...every day it's always something...the war in the middle east (or should I say wars?), children being kidknapped or found dead, children killed by one of their parents or a parent's significant other, children dying in a backyard pool, snipers on the highway, racial and homophobic prejudices, crooked or immoral or just plain stupid politicians, animal abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, gangs and your all around BAD people....and some people wonder why I love a good scary movie...

...at least mine isn't real. Nothing in Hollywood can be as bad as the real life pieces of shit that are let loose in our society. I am not a religious person, but you have to wonder if maybe a higher power isn't tired of it, too. Of course, Mother Nature has always taken care of herself; she always has the last laugh, and quite frankly, we may be the next big extinction. Hell, the dinosaurs didn't kill each other over religious and sexual beliefs. They didn't carry around the Dino Bible and preach to the others that it was wrong to do this and bad to do that.

...let's face it...man as a species isn't as intelligent as we'd like to think. If we're so intelligent, why do we squabble over petty bull shit, fuck up the world around us, and treat our fellow human beings as garbage? Why do we use God or whatever you call Him as an excuse for our self-righteous beliefs? We hate...we destroy...we ruin beyond repair.

...remember 9/11? I remember how, at least for a while, everyone seemed nice to each other. To see how people came together, dropped everything and ran to help, was unbelievable. But weeks went by, and we went back to our usual cruelties and greedy ambitions.

...the space shuttle program and the search for other life is an important thing we need to keep working on. We are ruining our planet, and we may need to find another. Plus the fact that there HAS to be other intelligent life out there...it's just too self-centered to believe we are the only ones. But I wouldn't be surprised if they've decided against us...we are dangerous to ourselves, much less someone else.
