death

Ever notice how cemetarys are made out to be so scary in movies and cartoons? How society is so afraid of the dead coming back to life when so much of christianity is based on some guy who brought another guy back to life and then later himself? Crazy double standards...

hmmmfff

Im too conservative for college...Is it just that Im realistic, not idealistic as everyone else my age? Have I seen enough of the world to see how things are? Have I given up on paradise on earth? Is there something wrong with me or with everyone else? I seem content to work with the system Ive been given, to make my niche in the world and to work behind the scenes, make alliances and friends to change the world subtly.

Anyway, I didnt get an email so I was able to walk around the Capitol mall, I went into the Aerospace museum, revisited some exhibits havent seen since I was 12.

America Today

Why is it almost everytime we turn on the news in this country we are bombarded with so much bad news? It seems like no one has anything to contribute but sarcasm and criticism. The few positive stories are typically dumb, cute crap, is that supposed to make me feel better? Maybe its part of the tragedy of human nature that we are grossly interested in death and suffering. It seems to me that giving of oneself is almost dead in this country. We are a nation with something like 60-70% church attendence, not to mention the jews in temples, the peace loving muslims in mosques, or the buddhists, who are probably the most peaceful people on the planet. The vast majority of people living today need to find out the beautiful feeling of loving someone else more than themselves. Stop trying to convert everyone to your views on life. To your politics, etc... Just accept them, appreciate them for the things you do like. Waste less, tell people the truth always, but always be fair
