Quote of the day:
"The good die young---because they see it's no use living if you've got to be good," John Barrymore


Thought of the day:
If it's one thing being raised in a capitalist society has taught me, it is that people are greedy and self interested. While there are many charities in this country that do a lot of good work, for the most part we are spend money on ourselves. It's our right as an America damn it! But really we spend a lot needlessly to different levels of extremes. The money I spend on my satellite TV service a month could probably feed someone each month. The saddest thing is I realize this and won't cancel it tomorrow to donate to a homeless shelter. I'm more concerned with some petty bullshit like some girl or the fact that today my thought of the day is nothing new from me. I like to think I'm a nice person...a good person, but really I'm just an indifferent person.

Amanda Jane wonders-Is ti just because we are Americans? Are people on the other side of the world as petty as we are? Are they more aware of what is taken for granted by us?
