Well, I guess I might as well write another journal entry, all you regular writers are making me feel guilty. I went to band practice today. Our drummer couldn't make it, so practice was craptastic. It's always really hard for us to stay on track if we don't have a drummer. Practice always seems to degrade into us playing bad 80's hair band covers. Not that it isn't fun, just not very productive.
Anyway, yeah, on my way to practice I passed by a busy street corner in Napa and there were all of these old people and obvious republican yuppies waving american flags and holding up signs that read stuff like, "Liberate Iraq!" What the hell. I was so pissed.
How could these people be so ignorant? I mean, liberate Iraq? What do these stupid rich bastards care about the Iraqi people? What business do they have holding up signs like that while in the same breath rooting for a war that's killing hundreds and thousands of innocent Iraqi civillians? It's so disgusting. I was sooooo mad. I put in Anti-Flag's "You gotta die for your government (that's shit)" and drove back and forth booing them. Pointless, maybe. But I had to vent. Anyway, I hate this valley. I mean, not 60 miles away in san fransisco people are protesting the war and they are here rooting for it like it's homecomming. Oh yeah, and while I'm on the subject. I hate when people complain about war protesters clogging up the streets and making people late for work... WE'RE AT WAR! Heaven forbid the american people's lives be inconvinianced by being AT WAR. I mean, when other countries are at war they have bombs dropping on their homes and gunfire in their streets. Here in the US all we have to deal with is constant talk about it in the newspaper and on TV. When the Iraqi citizens get tired of the war they can't turn off the TV and stop the bombs from dropping on their heads. So stop your bitching about protesters making you late for work. Be thankfull that they are the worst thing you have to deal with as a result of being at war.

Yarr!

i totally agree with you on the whole war situation. or more accuratly how people are dealing with it. i just wish that people would make an effort to at the very least fathom what the word war means. understand its cause, its effect. understand the seriousness of all of this. understand that lives are being torn apart. that people are dying.
(sorry about the missing link, stupid Tripod won't let me remote)
