Subject: Australia=America? I hope not.
I was just looking around on some Australian homepages and it amazes me
about how much stuff deals with American society. Such as surgeon general,
TV (about 80% of the shows and channels that I saw were American), movies (I
only saw 4 original Australian films...the rest were American), music (a lot
of the music that I saw was American, but you do have a lot of Australian
music to go with, etc.

I sure as hell hope that the homies that you describe truly don't turn into
our wanna-be homies. Wanna-be homies want to be like the real thing so they
take everything so seriously when it comes to gangs and that usually ends up
getting people killed or hurt. That's one thing about Americanization that
I do not like--our violence being flown, bussed, shipped, and sent to other
countries. This world has enough problems, why should we Americans add to them?

vee: we have wanna bee homies. Except becoz of our gun laws on automatic and semi-automatic weapons tightening. They use knives NOT guns. But they have this one thing:
a grudge against skegs.[SKEGS-surfies, surfers.] Dunno why. But they do. It's soo stupid!

I hope that Australia gets a hold of its self before it's too late. I would
hate to see such a great country turn into the next US of A.

Well that's my political rhetoric for the day, I am outta here!!

Subject: Well isn't this country great...

Sometimes, I love this country alot. Tonight is not the time for me to love it.
In the past 8 days, 2 suspected bombs have allegedly gone off. One was allegedly during TWA Flight 800 which killed all 230 passengers and crew aboard. The other happened about 5 hours ago when someone deposited a small bag near a sound tower at the Centennial Gardens in Atlanta. One person was confirmed dead the last time I checked which was about 15 minutes ago.
This country is going to hell!!!!!!
I love this country, but not the senseless terrorism and pansy bullshit that people pull. If people truly have a bone to pick with our government, why do they take the easy way out? Do they think it makes them heroes? Are they heroes to some? Not to me and not to a lot of other people that I know. But to some, those that commit crimes against our government and try to spread anarchist bullshit are heroes with almost God-like stature.
This sickens me. I have seen enough Deavid Koresh, Oklahoma City, Idaho Freemen, Arizona Vipers, Unabomber, TWA Flight 800, and now Olympic Centennial Gardens media stories for the rest of my life.
As I have seen as much as I can see on the TV and seen a lot on the Internet, I wonder if all this media hype and media blitzing only adds to the 'thrill' of endangering civilian lives. Not only civilian lives but the lives of the innocent who are only trying to have a good time.
I just have to ask myself, what is this world coming to?
Perhaps hell, perhaps the second-coming of Christ.....who knows?
That's my news to report for the day....good day.
