I thought it was 2007, Maybe I was wrong

Also pretty old


I didn't go out to any parties on New Year's Eve, so I'm pretty sure I noticed when the clock hit midnight, the year went to 2007. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong though. I read a couple of news articles that really make you wonder.

The first article was about a 14 year old black girl in Paris, Texas. She has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for pushing a teacher's aide that refused to let her get to the school to take some medicine. The 58 year old man, was not injured, and was the first person to start pushing. I'd like to encourage Texas and the parts of the South that are still filled with racists to jump ahead fifty years and join the rest of us.

The second article was about some Muslim secondary school pupils, attacked their teacher and and beat her to death for desecrating the Koran. This isn't the only time it's happened. It happens a lot, but it's still sad that it's still going on. I for one would hope that the world could come further than killing in the name of a blind faith in over 1000 years, maybe not.

There are too many good people in the world, or at least people who should know better that could easily take a stand against this kind of needless, out of date bullshit. We are all guilty of letting stuff that we see or hear slide, but we need to start doing something about it. Know the difference between jokes and racisms, and realize that books written 2000 years ago are filled with reasons to kill, but we know better. Don't let people get away with killing in the name of.

P.S. Sex slaves still sold at Gatwick.
