yo man you bring up some interesting ideas. Honestly, my political knowledge has a few too many holes in it (or alteast thats how I feel) to really put something down that strait forward. However, I completely agree in terms of katrina. The shit that happened there front to back was all kinds of wrong.
But either way, you have written about katrina before. If you really consider yourself a murderer because of inaction, then go take action. There are countless spring break programs that send you down there to help with the aid down there. Im sure there are some that run even longer (like summer or something). I knew someone from an old class who did that last spring. If this really is wieghing so heavily on you, then perhaps its time to burst your own bubble of a comfort zone and get the fuck off your ass and do something. So seriously man, ask yourself this, would you rather be sitting on livejournal talking about it while you are playing mario kart in your basement during the summer, or would you rather write something when you get back saying how you made a diffrence in other peoples lives. And when it comes down to it man, you cannot stop big gov'ts with things like this unless there is a whole unified people around it (civil rights movement) not just a bunch of musicians and college students signing about what they want (hippies) even if it is a good idea. But, my friend, what you can do is change peoples lives on an individual basis by doing something like that. Dont undermind what that can do, because its greater than what anyone ever gives it credit for.
i would much rather be on livejournal and in a basement....which is fucked up but true. but thats my point i'm as guilty as anyone for not caring.
i really do wish i had the will to make big things happen, but just liek anyone i'm without direction and motivation you know. its a tragedy because everyone thinks the same wya i do and i wish that wasn't the case.
yo man a little change makes all the diffrence. You throw a rock into a middle of a lake you get small ripples, but eventually it will encompass the whole lake.
