Today's Quote: I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. Kahlil Gibran
So... I'm on the train yesterday to work, and a guy gets on and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas. That's very friendly. However... as the trip continues, he begins to get louder and more abraisive, even threatening people and swearing. There were small children on the train. So, I'm wondering if the guy is drunk or crazy or what. However, I also noticed that every time the train pulled into a station and the doors opened he got quiet and waited until people were on the train before resuming his ranting. So maybe he was neither drunk nor crazy.
Would you do that? If you knew nobody would call the police or anything, would you like to, every once in a while, just be completely crazy. Announce your beliefs and ideas at the top of your lungs for the world to hear, whether they wanted to or not. I suppose that's kind of what I'm doing here, however if you don't want to read this you can leave with the click of a mouse. Hmm? So... Tell me... if you were going to get on a crowded train and announce something, what would you say?
remind people that letting somebody else make your decisions for you is a bad idea... hence representative democracy breeds complacency, stagnance, and weakness in our country. And I would tell them that America needs to become imperialist. Annex Mexico, Canada, cuba, and puerto rico and then start on a couple of farther-reaching goals such as the entire middle-east.
