I can FEEL the headache approaching
Mar. 7th, 2002 12:50 pmI have a headache. It's been gaining on me since 8:30 this morning when I went to check my email to find out that NO ONE APPARENTLY GOT the second version of my report. So I've been scrambling to get it finished.
Add to it that I'm now stuck in the trailer waiting for a place to find a 250 meg zip disk so that I may continue playing with the project and get it DONE by 3:30
*whimper*
Part of my headache is overstress at the world. Lots of things i've planned on discussing here and I haven't had the time to... from the supposed "peace plan" certain Saudi Arabian princes offer (What a bloody brilliant line.. yes, have Israel go back to their pre-1967 war boundaries... losing Old Jerusalem and the Western Wall and you will "Talk to the arab world to promise peace")
I'm sorry... maybe it's my Jewish heritage, but Jerusalem ISN'T your most holiest of cities like...I can't think of the name of the city that muslims try to go to each year, but it's in Saudi Arabia. Jerusalem *IS*, however, the Jews most holiest of cities.
I mean, if y'all were willing to let Jews have access to Jerusalem to be able to pray and live, it'd be one thing, but history suggests you weren't willing to do that before Israel took Jerusalem back and I seriously doubt you'd do it now.
It's really easy to get into an anti-palestinian, anti-arab mood.
It's very easy to feel sorry for all the innocent americans of arab decent who will probably spend the majority of the next 20 or so years looked upon with hatred... or at least distrust.
I was reading a very disheartening story in TIME Magazine. The question is... are we prepared for another 9/11... and can we stop it?
The fact is.. we're not.
While there has been increased communication between the intelligence bureaus... very little has actually changed for the better. It's still too easy to get explosives or like onto a plane. It's too easy to cross the border and the fact is we've still managed to bust 0 American Terrorist Cells.
Which, I believe, doesn't mean they aren't there... they're just hiding.
And I truly believe something else WILL happen. Something even more horrific than 9/11.
*shakes head*
I've come to the conclusion that the human being is an unsalvageable wretch: pathetic and terrible. Each and every one of us has the potential to be a monster, a terrible inhuman beast. I don't know where the line lays between the "Good guys" and the "bad guys" anymore, because we're ALL the bad guys.
I look to India and Pakistan... I've met a few people from both countries and I've liked them all. But they have such TERRIBLE hate for each other. There are stories of people in India taking women and children, stripping them publicly and raping and defiling.
It's not as if either nation is what I'd call a third world country either. These are educated intelligent people.
Except that they aren't intelligent. They're terrible, horrible, inhuman bastards. In this week's TIME there's a story of a poor girl who lost her entire family in riots... of Hindus LIGHTING FIRES to four year old boys and killing them!
Or we could go to the inhuman beasts preaching to our catholics in Boston and beyond who have found it OK with their god to sodomize and harass young boys. More inhuman beasts.
Or there are the stories of the Afghani who gave American military information that a wedding party was really a group of Al Qaeda terrorists when it was... a wedding part. All so that said Afhani could repay some "debts". I hope that man burns in hell.
I should stop reading the news. I think it's getting unhealthy for me.
In any case, time permitting, I'll be playing Tropico tonite and make the headache go away.
Sorry for the odd rambling. I'm in a rambling mood.
Rambleramblerambleramble.
Hey, that's fun to say.
Try it with me.
Rambleramblerambleramble.
Wheeheeheeheeheee :D
er... right.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm apparently Kar's hero?
Apparently I got so ramblingweird in one post, I blew her mind.
Woo! :D
OK, time to post and finish things up.
