so, i'm pretty upset over the current state of relations between certain world powers...not to mention the current state of the world itself. anyone with me? It seems that every morning the front page of the paper presents to us proof that we are just getting one step closer to "the end." an end to what, though? some may say the end of terrorism. or the end to an "axis of evil" as our oh so saintly (and witty) president likes to call it. the end of saddam and any other anti-american forces threatening our well-being and interests. or maybe the end of capitalism. the end of this greedy, consumer, corporate empire that has caged us all in. (i sit and type all this with the aid of aol time warner--what would i do without you guys?) or maybe even the end of civilization as we have come to know it. the end of the world even? so many questions and so much confusion, anger, sadness....so little time. i feel that it's hard to be optimistic in a time like this. and i hate the fact that so many people don't even seem to care about whats really going down. but then again people shouldn't have to care or worry about bullshit like this. it simply shouldn't happen, right? i dont think the reality has hit a lot of people yet, but it will. people my age have grown up not knowing what it's like to be afraid. and i think the rest of our lives are about to change dramatically. it's inevitable at this point. capitalism cannot work anymore, or at least not for much longer. there are way too many people populating the earth. our resources are rapidly drying up. the fucking polar ice-caps are melting. there are more and more natural disasters occuring every year. theres the ozone problem which still isn't getting any better. the leading power of the world is picking on others trying to get rid of their weapons of mass destruction, while they won't give up theirs and they are the only country who has ever even used such weapons. blah blah blah...its all fucked. i wish more people would talk about this sort of thing on the site.
