The thing I find appalling is that I am sure that nearly each and every one of the people complicit in the torture of the poor man were convinced that they were doing the correct thing, for great justice, truth, and so forth.

I'm sorry that those people are calling themselves human, and I'm sorry that I don't know what to do to make it fucking stop.


... I'm glad that I'm raising a sane and honorable child who is learning respect for others. I suppose that's one of the only, and the best, things I can do.

It is, I'm afraid. That is all anyone can do, is to make sure that their children have honor, integrity and a conscience. Sadly, I fear this doesn't happen all too often anymore.

I am ashamed of my country.

In other news... what a pretty picture of you.
