Obviously I’m a history nerd in addition to being a tech one. It’s the truest expression of egalitarianism, cause people do the same thing over and over regardless of race, creed or religion.
People’re people, world around. And people’re not sane, world around.
People think that Asia didn’t have guns way back then. They did. The Japanese has it as far back as the 16th Century but they pretty much banned it around the 17th century. Which woulda been great except fast forward to March 31, 1854, when Matthew Perry (not that Matthew Perry) sailed into Japan with a crapton of guns.
Last Thursday, the Hiroshima mayor backed Obama’s call to get ridda all nuclear bombs by 2020. Which would be great if everyone was sane. They’re not.
Scarier is that these not sane people find each other and toss their not sane ideas back and forth. 1970’s Cambodia, 1930’s Germany, Saudi Arabia, North Korea – these’re whole countries with people not operating with a full deck at the helm.
Look I’m a pacifist. But the problem with most people is that they think, “Well, I wouldn’t do that.” That’s a dangerous thing to think. Cause most people don’t do what you’d do – they do what they’d do.

I came to the conclusion that I will never understand how other people minds work. Some days I don't quite get how mine does either. Haha!
hey! just left a msg on your me@ email address š your post reminded me of another friend's.
Alana – When I don't get sleep, I tend to write things. Then when I wake up and read them, I think, OK, who wrote this?YM – I read it, thanks so much for taking the time to send it to me. I read him on and off – I find that when people don't format it for readability (short sentences, broken paragraphs), I find it difficult to read.
hey! so does that mean you've read him before? how big is the blogosphere anyway? like i wonder if you've touched on everyone that journals out there at one point or another. just curious cuz i think that world is shrinking
