Has it always been like this?
There's trouble in the world today. And yesterday, too, and also the day before that, I suspect. But today, it seems worse than ever. What we have cooking today, in the big cauldron of international politics, has a distinctly foul stench about it. The intensity of the tension in our world was highlighted in the last few days by the speed and depth of the Muslim reaction to the 'Mohammed' cartoons. I don't think that a similar article in the Danish press would have set off such a serious reaction as the burning of Danish embassies in multiple Islamic countries if it had been printed five years ago; people are becoming increasingly trigger-happy with their hate. Is this a sign of the times? Our zeitgheist even? If instead of reality it were a drink, it might go something like equal parts hate, greed, ignorance, and pride, with religion to taste. And this would be a drink that is impossible to abstain from unless not one person wishes to drink of it, and rather than get you drunk, it kills you. Bottoms up, kiddos.

I'll be visiting UCSF in the coming weekend, and it couldn't come at a better time than at the end of week 5, midpoint of winter term. My chances of picking up some UV while enroute above the cloud layer are pretty good. I may have to dust off my digital camera for this one, and if everything goes according to plan I'll be back with photographic proof of the rodeo in Oakland, and plans for years 23 and beyond. The bay is not quite Bulgaria or Ecuador, but I still might get plowed or hear that Tom Cruise is gay.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
9:42 PMFinally watched it. The best part was THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS BELIEVE.
Am confused about your last statement, but maybe not as confused as you.
