Poverty and Ignorance

Description

This is really the first image I've ever made. I felt so strongly about the issues at hand this year, I just had to get this in before election day. The quote in it is from author George Orwell, and the full quote is as follows:

It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact. ~George Orwell

IM sorry being from a country that has lived in terrosism for ohwell over 200 years. War is often fought too keep one free. Too fight for the very aspects in our lives that so many people are ignorant of. That your wealth, fan,laughter,intellegence, power, ability too read, write and make merriment aswell as religious and political values are often kept in ignorance is normally do too the ignorance of ones own freedoms in which they take for granted. I say onto this aswell and Im not a Bush supporter, 9/11 was one of the most distraughting days in american history and the face oft he world, NOT just america changed. And while the circumstances seem dim here in America where the coast of living and such rises, , cherish not which you would take for granted for it would be in vain to try and stop the petty and the few whom do. And when you go to place your vote, remeber what you saw when you saw men and women jumping from those 2 towers, instead of dieing by fire but too die another grisley way. And remember and too quote "We shall go after the men who did this, go after the countries whom support it and harbour the ways of terrosism. The day you stop and think of the deaths and what is taken for granted is held together by a fragile bond, in which even poverty is apart of it. Remember what it is your writing and how you write in such bittersweet,
