As if that was news to anyone who can keep their own saliva from running out of their mouth onto the floor. But really, its like what used to seem extreme, outlandish, even crazy has become such a majority mindset in so many cultures that anyone that dare question its validity is to be shunned if not killed. We were watching that wife swap show last night, a born again traded with a jewish woman, how they each felt about their differences was just shocking to me, the jewish woman felt very uncomfortable in the bible group meeting and I am sure that if either of the other couple had gone to temple they would have felt like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. But here I am, someone who doesn't believe in organized religion, having a hard time telling them apart, in fact, I had a philosophy teacher in college who was doing a quick overview of belief systems of the world and one of them he simply called JCI faiths short for Judao / Christian / Islamic - yes islamic too! the petty differences where not worthy of detailing in such a high level overview. They may be emotionally very important to people in those faiths, but overall they are all pretty much the same.
What is wrong with the world today is that not only is the emotional attachement to these differences among these groups so great that they have killed each other over it for thousands of years, but the most traditional interpretations of each faith preclude killing, they all defend their faiths which all include some form of thou shalt not kill, by, infact, killing each other in the process. On top of that, I get to pay for it! Whats really cute is how each is quick to point at the other as being totalitarian savages, Islamic fundamentalists kill 3000 inocent people in a horrific way using our own planes, Christain fundamentalists kill 100,000 + inocent 'brown' people using a straight laced and orderly military that is the property of the state. Lets face it, we just became the red coats, what because we shave our killing of civilians is just and dignified?
I'm not implying we shouldnt do something about the really bad people of the world, I am implying that we are using that as an excuse to use the resources of a freedom of religion founded country to basically fight a holy war, christians have found a way to kill islamic people without tarnishing their white gloves, if the real aim was to get rid of bin laden and saddam, we have the very best tools in the world for that. Just as an example, we have a 747 with a nose mounted laser system, one laser is a targeting mechanism the other is lethal, it can track a ICBM the B standing for bullistic or faster than the speed of sound, then when its safely away from the ground, cooks the thing down to nothing, harming no one. just how fast do you think saddam can run from his limo into his palace? and who would take his place? shit we could have loudspeakers saying in their native tounge "who would like to be next?"
So you might ask, why didnt we do that? 2 reasons we "dont assasinate people" its against our own laws to do it, we are however actually allowed to put out a contract and have the brits do it for us. right. but the real reason: just ask yourself how much Halliburton would stand to make of an operation like that? hmm, not so much, maybe they could supply lunch for the pilots. Plus then you have a country that still 'owns' itself and its oil, region is more stable instantly free trade becomes commonplace and damn it all to hell, oil prices drop, no, texas oil billionaire just cant have that either.
And the conservatives out there will see this as nothing but the rantings of a mad man, a mad man I tell you!
you people really scare me.
Maybe we need a new law, your IQ must be at least this high to vote, ah hell lets make it easier, must be this high to hold office. The mouth breather down at 7-11 has a higher IQ than monkey boy.
damn, really wanted to write an a-political blog today, still getting sucked in.
Well, I will finish with this, America has always defended itself against foreign and domestic threats to its foundation, just because you aren't going after our consitution with guns doesnt mean your not in for a fight, and as history serves, you will lose, bigtime.
