Speechless...not

Wow, I just can't think of anything to say. I've no opinion on anything. Has it come to this? I mean...there is the whole Korean thing. I could say that we should stay out of it and let them blow each other to bits. China will emerge as the true victor and they'll still be half an Earth away. Then there's the guy that molested kids in Haiti. Nice. Well done. Burn him. Twenty years is not enough.

I could comment on the whole food poisoning claim from some Al Qaeda splinter group, but then that would just play to their "hey, we're-really-bad-guys-come-get-us" routine that is, well, a bit stale. I could pierce the whole veil of secrecy surrounding Wiki Leaks. Unfortunately, there is no veil. I hate it when that happens.

As I sit here, feeling defeated and a bit cold, I recall that much of what we do in this world is about prevention. It's about planning. Getting it just right on paper so that when we get in the field, we have anticipated the potential hot spots. Unfortunately, many of our plans involve the control and domination of others' sovereignty. So do theirs, but hey, do we really need to be the copycat country when it was the United States that invented modern, blow-your-ass-back-to-the-stone-age warfare?

I wish I had more to say.

As always, be thankful for what you have, buy only what you need, and work diligently for peace. In a state of misanthropic zeal...0kay...not really. I hope your holiday preparations are coming along nicely!
