The only name she remembers was Poston, which was split into 3 parts, she was in camp II. It was also called the colorado river internment camp. She doesn't talk much about it, but we went to the opening of a memorial for the internee last year, it was pretty emotional. My grandmother was in the camps.

I choke up every time at the same bit you do. I've had the album on repeat for the last two days and I always choke up on this song. My ancestors were persecuted for their religion, racially we are a mishmash of everything from Caucasian to Mongoloid, very subtle features, but I feel a kinship with eastern asian cultures and discrimination of any kind sickens me. The songs on this album deserve much more praise than they are getting. I didn’t think this song had the same effect on anyone else. I choke up every time at the same bit you do.

All I can Say about this article -

Seems like a couple of like- minded people have been moored ashore to your very interesting blog…
But for a difference…

These lines Still linger on to the corner of my mind…even when I write this blog…

‘That meant ‘First Generation In The United States,’
When everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs,
But most of all afraid of a homeland attack,’

‘He, looked at his wife without words to say,
She looked back at him wiped the tears away,
And, said “Someday we’ll be okay, someday,”‘

‘I, I remember my husband said
“Are we gonna stay ’til last?”
Then my husband died before they close the camp.’…

good article , In a nutshell…
Always wanted to Do sumthi like this..

There's a good Wikipedia article on the camp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzanar. It's a very emotional song for me too. Mandinar is actually Manzanar.

When I first heard this song i had talked with my freinds about world politics, and why the hell we are such busybodies. We take our freedom you're right, but we are losing it, the U.S. will end all threats. And you know what REALLY SUCKS in 15 years after most of this is over the defeated will band together and bomb us really bad, we'll go to war, but without allies except for maybe the U.K. We'll DIE. As for fort minor and kenji yes i had heard the song, i bought it off i tunes and it has brang me to tears at least 3 times. It's one of those songs that hits you, i showed fort minor to my best freind, he said they were really good and the next day he told me he's buying the rising tied. I read a review of fort minor on i tunes that said that he liked mike when he was in linkin park and said he hated him for possibly breaking up linkin park and that he was a "gangster wannabe like all the other rappers" i read a lot of rejection to that review. I also said that if you have songs like kenji and where'd you go (i'm talking about the video, because the song itself lacks much emotional effect) how can you be a gangster wannabe? one thing more to say. A lot of good artists just come out with really really good songs that will stun you. Sum 41 realeased "peices" and it is really sad. Some artists publish good songs and sometimes make really really good songs like modest mouse published "float on" Fort Minor and Mike deserve to go to, the top but he just hasnt got enough word out, its popular in some places but not others. Fort Minor is definitely my favortite band right now. Also when looking through i tunes i discovered that many minumum rap listeners (like me, but i consider fort minor alterenative rap (and i mean the new style alternative not that stuff 50+ old fashioned alternative)) I have a couple Fort Minor songs and you’re right.

Should we get used to vendors releasing buggy/crappy products just so they can make a buck? Is it OK for MSFT to push this out the door with known issues? I don't think so.

This song is more than just Mike expressing pain and sadness what Kenji went thru,It also serves as an eye opener.We are the creators of our own demise unless we decide to learn from the past and move towards a common goal.A goal now only a select few enjoy around the world and those who do have it,take for granted:FREEDOM If you cant look at your fellow man as your equal or acknowledge their individuality,then everything we live is a lie.Democracy,Freedom,Capitalism and just the fact that you can walk down the street freely.ITS ALL A LIE! This is one of the few songs ive heard that has almost brought me to the brink of tears.
