YAY for race relations in the US today.
i'll spare you a long winded bert 'rant' since Caroline seemed to do a pretty good job here.
but she missed one thing...
you see those kids on the highways? how does running the WRONG WAY down a highway accomplish ANY of your goals? weaving through traffic cuz you think it may be fun? are you F'ing kidding me?
seriously... i know there was the million man march.. and lord knows i agree with the concept behind it... but one does have to wonder... how many of those people who participated knew what they were marching for. Or our protestors in LA. When young kids are "protesting" do they really understand what the fuck they're protesting?
Now... if your like me.. you think that this is just plain and simple examples of semi-amusing mob mentality. i'd go saying that 65% of these kids have no idea about whatever symbolism they are representing. but now... lets take a correllary look at what else is going on in teh world.
It's no secret. Terrorist suck. but a good percentage of the current grunt force that makes up for the bottom rung of an organization like Al Quaeda is predominantly composed of youthful middle eastern men. Our media portrays solidarity between these men and the organizations they represent. But i think differently. I think they have no idea what they are "fighting" for. They are just caught up in the mob. They are our versions of the LA Mobs that are "protesting" in the streets.
Only they (the terrorists) get to use semi-automatic weapons.
