pomeiii 200 bc is far more relevant for our empathy than the tsunami.

dont you hate people who write all stream of consious let me write highlights/essences of my life at this moment writing like this: case race, greasy pizza in the freezing blizzard, blah blah i cant even finish the imitation its so goddam pretentious. heres a link to some examples. wait not. thats offensive. uuummm. forget about it. im just in a mean spirited mood.

i think it's because this arch arch republican just said the most crass thing in the world. he basically said giving money to tsunami aid is pointless. "its not going to bring them back" i said, its the worst natural disaster in recent history. "what about pompeii" what? what did you fucking say? POMPEII??? "more people die of gunshots in the us, why dont we spend more money on domestic issues" you're right, let's divert the 87 billion iraq fund. wait no iraq is an exception apparently. "are you saying domestic issues are less important? our people are less important?" no buddy, thats not what im saying. lets try to have an ounce of human deceny ok. im just asking for an OUNCE. to just understand basic humanity, to emphatize, to understand the magnitude and suffering of the sudden loss of over 100,000 lives. lets try that for a sec ok. pompeii. jesus christ. this is america folks. im sorry but this is a red state american. fuck we are screwed.
