To begin this volume of the Contradiction and Exploitation, I would like to respond to a letter I received from one of my faithful readers, who called my last entry, "Para Why" full of "gross inaccuracies". Well, then I retract just a little. Perhaps the Peace Corps has done some positive things for some people somewhere at sometime. And possibly the Peace Corps directors do not answer to a cabinet member but to good old George W. Bush himself. I don't know if this is true or not. But I do know that I don't care. Because no matter to whom they answer, I still stand by all of my comments, which followed because they are my OPINION. My definition of opinion is "A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof." Inaccurate, to me, would mean "Not accurate; not according to truth; inexact; incorrect; erroneous; as, in inaccurate man, narration, copy, judgment, calculation, etc." Well now I am lost in syntax but the point is, I take my own opinions to be accurate to me and I don't really care about other's inaccurate opinions of my opinions. There, I said it.

What I did find entertaining as I thought along this week, is that the world's number one colonist for the moment, the great G-dub, may be responsible for the Peace Corp directors, and therefore the programs of thousands of volunteers in scores of countries where US colonization efforts are more than clear. So if his foreign policy as it is applied to the Peace Corps has anything to do with his political agendas, then I even have more questions about what is going on. (Isn't he also the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military?) Hmmmm.
To his discredit, George has often summed up his view foreign policy in interesting ways: "We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile." - Des Moines, Iowa, August 21st, 2000.
