Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
let it be welcome

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

nobody knows whether it is true or not. there are hundreds of theories about how she died... ranging from having sex with a horse to drowning in the toilet.

And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends, his mother whispers quietly... heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

the Seminole tribe did not exist before the arrival of europeans, they were a band of remnants of smaller tribes, runaway slaves, and whites who preferred to live in the native society. the word seminole is itself a corruption of the spanish word cimarron which means "runaway slave". vthe seminole wars were not to annex florida it was to get back runaway slaves and to take florida so that slaves had no place to run away to. this was the first actual fight for freedom for slaves by actual run away slaves.
textbooks will only say that there was a seminole war because seminoles refused to move to oklahoma.

More facts!! But these ones are all American.. 
There is no evidence that Betsy Ross sewed the first U.S.
flag. The story didn't even flutter forth from her relatives
until 1870.
George Washington did not toss a dollar across the Potomac.
Even if he did toss something, the dollar didn't come into
being until after the U.S. gained independence.
Francis Scott Key did not write our national anthem. He penn-
ed the words then set them to an old English drinking song.
It did not become the national anthem until 1931.
Most of the midnight ride of Paul Revere was accomplished by
other horsemen. It was Samuel Prescott, in fact, who carried
the warning to Concord.
The Declaration of Independence was not approved on July 4,
1776. Only John Hancock, for the assembly, signed it that day.
The other signatures were made on August 2.
George Washington wasn't the first U.S. President. John Han-
son was the president of the Congress of the Confederation
and carried the title of president of the U.S., as did eight
men after him.
"Yankee Doodle" is not an American song. It was a British
ditty designed to harass ragtag colonists during the French
and Indian War.
And they say our history means nothing.

"there is nothing because there are no words with wich to think any other way than regurgitating slogans and propaganda that has been served to you by the government. people become human soundtracks. it prevents self expression and without words to express individual thoughts what becomes of a person? they are nothing but an extention of human power"-Yvette S.

Thomas Jefferson was an athiest.
John Brown was not mentally insane, his radical views as to the equality of men of all races was deemed insane and so every other history books proclaims him insane. kansas was a place where free black men could own land. at the same time southerners could move in and have slaves. slaveowners from Missouri crossed the state line and burned down a "freetown" hotel and destroyed 2 printing presses. in response, John brown's people went to Pottawatomie and killed 5 people who were pro-slavery. not many history books mention the attack on kansas but mention john brown's attack, making it seem like his actions were without merit, thus making him insane. not many text books actually quote john brown because he was a damn good speaker.
40,000 canadians fought for the union during the civil war.
the civil war was about federal vs state, but later it became slavery. in maryland, the slave issue was brought to a vote, because it was still legal to own slaves in maryland, yet they fought for the union. the votes casted during the election were mostly for slavery, but the absentee votes overwhelmingly turned the election to freedom, simply because the soilder that were fighting the war were for freedom.
Anti-racism is the greatest gift to the world by the US.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
