Boys Will Be Boys... Bombs Will Be Bombs

Is there anything more fatal than the human ego? We just always gotta believe we're the good guys. So we build bombs and other goodies to blow up the "bad guys". Then, ya know, we gotta find a reason to use them. "Five hundred years ago your ancestor spit on my ancestor!" "You look at me funny I kill your ass!" "Hey, nice oil!" The reasons are really immaterial, just so long as we get to kick some ass!

Here's the strange, twisted tale to date as I see it: See, you had some Darkies move into Whitie's neighborhood. Now, no matter what Darkie might do, Whitie ain't NEVER gonna be right wit dat. Problem is, them there Darkies all know karate and shit and every time Whitie tries to kick them out they gets their white asses beat! It even got to the point where some of the Whities was given up da ghost.

But dem Whities in da hoods wasn't down wit dat. So they took the car of one of them pussy pacifist neighbors, rammed it into Darkie's house and ran like hell. Ooooh, Darkie was some pissed off boys! They couldn't find who done drove dat car so they wents to tearing up the house the car came from. Better 'n' nothin', they figgers. But now you got them pacifist neighbors mad as a hornet and everyone pointing at Darkie saying what assholes they is. Funny, huh!

There's a lot of hand wringing going on about those fun loving boys in the Middle East. Think I ought to go over and chant "Give Peace a Chance"? (Would love to if only to listen to all the "outrage" over my "misguided" efforts. Man, would that be funny!) Well, it's not like we were on the path to world peace before all this started. Didn't they know papers got signed saying everything would be OK? Oh yeah, papers mean nothing. What's in the human heart means everything.

I hear talk of "assessing blame" and "inappropriate action" and which side is right and which side is wrong and a bunch of other hooey. Does anyone really think problems are being solved by these killings? Truth is there are only two sides involved here: those who want war and those who want peace. Pick your poison but remember: We can work it out!
