After thinking about it for a while, I decided that I should never ever try and type out my opinions about things because I never go into enough detail to really make people understand.

I am going to try and clarify some things here and also argue a bit more...so yes. Here we go:

--

Yes, it is very true that those people are on the street. And chances are there are people like that living on my very own street. I know someone who beat someone to death with a baseball for screwing his wife. He spent 10 years in prison and they felt that he was rehabilitated so they let him free. Whether he is or is not I do not know. I believe that people who are caught for offenses like murder and rape deserve to be punished quite harshly and should be given no slack. That is of course ignoring the fact that I believe our legal system is corrupt and that we should focus on rehab instead of locking one away. But you can't ask for everything you want. We need to A. Prevent people from wanting to commit crimes and B. Figure out a way to prevent people from ever wanting to commit one again. Our society DOES have a lot to do with this and I am very much for changing things. I believe that most parts of our "culture" are fucked and self-destructive.

I believe that capitalism, like socialism and even anarchy are extremely flawed. No matter how we structure our society things are going to suck. There will ALWAYS be corruption, and there will always be a fight for money and power. No one can ever or will ever convince me otherwise.

I should not have used that last paragraph knowing that it would be taking out of the context I meant it to be in. So let me restate it:

If you break laws, especially in violent manners for reasons aside from the absolute need to survive then you have no right to be breaking them...and if you do so and get caught than it is your fault. Our country, as bad as it is, is NOT that bad. We have a fucking easy life and it is not too hard to live a relatively easy life free of government intervention. And you can always move somewhere else where it is equally or more corrupt. I hope this clarifies my thoughts a bit, if not then say so and I will try and get it out correctly.

And yes, it is true. They are there for those types of things. But the website does not exactly describe that in a very good way.

I did not say war is the answer. I just didnt feel to explain the whole thing. I am very much anti-war and express those feelings every day. I go to peace rallies, my zine is pro-peace/anti-us government literature, and I very much despise Bush and his going ons. The fact is though that sometimes war cannot be avoided. I am not going to go any deeper into this because I do not want to go any further into war discussions as I talked about it for over 2 hours today.

And everything you wrote after this point I very much agree with it all. I am very much disturbed by the way the world works....and the fact that I don't feel safe a single day of life. Not because of my friends or my city. But because their president wants to start a nuclear war in my name. Because their president feels that he needs to finish what his daddy started. And that the UN is going to buy into it and then there wont be a spot on this earth that will be safe from what could happen. I am saddened that everyone....even the anti-cultures of one year ago are turning into the pop-culture of today. The fact that I can't even buy a pair of American made shoes without wondering if a 7 year old made them, or that I can't shop at Wal-Mart, a place that I used to love, because they are such fucked up assholes. Everything in our world is fucked. Not just America. Not just Americans. Everything.

I hope this explains things a bit better and shows you that i'm not some dumb bastard who just writes random crap that uncasam told me to say. I discuss all of these things a lot and am quite passionate about the things I believe. Anyhoo.....i'm off.
