Damn. All I have to say is damn. Shit comes along and blows my mind, even if it's the smallest thing. I've started to realize my position in the grand scheme of life. I was watching Farenheit 9/11, (sorry Pubs, but Moore's mah dawg) and all these children blown to pieces, these families... grandmothers pleading with God for answers... all I could do was stare at the TV and absorb it all. Insane. Absolutely insane. I must say, and I KNOW this is going to piss some of you off, but I'm ashamed to be an American right now. Also, I was watching today a Nat Geographic thing on social outcasts, and of course they had a variety of people afflicted with leprosy. Anyway, all these things made me think...

I bitch about having no money, when some people live in shit.
I bitch about being lonely, when I have good friends.
I bitch about being fat, when half the world is starving.
I bitch about being bored, when I have a computer, cable TV, video games... things some people in the third world have never even seen.
I bitch about having a headache, or cramps, when I have just seen footage of a one-year-old dead baby covered in blood... who was killed by our troops.
Doesn't matter who gets caught in the crossfire when there's oil at stake, eh?
I bitch about politics... FOR GOOD FUCKING REASON.
Do your homework, people.
I saw a Bush/Cheney sticker today on a passing car and all I could see in my head was that child... makes me absolutely sick... it was hard not to start crying.
Also, to date 1202 American Coalition soldiers have died in Iraq. So, how much is a life worth? In oil money I mean? I hope Haliburton and friends are getting quite a profit. If I had to guess, I'd say they've probably done the math. Happily.


Please, PLEASE do me a couple of favors. Look up the facts. Watch F 9/11. If you are pro-Bush, and secure in that, what do you have to lose anyway, right? Do this. Then get your ass down to the local polling place, and save the fucking world.
