Reading what Erik wrote on the 21st, i totally agree with what he said. When 9/11 happen people we so willing to give up all there rights and liberties so that they could feel safe and feel as if there was nothing to worry about. But then again it was only a phase that the people went through. Because a few years after the fact of the matter was said and done and it was time for war now there are probably more people opposed to the war than for it.
I think that history has a trend to reinvent itself. If you look back at the 60's with everything that was going on, it is very similar to today. There is just a general untrust in the government in things and do and say. A lot of the music know it is not uncommon to maybe here a reference to the war going on or to someone wanting a justified answer to why the war is still continuing. Some of the music has become anti-war just as it was in the 60's. Media coverage has escalated everything that is going on to another level because everyday that the television or radio is turned on the is an issue or problem or question that has to be answered.
