only mean for the citizen to be sure at the vote was democratic and not biased.
With a digital vote system, only open source programs offer the possibility, for some citizens, the expert's ones, to control the vote process.And it is more. As the same program can always be implemented in 2 ways, in the silicium or in the software, such a vote system must be done on a 100 % open hardware.
Here is the problem. The conclusion is at no automatic vote system of today can be 100% controlled by the citizens, and that even by the expert's ones. That implies at every country that use such a system cannot claim at they are democratic countries anymore. Subject closed.
Next question: What can we do to restore the democraty in such countries? And if you are thinking at to bomb them is the solution, think about who Jesus will bomb in order to restore the democracy.
The structure of the recording industry have changed under the last decades. Almost every one today can own the recording equipement, so what is important to those few companies is to own the legal rights on the recorded piece of art. When our politician will give away the rigth for the people to do private copy, as in Sweden today or maybe in Spain tomorrow, they just sign a blanck check to those companies and don't give a dime for the rights of their own people. Hoppefully, many musicians understand that much better as our politicians and we have today more and more independant recording labels. The future of the recording industry is with those independant labels. See http://www.iaspm.net/recordingindustry.htm for a briefing about the recording industry structure and http://www.matcallahan.com/ The Trouble with Music for the point of vue of an artist:
"Making music is a process as old as the human species,which means that if the music's in trouble because humanity as a whole is in trouble. The Trouble with Music speaks to those troubles and it maps a way out. It's invaluable."
"Like the replacement of essential nutriment by junk food, music lovers are expected to surrender their critical faculties and consume the phony McMusic that can be more effectively controlled and profitably sold than the genuine article..."

Reporters without borders get paid by the CIA. In consequence, it have no credibility at all. http://www.voltairenet.org/article127688.html
