Africa
First things first ... I made the mistake of bringing along the South Park Chef Aid CD to school. I'm listening to it in the comp lab and I'm doing everything in my power not to belt out and start singing "Chocolate Salty Balls." read the lyrics to figure out why I want to bust out and start singing it...
While taking a shower today, I was thinking about the uselessness of land mines. I mean, there's something to be said about a contraption whose sole purpose is to wait until someone steps on it ... and then blows the crap out of their leg.
In this day in age, are land mines really necessary? With war rapidly evolving into less of a prolonged land troops fighting land troops and more of a "blast the hell out of their land troops with our air power then walk in," what purpose do land mines serve?
I was looking at the list of countries that signed the 1997 land mine ban and realized that neither Korea or the US had signed it. I think it would make a big statement if the US would just get its head out of its ass and sign the damn thing. I really hate the thought of weapons that lurk around until after the war and still be dangerous.
In any case, one of the most jaw-dropping things I read was in the Guardian ... a frickin' hippy praised Bush regarding Africa. "You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical - in a positive sense - in its approach to Africa since Kennedy," Geldof told the Guardian. Wow.
And of course, here is another quote which basically sums up MY feelings about the Clinton Administration and why I love the Bush administration:
Wow, this is quickly turning into a pro-Bush blog. Better back off before I start offending everybody since it's so so frickin trendy to say "bush sucks." not to mention it makes me think that i'm an intellectual cause i'm "sticking it to the man." < /end bitter cynicism towards anti-Bushies >

Lord Alli, the aid activist who is accompanying Geldof on the trip organised by the UN children's aid agency Unicef, echoed his praise of the Bush administration.
"Clinton talked the talk and did diddly squat, whereas Bush doesn't talk, but does deliver," Lord Alli said.
