today is black friday. some go shopping at 3am for fun. others because they are slightly crazy. others........
did you here this story today?
i was shocked. appalled. outraged. disgusted. shocked. [yes - i realize i said it twice but that's how shocked i was]
how fucking insane were these people? it's a fucking wal-mart. wal-mart people. i mean - you shouldn't be going into a store like that to begin with but to go in with such force that you not only tear a door off it's hinges but you trample a man to death!!???
and not only this - when paramedics were attempting to save the man (once someone actually noticed he'd been trampled) people didn't even stop to notice. they were still rushing past to get those incredible savings.
how fucking pathetic is our country. i'm ashamed.
okay. i'm more than upset now. i'm getting serioulsy pissed off.
the united states would like to isolate russia for not abiding by the cease fire agreement in it's recognition of south ossetia's and abkhazian's independence. also - and most importantly (in their minds) invading georgia.
hello! does no one see how fucking absurd this is? georgia invaded south ossetia! russia reacted in an effort to protect the people of south ossetia. what is so hard to understand about this?
today putin claimed that the united states orchastrated this whole ordeal - as in they were behind georgia's attack on south ossetia. he claims they did this to give an advantage to a certain presidential candidate. i don't know about this last part but as soon as i heard of this mess i thought about the first thing he said - and i wouldn't put something like that past our government i'm sorry to say.
agh! what does our government not understand about the fact that we basically have no fucking miliatry to spare right now? what do they not understand about russia having a valid point? i am just shocked that no one in the higher ups (unless i'm missing it somewhere) is against this isolation of russia. do they not understand what a horrid idea this is? oh wait - the bush administration doesn't think. at all.
am i alone here? is anyone else worried about this? i wish i knew some way to get involved...it's bothering me that much.....UPDATE: i changed my mind. perhaps putin is right about this giving an advantage to a certain presidential candidate. by creating this whole mess with russia it brings back that sense of fear that the republicans have been oh-so-fond of using these past eight years. so is this a ploy to keep their control of the white house? i would not put it past them......
just changed my playlist again - god how i love the oldies :)
i worked with a guard yesterday who - when i mentioned oldies - made this gagging noise. i was shocked. i then asked him - as i do a lot of people upon meeting them - if he at least liked the beatles. he stared at me blankly. i asked him if even knew any of the beatles and he slowly replied 'john lennnnnooon...i think'. dear god in heaven - what is happening to the youth? i'll give you not liking their music but to not even know them?? no excuse - bad parenting. sigh......
but...i do work with another guard who upon realizing we liked the same type of music mentioned that i chose my first university based on a CSNY (if you don't know this band shame on you) song (and yes - i chose my place of higher education based on a rock and roll band - but it was very history related). he knew right away - Kent State and the song was Ohio. and this guard was younger than the dumb one - so there is hope out there i suppose......
