has anyone heard-got conspiracy of one, that explains the situation pretty well (this was written in 1999 or 2000)heres what its about:
I thought about that conversation for a couple days. I thought about how it must have been during the cold war. I mean, during the 50‘s, 60‘s, and 70‘s, you had nuclear buildups, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a lot of tension, and I believe that that was pretty frightening. Today we don‘t have that threat from another nation. But we do have that threat from others if you haven't noticed, we're not the most popular people in a lot of the Middle East. We also hear horror stories such as how Russia 'lost' a half a dozen suitcasesized nuclear bombs and no one knows who got their hands on them.
So the idea that we as a country face much of that same danger today, but actually in a much scarier way, made an impression on me. I decided to write the lyrics to the song about it. That‘s what Conspiracy of One means, that the threat or danger that we face comes not from a whole nation but from one crazy individual.
I was also feeling particularly artistic about this one, so you‘ll notice if you look in the CD booklet that on the page for this song there are a couple of cryptic pictures with a little caption underneath. I wasn‘t going to explain these, because I think some things should be left to everyone‘s own interpretation. I also feel a little bit like a guy explaining how a card trick works! But, what the hell, since you guys are cool, I‘ll give it up.
The first picture starts off with “Ah, the good old days.“ That‘s supposed to show that this is how things were a long time ago. The picture shows two giants connected by a rope to their innards, and a caption that says, “Two men, from opposite sides, bound together by a siamese ripcord tethered to their souls. Who will pull first, knowing that it will destroy them both?“ And that‘s how it was, the giants are the two superpowers, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The picture and caption means that if one had attacked the other, then there would have been mutual destruction, because both nations had enough bombs to wipe out the earth ten times over or some crazy number like that.
The second picture represents the situation today. The caption says “One man, from opposite sides, struggles to keep the dangling ripcord from the reach of a little man who does not hesitate to pull, knowing that the falling carcass will destroy them both.” In this picture, the giant is the U.S. and the little man represents a terrorist. It also shows the suicidal nature of terrorists today, that he doesn‘t hesitate to destroy himself in order to destroy his enemy. It‘s insanity, I know, but we were trying to show things the way they are.
as you can see, this was written in 1999-2000 when this sorta stuff was going on (dunno if it still is) but i think its got a good message bhind it

Mother nature can take down that super power!!!
But the bad thing is that it took away one of the most cultural parts of the US and all that history...
now its gona take like 20-30 years to build it up again, and mostly poor people died...

There doesn't have to be a Hurricane for that to happen.

Do you think this kind of thing would be happening if katrina took place in a more educational part of america?
Did this kind of stuff happen after the boxing day tsunami?
Should'nt these people get off there arse's and start helping rather than sitting a waiting for help to come to them?
