OT: Free speech?

[Atrocities]

For me, all I want is to know that my family is safe, that the world is at peace, terrorism is no longer the tool of trade for those who want to get their own way, and food and gas aplenty.

I want enough money to live comfortably, and feel safe when I travel abroad and live without the fear that the FBI or other will come crashing into my home because of some computer glitch that identified me as a threat.

To walk through an airport and get on a plane without sweating the security checks, or being blown up in flight or flown into a building by crazy mad men.

I would love to live in a world where we all just focused upon making each others lives better, expanding our understanding of the planet and the universe while working toward the common goal of exploring the unknown abyss of space.

A planet where religion and people respected each other enought to never fight again over petty doctrains of idology and fear.

A planet where I am free to express my opinion, own a gun, drive a car, eat pizza, poop in the woods, fish, hunt, watch tv, play video games, take picutes, and travel from state to state without the fear of someone attempting to take those things away from me.

Image what a world like that would be like. No wars, no famons, no violence, just one big happy planet working toward the common goal of bettering each others lives while expanding our own.

But we don't live in that world, ours is filled with power hungry mad men, corprate jugernoughts out to deforest the planet and enslave the population, religious zeolots who think that God want them to kill inocent children by blowing up school busses and train stations. That the road to salvation lays through atrocities against humanity and that toppling a building full of people is how to earn your passage into heaven.

I hate the violence that is so rampant throught the world where one must kill in order to survive or to feed ones family. Have we not out grown this manality of beat they neighbor into oblivion over petty crap?

If Jesus walked the earth today he would most likely not be a yuppie driving a Hummer while talking on his cell phone to his theorpist, he would be, I think, a poor man working his life away trying to make thing better for those around him. Hey wait a minute; isn't that what most of us are doing? I am a firm believer that all of the planets hardships are caused by only a small percent of the people who live on it. The rest of us just want to live and let live.

War is bad, very bad, and I pray that the one we are in now ends soon.
