ok, let me clarify one thing first. i am NOT anti-american. true, my last 2 post was blasting at the US, but not the US in general. more specifically, its the bush administration. so if u r a bush supporter, please don't read this, send me hate-mail afterwards... just stop right now, and go sulk at the corner. i just cant seem to understand him. not one bit. first, there iraq, and the whole conspiracy about attacking iraq coming up even before 9/11 and heck, even during the clinton time. true.. saddam is the asshole everyone hates. well, not everyone, i guess, otherwise, where would saddam get his support from? anyway, what i don't agree on, is bush getting his hands into foreign affairs, i.e, Iraq, when he could actually spend his time focusing on america. its not like america is the perfect place to live in. there is still crime, there is still unemployment, the economy is getting worse... bla bla. so why not, focus on the US? hell, with the budget u allocated on the war in Iraq, and the matter of afghanistan, you could've made a big big difference in US. and now
this. imagine if u just allocated HALF the budget to focus on recovering the economy, fighting diseases and other advancements, wouldnt it be better? heck, cancer and AIDS funding could use a boost, the US economy could be helped. and if u r so keen on sending cannon fodder into Iraq just to get blown to bits by bombers, why not just use them as human guinea pigs for medical experiments? (ok, i know this isnt the most ethical thing to do, i dont agree on it either, but hey, it beats dying for a lost cause in Iraq)
what..? Iraq isnt enough, that now u have to conquer space instead? its just a waste of money to show superiority. wanna show the states is big and bad? cure cancer. get rid of AIDS. do something useful to mankind. science doesnt need to know about space when u dont know ur own goddamned planet well enough. hell yea, if u think cancer and AIDS is too far fetched, why not go into Mad Cow disease and SARS? not like your citizens are unaffected by those. (maybe not SARS, but Mad Cow definitely) let the world remember President George W. Bush as the guy that helped cure cancer. this is a race where theres no number 2. unlike space exploration, yea, you could say... bush made US the first to Mars, but heck, theres probably gonna remember the 2nd one there, and the 3rd. but if u cure cancer, it cuts there. end of line, end of race. why would people bother saying, yeah.... france was 2nd in discovering the cure to cancer? no one will bother, right?
i don't know if many of you argee with me, but this is my own humble and honest opinion. bush is in desperate need of a head check. he needs his ego pop-ed. he needs to go out, take a look around the place, and think "everyone around me is dying from illness, or crime. hey, why not i just fix those? more lives will be saved then!" instead of thinking "hey! if i save Iraqi lives instead of Americans and the rest of the world, i might get revoted in the next election. and after that, i can sit comfortable in my chair in the White House, and decide that North Korean is annoying, bomb the hell out of them, before deciding that Cuba has been bad, and bomb the hell out of them."
alrighty then, thats my two cents on this, i need to study now. lets just hope someone in the administration doesnt start thinking "hey... this Derek guy, he's dangerous, instilling such feelings against Bush. maybe i'll get the president to sign some papers making derek a terrorist, and plotting against the president. i'll probably get a promotion for finding this blog, and derek can live off the next 100 years of his life in a maximum security prison. assuming he can manage to live another 100 years, given he'll probably be ass-raped in our miserable prisons, tortured by the wardens, and might die of cancer in 50 years instead." knock wood, i really do hope that doesnt happen. i'm just saying whats on my mind anyway. i think its freedom of speech, errmmm.. first amendment, if i am not wrong.
gawd, i should be studying instead of talking about things that doesnt affect me
