Quote of the day:
"Dogs are like big, dumb buddies who never leave. They're like Lenny from Of Mice and Men, only with deadly fangs and no bowl control." from the book You Are Worthless
Thought of the day:
Yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the atom bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. For all the good things you can say about this country and there are a lot, we are the only country I know of to do such a thing. The worst thing is that I've heard we didn't really need to do it. That the Japanese were ready to surrender and we knew it, but wanted it on our terms, Not only that, but we intentionally used it on a populated area rather than just using it some place less populated as a warning. Don't get me wrong, I do love this nation, but I will not turn a blind eye to the things it has done. Nor am I some holier than thou person with such a thing. Honestly after Sept. 11th, I thought that we should have sent tapes of Hiroshima to Afghanistan saying you have 24 hour to hand over Osama. Right or wrong it would have sent a message.
Amanda Jane says: It's still really hard to compute what happened on Sept. 11, which is some thing we were alive to see and investigate. I can't imagine how all the crap went down that I wasn't alive for, or conscious. Imagine all that we can't see that is going on.
