Heals The Original Dryness

sigh *bangs head against a wall for a very very long time* yesserriebob, this is excactly what we need. more hatred, that'll get things going...

people are all comparing this to pearl harbor, and i agree, it's huge, it's devistating, it's scary. but we cannot expect this country to instantly turn into what it was 50 years ago, and rally together and follow it's leader into war and eliminating the enemie. have people forgotten that we've had a cold war? a world war three without one all out war, instead fought in little asian countries that were infected with communism. the country was completly divided in vietnam. i REALLY don't feel we are in a good state to follow our rage and just rally together and go to war... yet maybe we are, and i'm just sitting here at my computer with so little excposure to "normal" people, that i think there might be a chance that the country is not unified and up for war... but it's probably just me, that does not want to see the country rally together and charge into war.

every reaction i see and here from people, or on the radio, or tv, or somewhere, is some sort of EXTREME reaction (hm... that should be the name of a product). extreme greif, extreme anger, extreme fear, extreme numbness, EVERYTHING. and i'm getting VERY uncomfertable being in such an environment. my extreme is resitance, and i KNOW that is really not the best extreme to have. i get a vey nice, simple email from alfred talking about acts of vigilance poeple can do tomorrow to show "american pride" and "support for our country". my reaction: bull... shit...

50,000 or so lives should never have to be taken in such a manner. so much greif and so much fear should not be subjected to this many people at once. but ouur gov't, despite how well it compares to others, is still shit. i do NOT support wars, even if it is for "protection" purposes. if some one is mad enough to organize and hijack 4 airplanes in the US and run them into national monuments, they weren't just doing that for kicks. they were seriously fucked up, but seriously provokes, and i do NOT support sending more people to kill and get killed in retaliation.
