I am frightened.

I got this off ThreeWayAction, posted at 8:00 last night:

I'm sorry [poster name], but the lives of american people are more important than the lives of palestinian/iraqi/afghanistan/ people. I'm not sure what happy little planet you live on, but on this planet called earth, freedom is won through the barrel of a gun.

These are the sentiments of ignorance. And there are a damn lot of ignorant people in American hurting and wanting to lash out. I am very very frightened.

i've got you beat.

in jewelry making this morning, this chick walks past me saying "we're going to drop a bomb on those/declare war on those pakistanis" (i'm paraphrasing) and i looked at her like, wtf, and said "palestinans. but we can't declare war on them, they're an ethnic group- " and the teacher, who was standing nearby, flipped out. she's like "okay, you want my opinion? [hal sagt: "war is bad"] yeah, it wasn't the palestinians, it was some religious fanatic in afganistan [snip long rant on bin laden, the muslim faith, and religious fanatics in general]" if i could remember it all, man, i'd post it. but i can't, algebra 2 has burned out my brain.
