Does this blog have anything to do with Rachmaninoff's 3rd Concerto? NO. So why exactly is the title Rachmaninoff's 3rd Concerto? Does there have to be a reason?
As we proceed into the 21st century amidst a setting of strife, suffering, hidden fees, and other so called lies such as the notion that Iraq isn't in a civil war...........
I'm sorry. Iraq is not in a civil war. It is in what I would like to call "political in-fighting with the use of armaments". That way we can look at all the killings on the street of Baghdad as nothing more than political parties/religious factions trying to make themselves be heard in the young democracy with the use of guns and bombs.
Come on!!! If the country is not in a civil war, than I don't know what the hell its in. Come to think of it, yes, the people living in the country are living in a earthly hell. Let me go look up civil war on Wikipedia and see what it says so we can clarify. I understand that Wikipedia may not be the greatest source for information, but counting that I don't believe that I have to pay for educational information, I'm sticking with Wikipedia.
The first sentence on Wikipedia states:
"A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area."
Go figure.

Begging for Change
A disheveled man came up to me asking for change.
I told him I couldn't.
He asked me why.
I said, "I ain't no politician!"
The disheveled man was absolutely clueless. Can you believe him asking for change? Impossible. The only way change could ever happen is if enough people wanted change. Enough being the majority and not the minority, and even if you are the majority, you have to be careful. If there happens to be a couple of real nasty assholes in government who go against the majority with their dainty filibusters, than you might as well quit and go to a country where change could happen. Like where? Well, countries that seem to have a lot of change seem to be young countries. You know, the kind of country that just started, and they have a whole pack of factions vying for power. I hear Iraq is a place of constant change. I don't remember if its a change of blood or course, but what do we care? Its not as if we're over there trying to help them.
OH...that's not good.
