| Iran in the Crosshairs | ||
Bush and Blair, always best of friends, have wanted to attack Iran for some time now. Right now they with the detainee crisis have what is likely the best excuse for such an attack they're going to get, short of Iran actually developing a nuclear bomb. The political powers of both Bush and Blair have been waning for some time and if they can't get get the political capitol together to attack Iran now, they likely never will. That is far from saying they won't be able get the political capitol together to attack Iran: it's now or never and that makes for dangerous tinder. | ||

| Bad | ||
North Korea has successfully tested the bomb and Kim Jong Il is the kind of person who just might actually do scorched earth. MAD is meaningless. This is bad. Very very bad. I don't know how this is going to play out or who will suffer, but people are going to die. | ||

| Hell on Earth | ||
Do we really need a hell? Isn't Earth enough? This world seems set up solely to maximize the suffering of its inhabitants. I see the evil that people work. I see the evil that I have worked. Everyone is guilty. People are not moral creatures. They never were. Sometimes we pretend. We like to think that we our good outweighs are evil. Claim to have some sort of "moral foundation". But moral foundations just become a justifications for other evil works. Humans aren't the only players here, Nature is a extremely evil bitch on her own. The wild is not some sort of paradise. Most of the animals in the forest have been completely traumatised and terrified. Horrible things routinely happen to everyone in the wild. Life is short, swift, painful, and brutal. Suffering comes to all. Is there a point to this? Is there a reason or a point to this world, to this existence. If there is somewhere such a reason, it had better be a pretty damn good one. Any entity or entities that caused this to be have some serious explaining to do. Sure good things happen now and again, but they only serve to get hopes up so it will be that much more devastated when everything comes crashing down. The best thing that could happen for Earth would be it's destruction. An large enough asteroid to obliterate all life would nice. Maybe we can just nuke the hell out of ourselves. Will the end come anytime soon? Will Kevorkian save our souls? I do not know, but I can hope. | ||

| Beverly Fucks New Years | ||
I couldn't get motivated to get ready for Thom's party. I was depressed and having visions of terrorist nuclear bombs going off over Boston and New York during the celebrations. Then the room turned a redish hue for a while and I couldn't move and I was scared. I'm totally nuts. Well, as a result, we're staying home for the New Year. I feel horrible. It's all my fault Lake missed the party. If I weren't trying to spend time with Lake to make up for screwing up the party, I'd probably be slicing myself for doing so. I know I deserve it. I hate myself. | ||
