I am reading Guns, Germs and Steel by Jerad Diamond -- Good stuff, I'll let you know when I'm done

There is HOPE ---- Everything passes and life goes on

Whats needed is our collective care for a pleasant present and an outstanding long term future for all ---- future of us all ---- Individualism is only the oxygen that will help the entire being survive, its not everything.

SO go live large but not like LA large and "feel your life", remember its not about wining so much as its about growing and feeding.

HAVE A GOOD DAY

Our military boys with approval from the White House (our representatives) are now counting Iraqi deads!!!!

Its funny that its only doing it selectively -- What could this mean

They only count dead insurgents now------make me a cheese sandwich

Maybe this could explain a little why they hate us.

I still don't feel safer than before or after 9/11.

Why our media spends 90% their time (other than half baked news) covering what impacts less than 0.1% of the population. Why we are not debating and discussing what happends to majority of the people. There are about 10,000 murders in US a year, that is less than 0.1% of all deaths but looking at any newspaper or TV news you'd think most of the population is being murdered everyday.

No man, that is only happening in Iraq not here.

To join the nuclear club for the developing nation has also an economical component. They no longer have to spend vast amount of their GNP for self defense and can direct more of those funds for other more important use. May be that is one of the reason why the nuclear powers don't like others to have them. In most cases they are the arms dealers profiting from killings coming from conventional weaponry!!!!!!

One thing about Europeans that are more sinister than Americans is their unrepentant racism. Americans hate people that they don't know but our European cousins hate all non-Europeans without exception period.

The only reason why Europeans seem to champion the cause of such poor bastards like Palestinian is because of their Colonial history. They know how to manipulate their subjects. Where as US policies are purely based on good vs bad as it relates to its survival and prosperity.

If you want to see how indifferent to diversity the Europeans are just go over there and visit those countries and compare them to how minorities are treated in US. US is where all the oppressed people still want to come, eventhough the US policies have in most cased contributed to their predicament. NOW, THAT IS IRONY WRAPPED IN DICHOTOMY......

The abuses of prisoners or passing out pictures of prisoners are all as a result of an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. When the world sits idle and seems to accept the dominant power's projection of force these daily events are inevitable.

The exremists in US or British military see nothing wrong with their actions. Abusing and Killing Arabs or afghans becomes acceptable because the politicians have made it so. I do not blame the foot soldiers they are just a tool as Saddam was in 70's and 80's. When Bush grins at hearing of such news what can anyone expect from the soldiers.

I blame all this mess only on Bush and his team, plus several congresspeople that have agreed to pursue this violent policy of invasion and occupation.

I say it again, after all is said and done, its the people that voted to reelect Bush are the source of continuation of this madness.
