<description>	&lt;p&gt;Its still there, chewing, grinding, burning and punching holes thru the young men and women who volunteered to defend this nation. Our shit-sorry excuse for a president betrayed them and thus and thus they've died by the thousands.....&lt;br /&gt;
And the dead are the lucky.&lt;br /&gt;
Tens of thousands have been maimed, walked straight-on into the world of double, triple and quadruple amputee-ism.....&lt;br /&gt;
And no-one mentions them.....&lt;br /&gt;
No-one speaks for them.&lt;br /&gt;
All these kids are dying, disfigured, blown into wheelchairs or insanity....&lt;br /&gt;
And no-one gets it....&lt;br /&gt;
You dont get it.&lt;br /&gt;
None of us, soft and simple, we simply just dont get it.&lt;br /&gt;
Baby, yr silence speaks kilotons.&lt;br /&gt;
Yr silence kills me.... It kills them....&lt;br /&gt;
As does mine.... As it does and as it is.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh babygirl, it kills and kills and kills.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>	&lt;p&gt;on Rodney Mullen, the skater of great fame from days of old for just being flippy-flippy with his skating style..... And then a skater who stillllll skates and actually knows the current state of skating directed me to this....&lt;br /&gt;
I watched and learned and came back humbled and muttering and wheezing.....&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Motherfucker, Mullen is a god-fucking god.&quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
