I despise the federal government.

What happened to the people's voice? How many people out there still care about the future of this country?
What happened to the original 13th amendment that states: Attorneys cannot hold a position in the federal government?
Our us constitition has been taken away from us. If you believe we have rights or freedom in this country, educate yourself!

"NEW WORLD MAN" Rush 1983

This is a prophetic song: They are all "fools enough to loose it". Lets help them.

New World Man lyrics

But you know he'll find a cure

He's cleaning up his systems

To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man

Learning to catch the heat of the… Continue
