I with that politics had little impact on my life, but truthfully when I watch something on the news I have to become emotional towards it. This excludes many things of course - I'm referring to only the things I care passionately about. Dad asked me what I thought about Russia invading Georgia and I told him that it's horrible that people are being bombed. And he followed it with asking me if we should go in and help. I responded once again, but this time telling him that I haven't researched into the matter entirely yet. I did mention that Bush telling Russia "no, no," with a wag of the finger is a little harsh. By heart, I'm a pacifist. I say that I could never get into a fight, but if someone hit my mother or girlfriend, I would handle the matter in a not-so peaceful route, which kinda defies my character, but what would you do? Anyways, I don't believe anyone should bomb period, but America really cannot talk. I mean, if we do interfere, the reasons behind it would be for making Bush look like he did something right before leaving office. I did read an article that suggests Bush has a conflict of interest, because he has a lot of money tied to the oil that's coming from the pipeline that's running under Georgia and that there are three places which the pipeline ends: the Caspian Sea, Iran and Turkey. It's all very interesting. I wish I knew my history a lot better. I'm hearing people saying this might escalate into another Cold War. My response: Well, it's not so cold outside.
On the Obama trail: more people still hate him for the color of his skin. You know, I think I've finally had it with these racist americans. I do not capitalize for the very reason I don't believe they are (A)mericans. I began thinking that I shouldn't let intolerant FOLKS get me down, but I sort of believe that it's not Obama that doesn't have the experience to rule America, it's America who doesn't have the experience to let a black man rule America. Many people tell me it's just the south acting this way, but in the long run, I think there are a lot more racist people covering up their unjustly and loathsome reasons with excuses like "he doesn't have enough experience." Here's a clip of Obama handling a bunch of heckler's in the crowd while trying to give a speech. I think he handles it decently:
Here's how George Carlin handled a heckler. I think Obama should do this if he continues having more hecklers:
In lieu of that, I think people should be more honest. This is what pisses me off: yes, you do have a right to protest, but take for instance the episode on Bill Maher, there's a place to do it and a place not to do it. I mean, protesting while Obama is giving a speech. I feel the same way about the protesters during McCain's speeches as well. This is just an opportunity for loudmouth people striving for attention, not the cause but themselves, to parade on television. Well, I'm all tapped out for the night. I think Carlin said it all.
