hollywood and the pentagon

i am more than disgusted at the level of involvement the government has in hollywood and vice versa. the relationship is more than inappropriate, it is incestuous. each has the power to heavily influence public thought, and are abusing that power to promote and agenda. for hollywood the benefit is making money, for the government the benefit is publicity. as if the government does not control the lives of its citizens enough. the documentary reaffirmed my theory that the government is a machine that operates on fear, oppression, ignorance and blind allegiance.

random notes to self from class: RE- the allure of war/military--> to me there is no allure in war. no mystery. no curiosity. i do not want to kill anyone. i do not want people to try and kill me. i could not function in the military because subordination and unquestioning loyalty is not something that i subscribe to. regardless of what history has reflected, war is not necessary, it is not innate, and it is not unavoidable. war is motivated by greed, hated and misunderstanding and is despicable to use human nature as a justification for any act of violence.
