Just thinking--
Besides, what is the point of complaining about the weather? Is anyone going to do something about it? Someone going to invent a weather machine? I wonder how much dough you could make if you could make the weather do what you want? Could you make it rain in one place and then if they didn't pay up would you make another place have a drought? One ski resort gets lots of snow and the other one that didn't pay the right price would get nothing? It would probably work fine unless the federal government got involved in which case they would probably give the franchise away to some big business and we would be gouged out of our minds.
On a lighter note...I have been watching the news at lunch and reading about the Mideast and my opinion is, fuck em'. Let them kill each other. People are all upset about Israel's response; killing so-called innocent victims and non-combatants. I say they should be commended for the restraint. If there were Mexicans lobbing rockets into the U.S. do you think that we would have one iota of thought about turning Tijuana into a parking lot? I don't. And if there were people who have reservations well, you really need to shut the fuck up. I am getting seriously tired of these people who advocate restraint. I believe that you should should never start a fight, but if you find yourself in one you need to end it as soon as possible. Israel needs to carpet bomb with Napalm Southern Lebanon and them turn it's focus on Syria. The war is coming ladies and gentleman and we are ill prepared to fight it. One day some Muslim country is going to get to the point where they are going to decide it is time to roll into Israel. Do you think that they won't kill innocent women and children? Are these rockets being fired into Israel only hitting military targets? Bet your ass they ain't.
The truth of the matter is that sometimes in a war, you have to totally destroy you enemies ability to ever make war on you again if you want to win that war. That is something that the United States was prepared to do during WWII. I think that is something that Israel might be prepared to do if it ever came down to it. If it comes down to killing women and children, old and young, and the destruction of Israel, can you blame them for choosing to survive? I don't.
War is never pretty. It is never clean. It should not be thought of that way and yet constantly the news and politicians talk as if you can have a war where no one gets hurt. That is not possible. I honestly don't care if every Iraqi is killed and the oil fields are drained if it protects this country. Is that brutal, immoral, just wrong? I don't know. I do know that sending our children over to foreign countries for murky reasons or back-room deals between giant corporations is more wrong.
So I don't fault Israel for accidently killing some "civilians". If the guerrillas are going to hide behind human shield then sometimes this kind of thing is going to happen. I just have the feeling that this is just the start of something bigger over there. World War III? That I don't know and I hope not. But people in that part of the world have been killing each other for a long long time and I don't see it ending any time soon.
Ok, I guess I got serious there but this stuff is starting to make me sick. There is very little reason in this world for these people to be killing each other. History has shown that. We live in a time when we should be beyond this stupid stuff. But we are not. It is just sad. Talk at you Laterzzz....
