Here's a follow-up to the story of the American's who were allegedly attacked in Squamish. Apparently, (and does this surprise anyone?) they weren't the helpless victims that they made themselves out to be. What I find most interesting is the part about bringing a gun back with them. This just fuels the stereotype of Americans being gun-toting louts...
This weekend, I happened to be half-watching television and I happened upon some PBS program that was talking about the high-polluting SUVs and why, even though they are lousy in the gas mileage department, people just still gotta have them. I dropped my beadwork to see this psychologist, (who no longer practices opting instead to work with big corporations to assist them in brainwashing people into buying things) explain that SUVs appeal to the reptillian needs of survival. He went on to say that even though people have all sorts of rationales to buying these hyper-polluters but really they don't know that it is the survival of the fittest. Bigger means stronger and stronger means survival.
I stared in disbelief! Survival? Is he joking? Ask any animal. Would they go out and purposely do something that degradates the ecosystem that they work in? Nature has a precarious balance and animals know that. Humans are idiots to believe they are anything more than a part of this ecosystem we call earth. Some will say that we have the ability to reason? My thought on that are that maybe reasoning is not a sign of superiority. Perhaps we are the weakest link for having that reasoning skill!
After about ten minutes of this crap, I turned it off. I must say that it wasn't all bunk... I was impressed with a satirical advertisement that showed all those fuel-consuming people as terrorist sympathizers... After all, many of the companies that process and sell oil are dealing with some of these so-called terrorists in the Middle East. Mr. Bush, does that mean we are going to hunt down these companies as well?
One other thing... I didn't catch the whole story but it appears that the CIA wasn't telling the entire truth about the weapons in Iraq. Mr. Bush should be checking all of the information before embarking on the war. The sad thing about this though is that many of us knew we weren't getting the whole story. (Late addition to this post... Here is an article posted on a friend's site about the lies...) Can I say, I told you so?
