In other news … how does that verse go … first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. There has to be a blog handbook parable there somewhere, I think.

It’s a gnawing pain spreading unrelenting bitterness around everything else. In a direct contrast, our pride as Americans is killing us and our planet. ‘I’m proud to be an American’ and ‘God bless America,’ are the greatest examples of spitting on everyone else. Like saying ‘God bless and keep my soldier safe; you can fuck everybody else, God, I don’t care. Just keep my husband/son/brother safe and to hell with the rest of them.’

Well, the rest of them are somebody else’s husband/son/brother too…duh. How can we be so stupid as to not know that? Perhaps every other country wants God to start blessing them, and to start fucking America…duh. Maybe a Paki would say ‘I’m proud to kill Americans ‘cause they think they’re better than me.’

And all we do is to fan the flames of this raging hatred. Only in America, the American dream, the American spirit. You can love your neighbor as yourself - that is the solution, a simple yet do-able solution. But you can’t love people who spit on you because they think you’re inferior. It isn’t possible; it isn’t in our nature.

Consider, the meaning of words. ‘We’re number one!’ actually means - you’re fucking garbage. It’s a challenge, and others are anxious to take up that challenge.
