Well, alot of stuff has happened since my post last weekend...
Obviously, first up in terms of controversy was the death of Osama bin Laden... much publicized and much scrutinized obviously-he only was the mastermind behind one of the greatest tragedies in American history that killed over 3,000 people... I have mixed emotions about that, I'm happy that the bad karma came back to him for all that he did, but this plays into the whole war with war conflict resolution. You kill one of our people we'll get revenge and kill yours, what are we learning, if something goes wrong just to kill the offender I do not agree with that approach at all... I'm not rejoicing at what happened like so many are, Osama is only 1 person and I highly highly doubt that just cuz hes dead that terrorism will all of a sudden cease to exist... We live in a pretty messed up world as it is, the way they are acting its like they eradicated all threats period forever, a little utopic much... I actually think all thats gonna do is leave America open to MORE terrorism and attacks, isnt that what they were trying to eradicate in going after him? it makes me laugh, they seem to think that if they kill Osama then terrorism is dead altogether... And i kinda am in disbelief that it took them almost 10 yrs to actually find him, come on in this day and age really, thats an accomplishment how? Think about all those pakistani people he influenced in his time alive as leader of Al-Qaida, so now that hes dead theres all those people behind him, are they gonna go on a massive killing spree and kill them all too? Yeah thats gonna solve everything, all the problems that they are having are still gonna be there we are just gonna have a bunch of dead bodies to show for it... Apparently nobody has caught onto that yet!
And obviously we had election day for the voting... I'm neutral on this, I do believe that those who are eligible to vote and of age to do so should do so BUT I also think that people shouldnt necessarily vote just to say that they exercised their rights, doing so out of ignorance and blindly voting through hearsay or people they know or have connections to, I don't think thats right either, its like taking the cheap way out, copying someones homework just to say its done... I'm not advocating for indifference and voter apathy but if you're not politically inclined and you don't know what you're voting for, to me it does no good to vote then... granted it is our responsibility to educate ourselves about who and what we are voting for, but i think a huge reason why we have had problems with voting indifference and apathy is just that-people dont know enough about it so they figure its not worth doing or whatever and they don't vote. Indifference and apathy in voting is not good I agree, if we dont exercise our rights as a part of a democracy to have our say in the people who run the province and country when we have a chance to do so, then we might as well be communist and it would be the same thing if nobody would take the time to vote, but it remains pointless to vote for whoever seems good just for show... Hopefully the majority of people who voted did so out of knowledge and their own free will not ignorance and pressure to say that they did...
And obviously for all the mothers out there, Mother's Day is tomorrow! All you moms out there, know that you're all appreciated for who you all are and all that you do for us kids... On a personal note, my mom did a great job raising me, as a single mom to boot... Shout out to her for the job she did, the values she instilled in me as a child still stick with me to this day and I would like to think i'm a pretty decent person as a result of it... The most powerful role model of a child is the same gender parent, but moms are a big deal regardless thats why theres a special day dedicated to all of you out there... Mom I love you and wishing you and all the other mothers out there a Happy Mothers Day!
