Once you do a thing... it becomes easy to repeat it


Can you believe that we have arrived at a place where American’s are advocating the use of torture by interrogators to get information out of prisoners?
We should all be clear that no matter what their political grouping, or philosophical beliefs they are Americans.
John McCain has had experience on one side of the experience, but what about the other side?
Doesn’t the act of torturing a fellow human being take something valuable away from the torturer?
Won’t the world think less of America (if that is possible) if we begin to do things that we have said we would stand against?
These are questions we must ask before we allow this type of thing to go on.
Before we allow the still yet to be realised dream of building a better society for all Americans to die, we had better be damn sure that the world that will follow the death of that goal is one we would want to live in.

Take Me Away!

Theres always a lot of talk about what we deserve... or don't deserve much "damn... I didn't deserve that" or "What did I do to deserve this?" But I think the real point lies in the idea that for some reason we tend to believe that the universe (for lack of a better term) has some interest in what happens to us.

If I trip and fall in the path of an oncoming tram will the universe, god, buddha or the tooth fairy send a card to my mom to say " That was just fucked up what happened to your boy... we all regret it and hope you get over it soon." I think not. The fact is that in the grand scheme none of us matter much ... and that's ok. Because we never did. I wonder when mankind got the idea that we are the lynch pin of the universe? Sure for a long time we believed we were the centre of it all but that was pure igno...

Human suffering

Why does is so much time on TV and in Film devoted to human suffering? Don't get me wrong We need to know when our fellow humans are in distress... But to just observe these horrors and not help is just wrong. To actually help should be the goal behind showing these things... Not charity, or sympathy but involvement. How can it be justified by news agencies to spend millions upon millions to "cover" a horrible event and nothing to help? Let's just put away that notion of "journalistic integrity" if it ever existed at all it is surely long dead now. News bringer have long ago crossed the line and become news makers, so why not do some good? Not theoretical good but real good... I mean they are there at the scene, with little to do but rehash a story over and over. As for film... We all know that the budget for one "blockbuster" film could solve a lot of the world's problems. You say they are helping ... Through their story telling? Well that w...
