Serious Post

Sorry to post something serious here, but this has really been bothering me. Why do I have a horrible feeling that we could go to war over this issue?

If you have not seen the video of the Iranian woman shot in the streets by police for protesting the bullshit election they had over there, consider yourself lucky. I am not posting it because I am not sure if I should have watched it. (Am I being voyeuristic or gathering news?) Thinking about it has really been messing with me. The image is the most gut-wrenching thing I have seen in a long time. I don't think I have ever seen something more upsetting as a matter of fact. I am not sure if it is because she is a young woman, because she is innocent, or because there is such chaos around her, but it really is one of the most terrible things I have ever seen.

While we are busy worrying about the "King of Pop", mundane day-to-day shit and a housing market in turmoil (big issue but not in comparison), these people are living in hell. No joke...hell.
Then we have North Korea acting the fool over there and a bunch of crazies in South America too. This could very well be a recipe for WWIII, or at the very least Obama's Iraq, in my humble opinion.

I am not going to go on a whole rant here, but just to say take care of you and families because the next few years could be really rough.

  2. yeah true, I am not saying that we are above it. I am sure much worse things have happened in the Iraq and Afghan wars, but this has all the same potential for shit going down just like those. That is sort of my point shit is crazy over there. Pissed on the hornet's nest now.
