once again i'm in the middle of another peaceful day here in america. peace. what does all this war come to. here is another day that's going to be recorded in every history book ever made from this day forward. at least in america. will they talk about this war with pride as well. well the newscasters shed even a tear this time. will america shed a tear that these innocent people have been striped of their lives, and all their posessions before that. i want to know. what is it like? what's it like to have bombs in your back yard. maybe there would be some understanding if that experience existed. but not for me. freedom kicks in. we can move about freely in this country. my heart is at a standstill. my eyes search around in the hope of an answer. an answr that is skips along the lines of impossible. laying down is easy for most of us. but not for two billion other people in the world. hopefully those people have not been stripped of their wonders of imagination, creativity, dreams, hope, faith, and love. i dream of a day where peace rains across the world.

saddened. i tell people i want to get PhD. some of those i tell say, what about the money to go to school? once again money becomes a larger issue than education. this is backwards people! america is greatly dealing with this issue. we put money in front of education! sad!
the great irony of america. there is much stress of being an individual, being yourself. yet at the same time this is layered by thousands of images of image, what to be, what's hip what's not, how to act, how to walk. and when we see individuals they are often laughed at and mocked. interesting how people want to be their own, yet they stick the stereotypes and to the things are are 'in'.

Proposal A...instead of bombing, or at least in addition, lets drop the 20,000 tons of steel and cement on their land. Should America really have to deal with that rubble? Lets make use of it

technology...every day something new is being developed. what i wonder is...do we have to come out with absolutely everything thats possible? what is the rush for technology? what is the rush in america? there is so much already available to us that people don't even use potentially. it seems that whenever a new technology is available, people demand it. what is the need? can we be content with what we have? i think we can. i'm not knocking technology by any means, i love it just as much as anyone. but must we become infatuated with it? it would be nice to see people more relaxed. there is not always a need to be succeeding...there is more to life than that success and advancement. and before we can do any of that we must know where we are. how can we do that when were in such a fast pace?
