Iksander, Bill Clinton had a chance to act honestly and decently, when he made a mistake. Instead he figured he could weasel his way out if it, and didn't hesitate to connive to let a young woman take the rap for him. This is just the observation of what happened, and I feel it's a reflection on the culture and direction it's heading. Just because other leaders are corrupt, which isn't good either, doesn't mean it's alright for our leaders to be corrupt. George Bush's 'good ol boys from texas' lines are a ridiculous joke. Fine if it was an episode of South Park, but not when war is an issue.
The University degree happened because I think any thing is possible. At the time I was living in a tiny remote town, and did it by correspondance. I am unashamedly stoked I passed with such recognition, under the most difficult circumstances. I'm not sorry if it makes you 'tremble', that's your problem. When I talk about University study, I now do so from genuine first hand experience. I studied Indigenous Australian studies because I live in a country brutally stolen from the world's oldest continual Culture, and I think the least I can do is fully understand and show some respect for that Culture. In the area that I live, I am in constant contact with Indigenous Australians, who are still subject to extreme racism. If Australia and the world is to prosper, the situation of Indigenous Peoples having their lands brutally stolen and Cultures brutally decimated needs to be put right. Thats what good people do. Cowards lie and connive, and that isn't the way forward.
Our countries are rightly appalled at terrorism and acts of war, yet are smugly reaping the spoils, and upholding the disposessions created by some of the most brutal wars ever. Iksander, people are appalled at observations about our cultures, such as your anger at the mention of your beloved texas, yet constantly decimate the Cultural Values of the people who's lands were brutally stolen. That doesn't sit well with me. Texas is just a creation, outside of you, separate from you, not you. No need to panic, change can be good. Technology can be a good thing. There are many good things in Indigenous Cultures lifestyles too. A way of life that is fair to all is desirable for me, and I see it as the only way that the countries and planet can be free of war. Stop automatically reacting from fear, automatacilly assuming hate. Examination can be difficult if there is a fear of change.  |
