war transforms people into monsters
i've come to this conclusion after hearing a conversation a couple rows over from where i sit. somehow these three guys get into a conversation about the war in Iraq and how the one guy that was there had "rage" issues when he came back because he would get violent anytime he heard or saw someone middle eastern. then this jackass starts bragging about shooting a 7 yr old kid. at about this moment i'm starting to get a little offended. he starts talking about how he tried firing a warning shot at a woman to scare her off and accidentally shooting her in the head, but he laughs about it like some crazy maniacal killer. i'm so appalled at this point that i'm afraid if i stand up to say something i'll end up on a rampage and get myself escorted out. so i sit here and write it in my journal instead. i am saddened beyond words right now.
