ignorance and fear
have had far longer to take root
than science and reason
which are relative newcomers
to the fray

don't think about it

sometimes you just have to go for it...

My 2 cents/DNR

I usually give my views less overtly and more indirectly that this, but the current conversations in media and societies that I monitor are escalated beyond reason toward ignorance, arrogance and shouting...

abortion is not great but it's her choice
gay marriage is not going to harm heterosexual marriages
euthanasia is not pleasant but ends suffering
drugs can be addictive and harmful, but so are alcohol and tobacco

let people have their own opinion
people should be able to decide for themselves
as long as their descison does not harm others
we should pretty much get to please ourselves
theres no excuse for discrimination
don't try to tell me God's opinion
I don't think he would appreciate your tone
stop telling others what to do

"the figure at the center of the drama whose fall from grace earlier this year plunged into disarray the party's plans for a smooth reshuffle of is top leaders"

"the elephant in the room that this entire press release is dancing around—they clearly don't want to imply his culpability in this"

"China’s leaders have also tried to ring-fence the scandal, presenting it as the solitary case of an errant senior official."

Mass shooting, proxy war

assassination, holocaust

Vietnam, J.F.K

World War II, M.L.K

Woodstock, Watergate

Cover-up, motorcade

Abdication, renegade

abortion clinic, hand grenade

Freedom fighter, terror raid

genocide, space race

9-11, Middle-East

religious clash, R.P.G

Suicide pact, W.M.D

AK-47, Wiki-leak

Israel, Palestine

Iron Curtain, Breadline

Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia

local conflict, deadly drama

Nepotism, abuse of power

trade dispute, napalm shower

Mates rate, space dust

date rapes, fake lust
