so i go this email the other day about how people are unhappy with the way that our country is headed. then it went on to say how horrible it was that we had air conditioning when it was hot, heat when it was cold, running water, freedom of religion and all that crap. but it wasn't just a "be thankful for what you have" type email...it was more like "stop your bitching and trust our president because he's a god and could do no wrong" type email.
so, by the line of reasoning presented in the email, i suppose it would follow that it would be fine for me to do the following, as long as i paid my taxes and bills (which by the way our government does not do), showed up to work and put food on the table:
* raid my neighbors' homes because i suspect they may be storing weapons and plotting against me
* kill the inhabitants of said homes, or anyone else who looks at me any way i don't see fit, just becuase i can
* take working people's money from them because i need it more
* charge taxes and tolls for walking down my street or past my house
i'll think of more...i'm too tired right now, but had to get that out. plus, it was demanded by someone that i update my journal, so...there it is! thanks for the kick in the ass! nobody reads this anyway...but it is done.

I hate emails like that. As though simply pointing out that type of thing will make me go "Oh, I completely forgot about all the ways that other people's lives suck. I'm so relieved that my life is so good, I'm not going to ask any more questions about why all those damn dirty foreigners don't have it so good as me."
