Current mood: unsettled
I just got out of
the movie "Letters From Iwo Jima" and that led to a
discussion with me, my dad, and brother about war and politics and it
is all definitely blog worthy. I personally don't understand war. You
have to get 1 overly war hungry person that dupes half a nation? Like
sheep thousands are slaughtered for what? Your friends, your family
are the ones out in Iraq right now. How many people know the real
details behind the war? What are the motives to keep someone from
just living and loving their families? People need to start thinking
about life and what's really important. I like to fuss over girl
issues and problems of the heart and though that may be self centered
or petty in some people's eyes it's a hell of a lot better than
worrying about being drafted or if someone in my family is coming
home in a body bag. Who wouldn't the freedom to care about love? I
want to join Stamper's rally and I encourage anyone who reads this to
join as well. The problems with your president and government are
finally hitting home, what are you going to do? Is the country doomed
to fall for more Republican propaganda. "They're gonna take
my guns away! Mitch Daniels loves motorcycles! Fuck faggots and keep
every baby from girls raped by their sick relatives!"
Meanwhile our wallets, sanity, and safety all suffer. I'm tired of
being surrounded by sheep. Everywhere, everyone wants the same things
in life, the simple things that make them happy yada yada, yet
because people lie to themselves and allow their decisions to be made
for them history repeats itself. Its crazy but friggin hippies have
probably made it the farthest in the quest for happiness and all it
took was weed and hacky sacks. I want to believe people are angry or
passionate about changing things, whether they know how to or not. To
be honest, I hear things from my dad everyday about politics and
history yet I feel like I can't really make a difference. And
honestly, I don't think I can as one person. But, things like
Stamper's rally or w/e are perfect examples to show that you think,
you give a damn about something and want to change and can shake the
frustration of being the one w/o a voice. The fact that it would take
so much work to get the point where people are doing NOTHING, nothing
but trying to better themselves is fucking ridiculous. No child left
behind? Some fucking kids need and choose to be left behind, and
here's an idea, don't cut fucking funding for the kids in the process
of "helping" them. How do we stop war and bring the troops
home? Of course! SEND MORE TROOPS! Especially when its to a
country we never had a reason to fight. Things like this are right in
front of you, everyday, and how can we stop it all? Does anyone even
care anymore? I dunno, I can't really go on because as I said, I
don't know all the details, and I don't really follow politics, but
when things finally start to hit home you realize how numb to it all
you can become. Depressing as it sounds I think our generation may be
reduced to nothing but fist shakers and pigs led to slaughter.
Strategy from the Nazi's and Japanese, the one time Bush did his
homework.
