Sit and think about this. Everyone in the Middle East believes they're in their own world. People in the Netherlands think they are in their own world. Every single person in America believes that they are in their own world. The people of Africa believe themselves to be in their own world. The people of Asia positively think they are in their own world. Some people in South America might not even know the world exists beyond the forest.. believing they are in their own world. Every other person on every other continent thinks they are in their own world. You think you're in your own world.. I think I'm in my own little world of thoughts, reasons, differences, similarities, comparisons, passions, faiths, cultures, visions, personalitites... We're all trapped in our own worlds.. unable to see that we are a part of ONE WORLD.. earth.
WHAT ON THIS GOD (and I emphasize god being anything you believe to be a higher power than yourself) GIVEN PLANET MAKES YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR WORLD IF IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING VIEWED AS VIOLENT, HATEFUL, IGNORTANT, BELITTLING, INTIMIDATING and FULL OF DEATH AND FEAR?!?! President Bush, are you listening?
People listen when words are said no louder than a whisper... Put down your guns!.. EVERYONE! my country included, the great US of A.. and whisper peace to your neighbor. NEIGHBOR! That person in the totally far off planet sitting next to you on the bus, in the elevator, on the television surrounded by war and tearany, that person sitting in the corporate news chair blindly reading the day's death toll, but consciously thinking, "What the hell did I just read?"...
Your neighbor, my neighbor, our neighbors. Even those sick pieces of shit who molest children. Even those sick f*cks and corrupt dumbasses running the American government. Even those sick, twisted, confused people who blow themselves up in a crowd, or fly planes into buildings full of innocent people. Down to the person who sees their last day alive in an executionor's chair. All of you, even the good do'ers, even the hateful, even the blind and lost.
Peace.

Unfortunately, sometimes I think the only reason why we pay attention to these other countries are 1) because they give us stuff (i.e. oil), and
B) because there is violence and hate and oppression and hunger and injustice.
Think about it...if there weren't war-torn countries out there for us to fix, or oil that we want to buy, or terrible injustices for us to speak out against in outrage, we probably wouldn't pay much attention to Libya or Iraq or wherever. And part of me almost believes that that would be the best thing for everyone....at least nowadays.
But of course, there are always two sides to the coin and two opposing forces to every battle. See, this is why it's scary to think about bringing children into the world. I wonder how we'll explain this shit to our kids?
Anyway, going off topic a bit, how are you? Send me an email if you get a chance.
