Keep your friends close......

............................. and your enemies closer. From the Godfather II.

If history taught us anything, if anything is certain, is that you can kill anyone.

Why do we believe that democracy is such a hot thing? What makes us believe that the western life style is so good? We are fat, sick and sad. We are sinking with hunger, depression, war and sickness. The worse part? we want the entire world to join us.

I was going to bitch about how much I hate the American lifestyle, how decadent I think it is, how awful some of the values are, but I rather spend some time listening to some heavy metal or some hip hop, eating a burger and drinking some coke. Just kidding. So its not that the States is a bad place, its actually quite nice, but there are lots of things that I believe are totally wrong. The imposing of the war, the use of fear as a way of manipulate people, the health and insurance industries, the processed food industry to name a few. I’ll try to talk about this issues in the future and explain my point of view as a foreigner.

Nobody has a clue what its like to be me.

- I’m African-American
- Oh, that’s very nice, and what part of Africa are you from?
- What do you mean?
- What country of Africa are you from? Didn’t you say that you are African American?
- Are you trying to be funny with me!?
- No, not at all, did I say something wrong?
- ..Funny guy!.
