Ok, once again I am here to talk about shit that pisses me off.
You would think there were better things for me to do, like work. But I would tell you: not so fast!
I hate politics. It is one of those things that I never got into or cared to know about for a very long time. They are all the same anyways. They are going to take our money and do whatever the people who paid them to get them there wants them to. Simple, I scratch your back, you fuck over the rest of the population for me.
Anyway, so I figured out why shit in Iraq is going so poorly.
Intent.
The cold war is over and America needs a new global enemy to fight. So terrorism is it. And a perpetual war is all that is needed.
Sure the 9/11 made the paradigm shift easier but Iraq was going to happen the moment Bush got appointed to office.
So I found out recently that the US military budget was going to be equal to the rest of the world's military budget combined. (Too lazy to find it again but it can be found).
And it is ever increasing.
So why do I care? I am not going to be sent over there to fight for Mr. Bush. There is no draft so none of my young friends are going to go. And the ones I know in the military made the poor choice to join the military in the first place, so I can only hope they don't go.
Disclaimer: I don't want ANYONE to die EVER except in old age surrounded on their death bed by friends and family and praising their good deeds in this life.
THAT is why I care.
I believe in the basic goodness of people and deplorable situations or mental instability make people turn to crime and corruption.
If people stopped being so obsessed with control, gained by either mental instability or mental manipulation or both, then shitty things wouldn't happen to people and we could learn to accept our differences rather than hate them.
All I know is that I will not kill anyone else unless they threaten myself, my friends, or my family, and it is beginning to get to that point and it pisses me off that it is.
