We are the wealthiest, healthiest, and happiest people who have evr lived on the face of the earth.
Why the hell are we the most hateful?
We live in paradise.
I know some of us are depressed, or have tough lives, but we don't have to watch half our kids die from ear-infections or pneumonia. We don't writhe in agony for a month before we die in a feverish delirium from a broken leg. A quarter of us don't freeze to death every winter.
But if one maniac gets enough money to blow up a pair of buildings in New York City because he believes that we are evil, we will do whatever it takes to prove him right.
President Bush, stop. We all know that Iraq has nothing to do with Al Quaeda. We all know that the only reason we are going to war with Iraq is to distract us from the fact that a conservative, religious administration in this country always produces a recession and a war. We have already lost. Bin Laden wanted to prove to the world that we will use a real enemy to justify a war for money--that we will sell our souls for cheap gas--that we will fuck the world for a dollar.
We don't need to do this. Fight Al Quaeda. They are the enemy. We don't need to make new ones.
We shouldn't be the mean little kid pulling the legs off ants.
