Preach on brother!! I see his point and yours. If it is humorous it is humorous in a black comedy, laugh so I don't vomit, laugh because I can't cry anymore type way. I am very afraid of what seems to be happening to our nation and world. There is an evil so deep, so all-permeating that no war, even one that was worth fighting, could begin to pay retribution. There are no more wars fought for the good of human kind or posterity, only for the good of ME ME ME! Everything apears to be for sale. The only hint of morals are cultural taboos. Textbooks did well teaching us that Hitler was evil, and he was, but what about Stalin? What about Apartheid?! It ended less than 20 years ago - a modern day holocaust. What about AMERICAN IMPERIALISM?!Dammit just listen to me rant. I normally would claim to have no polical views whatsoever. I hate politics. But I'm 20 years old, which means every male from my graduating class will most likely die in WWIII. Do you have anything to be so angry about that you would personally explode the body of another living human being? If not then for the love of all our happy little looping, meat eating, gas gussling lives,  write to your goddamn senator! Participate in a march! Thanks for reading and sorry for the rant. Peace. - Kirk
