Violence is always unnecessary.

The only time I see any amount of force as necessary is if you're trying to defend yourself. Violence only begets more violence.

I'm not the type to sit and live in fear of something I have no control over. But there's been a lot of talk recently about the possibility of war, or the use of nuclear weapons. Considering just about everyone (and their uncle) now has the ability to use weapons of mass destruction, I'd like to hope everyone still realizes how easily everything is going to get fucked if someone drops the bomb.

I think the thing that frustrates me most is the realization that there are a lot of truly fucked up sadistic people running the show these days. And there are too many people that (for god knows why) support them.

I have no faith in our neighbours to the south anymore. (Not all of you, but the country as a whole...)

when I look at America as a whole I wonder why people wopuld want to live here. what really opened my eyes was when I was in Cancun Mexico this past spring and met some people who live there (they were from Argentina originally though) anyways the way they carried on about the typical Americans and how our President and many affluent tourists present themselves made me realize that is what they see of our country first hand and what they know of our country from the news. The hotel I stayed at had mostly rich people who acted like their shit didn't stink and all that happy horse-shit, so I could see immediately why they had ther opinions of America that they have. I tried to explain that its much different here for a majority of the people are not like what gets presented in the news/media (either major success stories of money & greed, or high violence, drug addicted crime filled mayhem) most of the time its quite nice, and most poeple are good honest hard working people.
anyways I don't know where exactly I'm going with this except that it scares me too that 95% of the people I know are good normal people yet the world sees the other 5% and deems us a crappy country filled with corruption and evil that must be stopped. ummm, yeah...thats it.....or something

It's pretty scary.

And although I might (accidentally?) say a lot about my life in a paragraph, I never manage to say it all.
