Some things defy rational explanation...

That'll teach you to be nice. If she starts calling back, start acting like shes a fat chick. Nothing gets a girl's full attention like a guy that doesn't find them attractive.

uh huh?

Yeah. *hugs*

I do what I can.

Better than what? That's the real question...

There are some music clips on this Amazon.co.uk page of the music I am listening to as I type.

You might like an Arabic version of the punk rock classic "Rock the Casbah"!

I'm a peaceful protester and massive letter-writer/emailer/faxer. But all of that work - of hundreds of us - can be eclipsed if not publicly obliterated by the actions of a single screwball with a baseball bat. They associate themselves with our ideals, but they are not associated with us. People don't get that. The news does not care to help people to see that. "If it bleeds, it leads." *sigh*

You both know that I am a very emotional and passionate person, but that does not by any stretch mean that I am incapable applying logic to certain situations. In some ways, politics are all about emotion - but to be taken seriously as a dissenter, one must be clear, concise and dispassionate. How can the fact of this be so obvious to me yet never graze the minds of so many others? Some things do not have to be taught - do they?

Even from our earliest years we learn that certain situations call for certain kinds of behaviors and responses. Isn't it natural to continue to apply that basic understanding to the world at large? Maybe it's jut logical to do so. Maybe I'm on crack. I just don't understand - and yet I DO understand the passion that fuels such action! I understand the desire for immediate gratification. Swift justice. Retribution. We are human, after all. But that means we can think beyond the present as well.

Maybe if I understood how I balance it myself, I could come to an understanding of what might cause the imbalance? Personally I think the world needs a little more patience and a lot less greed. And Ill stick with John Lennon; these things would be much more easily accomplished with love.

Oh man. I totally feel the same way about the way Americans act, of course we're not burning down embassies (yet) but we've done so much other stupid shit on our own soil and abroad that it makes me want to embrace my dutch heritage and leave for the Netherlands. It's really sad when such a minority of people can ruin the positive image portrayed by the intelligent, moderate members of a country/society/whatever. There's not much you can do about the stupidity of other people, except hope they get caught or hope something terrible happens to them..at least, that's what i do..muahahaha.

good luck.
