Wicked Wanderings: 03/01/2004

An old Indian Grandfather said to his grandson who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice.

"Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued...

"It is as if there are two wolves inside me; One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way. He saves all his energy for the right fight.

But the other wolf, ahhh!

He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked...

"Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather smiled and quietly said...

"The one I feed."

I find this disturbing. What the hell are they carrying that we need to build in a robotic skeleton? This is a waste of our tax dollars. Just blow the enemy up with all those bombs we have.

Local & State: 3 Lely students charged in plot - Update to my Rant

Local & State: 3 Lely students charged in plot

By the way, there were no, I repeat, NO explosives or weapons found. They were only plotting and they were caught talking about it. Shit, I'd still be in prison today for some of the things I said in high school.

Ok, so I hear some of you saying, but...what if they had gone through with it? Kids would have died, etc., etc. Again no weapons were found, nor did they have access to them. These kids are facing charges with sentencing for up to 15 years...and you know why? Because of the Patriot Act and the provision in it about conspiring to commit terroistic acts.

I still think things like this could be avoided, if the rest of this country would just wake up and smell the crap they've been stewing in, because a few out of 270 million Americans, does something bad and we have to go restricting everyone's rights. (I have better chances of winning the lottery!) dang it. Since I seem to be in one of the less fortunate minorities, (I's poor!), maybe I should take up a cause and see if I can change the world for better...any ideas? I don't wanna blow anything up, though that would have the most possibilities of becoming known...nah. I wanna do good.

Enough for a while. Things to do.

You know, it's comments like these that made me wanna blow my highschool up. What the hell is wrong with people? Because they aren't strapping young jocks or have parents that actually taught them how to eat a healthy diet, it's open fire on on the freak? This is the type of thing that makes me hate being an American. They all say it's about the freedom, but one has to realize that with that freedom comes a need to be a compassionate human being and tolerant of differences.

We may all need food and water to survive, but every experience adds to the taprestry of our souls. How dare people make fun of kids, w/o knowing the circumstances. How many times was I spit on because I wasn't skinny and wore the latest trend. How many times was I called a freak because of the clothes I wore or the color of my hair? This pisses me off more and more. Maybe y'all should take a look at the kids in black. They're rebelling. and they're angry with the world, for whatever reason. Possibility they are intelligent enough to see how F'ed up things really are. That we're all wrong. That authorities and society have been cheating them, f'ing them up the ass for all these years.

So there's my rant for the day. Find a freak and hug them, or smile at them. Show them the there is hope in hummanity. And tell them a freak told you to love them, for her.
