I Want to See the New Orleans Dead Bodies--Honestly, I Really Do.
Forty-some years ago when I was a young adult, our TV industry (that consisted of like 3 networks), showed dead bodies night after night from 'Nam. I'll never forget the picture in Time of a mid-evil pickup cart of the dead where a 6 foot, blonde, all-American hunk lay on top of the dead heap of bodies with his beautiful face and his brains shot out. Our entertainment programs were of the "I Love Lucy" type.

And then there is today. Today even four year olds are watching some CSI-type program. Blood and spattered brains are consumed with every meal. BUT, our NEWS fuckers claim that they can't even show a dead cat because of how upsetting it would be. Of course it's controlled propaganda. That's why I say I want to see the faces of the decaying dead. Or, at least we should be treated to the 25,000 bags full of bodies on national tv (25,000 being the number of bags they sent to the region). Will that happen?? Of course not. The propganda machine will hide behind the "we can't shock them" shit. Thus we will see a few coffins and a few cryin' blacks.

That media won't ever let the people in on the magnitude. They did on 9/11 because it was the rallying cry for war for oil. They can't do it this time because the only enemy to seek and destroy is Bush and the republicans. I've grown to detest this country.........Show us the bodies.

1. Cover Up
We'll never see the bodies, nor probably know the extent of the dead.

2. I want this to be shown
He is lying when he says it is for the dignity of the lost, it is to not shock his base. Same with the pictures/videos from Iraq, and the coffins of our dead soldiers. It is to protect his image.
Personally, I will not look, I just can't, but I still want the rest of the world to see...I want HIM to see!
