a random thought

I want a beer ...

The times seem to require it. The madness of the world seems to be imploding on itself. The Virginia Tech Massacre, a horrible rape in New York city, endless discussions about some idiot DJ. ... it's as though everything is coming to a head. Just scanning the Drudge Report on any given day, gives everyone a look at the evil of man, and truth be told it becomes tiresome.

Everything seems to be on the brink of something, and yet ... here i sit in a blissful state of ignorance. No ... it's not ignorance because I understand the implications and the consequences. Maybe it's somewhere between indifference and a deep concern masked by passivity.

Perhaps this is what they meant by the "ME" generation. A large and general "I don't give a f*ck!" to anyone within earshot or to anyone who cares to listen. Like that will justify the individual in their existence, in their beliefs, in them. The same indifference is what propagates the problem. It furthers it along its path, making the severity of the crimes worse, and allowing people to accept anything less than the extreme. The next time something happens people will say "Well at least it's not as bad as ..."

Who knows ... but with the ever endless coverage of all the evil things we do to ourselves, one can't help but feel somewhat detached.

OR ... maybe I'm just rambling ... i tend to do that.
