So I've been looking for an apartment. I found some roommates to room with. Minner detail, they smoke illegal substances. Well I really don't care, what ever floats your boat. But it comes to if I really want to have that where I live. dosn't matter if I get busted I go to jail with them because I signed the lease.Not I woun't live with them. Oh thought this film was cute. Some days I think every human wears thouse rose colored glasses through either help from drugs, tv, or there ability to shut out everything that is prevalent and not so nice.
I was reading this article by Howard Zinn entitled "we can't handle the truth- America's selective memory and massacres long since forgotten." Anyway it talks about how we make the Boston massacre so big. It was the fire to start the revolt against Britain, blah blah blah, but there are so many massacres that America has done. Theres: taino massacre, pequot massacre of 1636, masscres of indians colorado 1864 in montana 1870 in south dakota 1890, 1917 massacre of East St. Louis,bay niew massacre in milwaukee 1886, 1897 coal strike pennsylvania, 1919 elaine, arkansas, 1921 in tulsa oklahoma, 1914 ludlow Massacre, 1937 chicago memorial day massacre, eight year war conquer the philippines, moro massacre,, My Lai Massacre 1968, Not to bash America, I love my country, but to become aware that everything isn't rose colored, just like drugs have its good and bad and that kids are doing them and that we let corpret America have too much power, America also as a whole isn't so noble. I really don't know what to do about drugs, or war or innocents dieing. As Ignazio Silone's novel Fontamare it states and I ask you the same, Che fare? what shall we do?
