I cannot see how people think...

Sometimes I get trapped into my own mind. I try to come to the realization that everyone has difference in opinion. Things just dont seem right when they base their ideas on a generalization of the way a particular cultural or ethnic group/race is just because they get the bulk of their information from a one sided source. This is what kills me. People tend to base their ideas and their opinions because they get sucked into it just like a vacuum. Matthews family was arguing today with eachother over political issues. I dont even get started in entering other peoples conversations, especially when they involve politics. Sometimes you just cant change peoples minds. ONe good example is when they were talking about Che Guevara. Che was a brilliant man. Not only because he raised up a group of people to fight for what they believed in, but because they were peasants who were sick of taking bullshit, laboring for our fucking needs and globalizations needs and using up their own resources for someone elses profit and gain. People like this deserve more respect than what most groups consider "Bad communistic idealists". Its aggrivating because no one ever wants to take the opportunity to read about it or know the reality of an issue. When I read about and take certain classes or learn on my own, it opens my eyes to a lot of new realities. That this world is run by a majority of assholes who are only in it for the profit. And most blind people follow this complete garbage. One person who took a great step in being against it was the President of Costa Rica. Instead of using US money that was suppose to be in support of MILITARY aid, which the US thinks is more important aid than giving aid for food or other important economic resources is, he used it to build new homes free of charge to people who were living on the streets ... He totally wiped out the whole military. They are only a POLICE state now. They also have free health care and free education. Hes a humble man, and he remains to have one of the lowest crime rates out of any of the countries in Latin America. This is because he took the initial step to CARE about his PEOPLE rather than care about profits or himself. This is what I call a true genius. If people cant see this for what it is, then you are blatently ignorant and fucking blind. I cant believe people that support way too much of the bullshit that goes on in this country. I really wish I could do something to open peoples eyes up to making a stand for human rights and basic needs. This shit has gone on for too long. But ONE person can change everything... as long as other people are smart enough to believe its for the best, such as Costa Rica (not in a way that Hitler changed things). The human race as a whole makes me sick. Those people who are underprivelaged and those who actually care about issues that matter have my offering of love and compassion, those who dont, can rot in hell. A majority of those who can rot in hell are the people who attend my school, and people my age... I think I take the hurting of the world in on myself. Nobody realizes the actually pain I go through when these issues come up. I may look like I am mad or upset on the outside, but the reality is, I feel like I die inside everytime something like this comes up. It should just be common knowledge and common sense... Not stereotypes and conditioned learning from one source. I seriously feel like I die inside, it is the worst feeling I can ever feel. Human rights issues are one of the 2 other main issues that grasp my heart like nothing more. People might think I care too much, but I think I take into consideration that if that was me in a particular situation I would want someone to realize what is the actual TRUTH rather than a veil full of lies.

That is all.
