ug, Americans...
I'm sitting here talking about how the United States really isn't all powerful; hmm...ah, all I can think of is Rome, and the so many similaritys between it and the USA today. Its the blind pride of a powerful nation that is their downfall in the end...usualy from the inside out. And as the USA is so worried about everyone elses problems and the things going on in other countries...they are blinded to even the simple things going on in thier own country sometimes...murders are so commen down here that it doesn't even make the news when it happends...murders, rapes, suicide, declining education system. All the numbers they want to go down are going up...and the numbers they want up are going down...and the great Rome falls...I hear so often how "great" the united states of america is...and yet, from what I can see..the only thing that makes them great is their military power...rule with the iron fst over many and don't worry about the deaths and murders of the innocent thousands per DAY within your own borders.

Even as close as Canada is to communisim as some might like to think, with all of our government control of so much...last week I watched a CBC news report and they where reporting on how the murder rate in Toronto is getting out of hand with an alarming murder count of 11 now this year. ELEVEN!!! Try and tell me the USA is so great...heh...Toronto is our biggest city...rivaling the bigger cities in the US...only diff is people and leave thier doors unlocked without mich concern in Toronto. I come from a great nation that even with all its downfalls...we can at least keep our people alive. Now granted the USA's population is amazing greater then ours...so hey have to put more effort in....what can be done with the small can be done with the big...just on a larger scale.

People in the USA are so upset about the terrisim in the world, with a good cause for sure...but take a step back and really try and see where it all started...I really don't think it started as a religious thing, because they could have attacked any other country...heck, if a few of them came through the Canadian border like the Americans like to clame...they could have skipped out on alot of work and bombed the CN Tower or something....so why new york? Why the USA? Cause they are the biggest, they are the baddest...and they like to make sure that you know not to mess with them...then they are so shocked when people do and they can't do a dang thing about it. ...

I have to go to class, peace out.
