Ok, this is a long somewhat incoherent rant about my view of the global events today. I mean I really ramble along... i probably shouldnt have posted anything. Anyway, here I go. The only real effect terrorism has had on my life so far is that I have to prove I am not a terrorist at the airport. I choose to pay attention and try to know what is going on outside the safety of my surroundings that are protected by soldiers because I feel turning away and ignoring outrageous crimes being committed against innocent people somehow enables these monsters until it comes knocking at my door. Is that what we do as Americans now? Are we just waiting to be punched in the face so that we can justly react? Do we sit there and watch a brutal person do horrible things to complete strangers and turn a blind eye until that brutal person takes aim at us? The strangest part of the genocidal maniacs, the trigger happy idiots who shot down a commercial airliner, and this giant piece of garbage that is cutting peoples heads off on a stage in some desert for me is that I dont get to discuss these events with anyone. A lot of that is because I dont see the wife very much anymore and when I do we dont waste the time discussing this crap. I get my son to school, I hope for his safe school experience, and I come home to work here all by myself with my dumb brain going on about what I learn is happening in the world. I feel I am a very odd person. I will explain. I remember seeing some kids fight at my high school. I remember seeing kids form up around these two guys while they just go at it, they were really hurting one another. I remember seeing one of the kids coat being ripped off of him and stepped on during the scuffle. I felt bad because of his property being ruined. Dont get me wrong, I didnt like seeing the violence at hand but in my mind these guys werent going to kill each other and most injuries heal, but the coat. I thought to myself what if someone bought him that coat and it was the only one he had for the winter. Now its all messed up. I am standing here feeling some sort of empathy toward this kid for when this dust up settles while other kids are just rooting for one kid to beat the tar out of the other. When the fight was over I helped pick up some stuff to hand to the staff that was breaking up the situation, taking great care not to destroy any stuff more than it was. I reflect on that often because I wonder why I wasnt more like the people who were just cheering on the fight. Now I see these people who lost everything and are running for their lives while groups make these decisions to either place them in harms way or even target these people for not believing the way they do, and its all just horrible to me, and I have nowhere to put those feelings, so I am putting them here. In the military and even the fire service a term went around that we hope for the best but train for the worst. How much worse are we going to let it get? I never liked watching fights like boxing or UFC, I think mainly because I dont know who the bad guy is. In these world events though, it is clear who the bad guys are and I really want to see them hurt so bad they reconsider what they are doing or die. I am tired of evil people and the world letting evil people exist. Like I said, I have no one to chat up about this crap so I put it here. -end rant.
