Good and evil.
Black and white.
It's funny, about all the people who are concerned about the world's immanent decline. Why? As a race, we haven't been that successful. A third of us are starving, while the rest watch, the remaining two thirds despise one another. (I think that is too many thirds) We've crapped so badly in our own nest that there is a growing number of scientific minds who say we have now passed the point of no return.
What is there to save?
Is it a kid thing? A better place for all of our kids? Is it because I don't have children that I'll never understand the fear? So how many of the parent's of the world have, oh, lets just take one, given up driving their cars for their kids future? Oh, what's that, hardly any of them?
But what is the fear of the world ending? Is it that everyone thinks it's going to hurt? You know, like the population collectively is going to stub its toe... break its leg? Or is it just general, non-specific fear, because we are all now taught to be so fearful?
Love doesn't really work, though, now does it? I guess, it works on an individual basis, for two or a family size - but lets not delve too far into the love shared between family members, hey? Love doesn't work on a national or international scale though, now does it? What's one of the best things that humans are good at? Hate and war? I mean, hate is now a political strategy. John Howard - "there is a bunch of Muslims who are resisting becoming Australia, who are resisting Australian values."
Only Muslims?
Nobody yet has given me a definitive list of what these Australian values are?
Howard is quibbling about the language we all speak? Is that because they don't speak his language of hate and won't fall for his rhetoric?
Family values? Our values, as opposed to "their" values?
Can someone explain to me how the war in Iraq works, where the Christian country of America and the other's, in the coalition of the willing, 2nd commandment is, Thou shall not kill? There are no qualifications to that commandment in the bible, like unless you are up against filthy Arabs, or dirty Muslims? Thous shalt not kill, means no killing. How does a Christian country like America get around that one? Let alone, thou shall not kill in a war when the reasons for us being in it were all decidedly dodgy. (that's the nicest I can put it) I believe the point that our boy Jesus was really hot on was, turn the other cheek? Not eye for an eye.
I guess what I'm saying is that right up until now, lust seemed to be winning out over love. But them old Yankees just seemed to go and dog gone it, finally, good for them.
There, take that, Bush!
