Such lack in patience... I don't feel it as strongly since I live higher north, go canada. In any case. From what I can tell, in the worse of situations people often reveal their truer selves, wether it is to aid another in compassion and virtue, or to revel in one's own needs of survival through whatever needs necessary.

In a place like the US, I'd imagine that the later is more powerful then the earlier, sadly enough though. From what I hear and also from what I've learned of how things work in the US, I'm frankly not too surprised...

It's quite sad too, how we as humans, need to be shown something of such great magnitude to finally wish for an end to violence or to aid one another, or to start to try and make the world we live in safer or a better place. We always need that painful push before we jump into action. What was that phrase I saw somewhere, all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing, something along those lines.

Oh yes, don't jump to conclusions on other people's posts please, I refer to the earlier mention of someone being racist, the comment had nothing to do with races simply rather to the lack of inhibition or the rage of a mob that would take it out on looters, something of the sort. Before you comment on something, first analyze the situation and identify it with wether or not it is what you believe, or what they are trying to convey.

I believe I spoke too much... I may sound somewhat impartial, and truthfully I am, but human lives should never be ignored nor should it be taken for granted... But all I can do up here is hope for the best, wether I worry myself into an ulcer or not will not change how things are going down there. I cannot do anything since I'm rather financially down and am busy with my studies, but others can do what they can, support in whatever form, even encouragement, I'm quite sure, are more then welcome in these times of despair.

But like with the president, it's nice to complain about it, but best is to act upon it. After all, one's actions speaks louder then words... On that note, I really need to shut up and start doing something more constructive... Sorry for my bad habit and I wonder if I'm posting too much on one shot.
