What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money.

You don't think that every day I wake up and wish I could give it back?

Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot.

#qt0408102-a / read by Shuja-34

Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break.

#qt0408102-b / read by Shuja-34

Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well.

#qt0408102-c / read by Shuja-34

But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East.

#qt0408102-d / read by Shuja-34

Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed.

#qt0408102-e / read by Shuja-34

Now the politicians are sayin', 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area' 'cause they don't give a shit.

It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard.

It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from.

#qt0408102-h / read by Shuja-34

And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks.

Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price.

#qt0408102-j / read by Shriram-60

And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices.

#qt0408102-k / read by Shriram-60

A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon.

And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis ..

So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids.

I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard?
