:I'm not so sure that violent acts in resistance to the government is what the AIR site suggests. The "Tools" page definitely offers other alternatives. Simply the title of the site implies a more civil disobedience (or at least a less violent one). When you add "make art not war" to your musing, you imply that the Oklahoma bombing is art, not war. I have a hard time with that and I'm not sure that's what you meant. Good point about the purpose of this Wiki. I hadn't thought of it quite like that as a writer, though I've been using this quite like that as a reader. --[[User:Tsguitar|Tsguitar]] 22:57, 22 February 2007 (PST)
No the AIR site opposes it, as do most of the people on the artist forum. When I said "make art not war" I was coming from the point of view that up til now most of yearzero has been about violent resistance, where as now people are coming forward who are against it. Going along with the theory, the bombing was just an instance soonerlater used to say "violence doesn't help the cause, it only causes more pain" in response to TheWarden's view. I tried to simplfy my theories so i didnt clutter the theory page but it seems it has caused it to come across meaning something different then what was intended. I've rewritten the last part of that paragraph to try make it a little easier to explain --[[User:Quentin|Quentin]] 23:12, 22 February 2007 (PST)
:The Oklahoma Bombings were also looked at as a government conspiracy to cover up other things. Therefore, the whole backdrop of the album (the U.S. Gov't wagind war on the U.S. citizens) can be seen through this event. It could be when the government started to 'wage' war on the citizens or to cover up it's own mistakes or actions... I dunno, haven't done enough research on it, but it's interesting... I have continually tried to find if anyone that was killed in the bombings was also born on the dates given for the child's mom... Any info? [[User:Jgrizzy89|Jgrizzy89]] 17:42, 22 February 2007 (PST)
