Family Matters

Yes, one of the largest, and most dealt with issues of the world. Family. How do you deal with them? The black sheep, the money obsessed so&so, the angel, the devil, all the normal people just trying to hash out a living on the sidelines, etc.

I was thinking today, if everyone in families liked each other, or was at least mature enought to get along, can you imagine how much more of a peaceful world this would be? So much of the world's human to human violence comes through in families.

People giving up, growing cold, chasing after money like they don't have enough, blaming others, and DON'T even get me started on all those who decide to pass judgement based on who someone else in the family falls in love with! -- I mean "control freaks" NEone?

Maybe I shouldn't cast the first stone until I can ensure I am, and ever will be, guilt-free myself. Maybe I should forgive and turn the other cheek. Or maybe I can just call a spade a spade. Cause there's rarely any water more full of iron than blood, or nothing spills thicker than blood, or something. What's that cliche saying again? ;)

You get my point.

Racism: Alive and Well

One thing I do know is true.
Words can start wars. Civil wars.
Like Bill Bennet postulating on a radio show with over one million listeners about the fact that if all black children were aborted, American crime rate would go down.

So, has America found a scapegoat now? They can just blame the blacks for America's crime rate; and if their children were all aborted, the crime rate would go down. The whites like Bennet in America simply believe that they are perfect beings, and America is perfect. "Oh what's that?" they ask us; "you're starting to find fault in America, and who we are and what we do? Okay. We will deflect that bad image on those of our citizens who we believe to be inferior, and we as white Americans will still be perfect!"

This is disgusting! Bennet has just made a huge pro-Aryan comment; a huge statement that he believes the blacks are responsible for the crime rate in America. Think about what you just said, Bennet! Do you think, no matter what you meant, that this comment will go unnoticed? NO!! You're going to now have hundreds of people from all cultures demanding your head on a platter! How dare you?

Civil war.
If the American system of world domination and oppression was overthrown, that would be akin to opening a casket that is no longer guarded, and finding it full of poisionous, toxic cockroaches. Let's expose America to the world. Let the world judge America, and let humanity deal out its justice.

Who keeps you in Check, America? When you are at the top of the world, no-one has the power to tell you that you are doing something wrong. You are becoming a monopoly. You are becoming a hot-bed for hatred. The world is slowly turning against you, as you are festering in your own hatred, and passing on judgements against entire cultures, entire populations within your country.
Bill Bennet is just another voice in your choir.

BENNETT: ... one of the arguments in this book Freakonomics that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, they deal with this hypothesis, that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up. Well --
CALLER: Well, I don't think that statistic is accurate.
BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.
