The Powers That Be

So many of our children are destined to die to insure that our automobiles continue to ride while the powers that be in the oil industry take our money and continue to thrive. Many factions of the oil industry's powers that be also have business interests in weapons manufacturing for the military. It's a win/win situation for the powers that be, but it's a tragedy for all of the surviving, grieving families whose sons and daughters were marched off, then slaughtered like sheep. All of us could save so many thousands of lives if we just parked our cars and refused to drive.
