Sad, really...

Another day, another grave robbery.
This is why I can't take 9/11 so seriously; if there aren't people acting melodramatic about the affair just to make themselves look better, there are people out there just wanting to stuff their own pockets with money from the dead. I swear, this is becoming less of a time of sympathy and more of an ugly custody battle for inheritance. I feel like Jonson's "Volpone" should pop out of somewhere just to steal from these thieves or something, just because I know at least Volpone would lose in the end of several acts (then again, perhaps that is just what Bush is?).

I can't see Palestinians or Israelis selling little men that blow up or something to that effect and yet it happens here and there are people who buy it up without a single reality of the irony in it.

Date: 2004-09-21 02:10 pm (UTC)i remember my american girlfriend at the time remarking that the American flag was on everything. everything was themed red white and blue. she got rather sick of it really.
and personally, of all the flags in the world, the only one which elicits an emotion from me is the American Flag. I can't bear to see it. I hate the was it is adorned on things as a symbol of possession. And it makes me wonder how strong these feelings are in people who have been wrongs by USA foriegn policy...
