Oct. 7th, 2001 04:53 pmI am disgusted. Sickened. Actually, I think America could be completely wiped off the face of the Earth and I would cheer.
I shouldn't be home right now.
But it was either that, or stay at Archon where people were celebrating the loss of life that was caused by bombs which fell this morning.
Not that the bombs were unwarranted, or a bad idea.
After all, they started it.
Yes. We left being children behind on the playgrounds. But Junior High "I hate you!" tactics are the way to run world countries.
And us dancing in the hallways and cheering the bombings on is different than little kids who don't know shit cheering and celebrating the WTC/Pentagon crashes.
I mean, hey, after all, THEY started it.
And they're not like us, not at all. They're a different religion, or they're a different colour, or they just dress or walk a different way.
They don't laugh and love and get jealous and frustrated and giggle at stupid lewd jokes. Nope. 'Cause they're not like us.
They don't live every day not caring about their fellow humans.
Quite obviously, America cares. After all, I never see children or homeless people starving in the streets. And everyone has a job. Which they love. And the minimum wage? It's high enough that cost of living can be met. There's no need for police, 'cause, hey, we're all model citizens.
And rape and child abuse? Don't happen. In fact, they're a myth.
I am angry. We see only what we want to see.
America sees itself as Above It All.
America is blind.
