On the topic of war...

So, I saw the movie War Games today, with Matthew Broderick. It gave me a topic to think about, though it was on my mind before: In nuclear wars, there is no winner.

Let's think back to ancient times, when there was no concept of war! One caveman against the other, beating each other with clubs and rocks and whatever. Nowadays, we have nuclear wars. Wow, now that's progressive. Instead of two guys (or even girls) beating each other up over territory, we have bombs and missiles killing millions of people and animals. Those missiles and bombs destroy land, homes, the environment, and just about everything someone could care about. It really makes me wonder about who we are putting in political offices. I get that some terrorists would love to blow some place up for this cause or another, but how stupid do you have to be to not realize that all you're doing is killing each other off in a faster, cruder way?

Hopefully, reality will set in with these idiots, or at maybe we'll get some more intelligent people into office eventually (hah!). Maybe they should really think about what they're doing before they do it.
Political Officer: Hey, Russia is threatening us with bombs to blow up our country and kill millions of our people! We have to blow them up first!
Smart Person who has no power: But sir, they might fire back at us before they blow up, and then won't we all die?
Political Officer who doesn't care:What are you, a liberal?! Do as I say or you're fired! *mumbling* There's no such thing as a true patriot...damn wanna-be heroes...you were never in Korea or 'Nam...
Smart Person who is still confused: *blink*

Yeahhhhhhhh. Obviously that is a very difficult concept to grasp for them.

Fate is a fickle thing...

Right? Shouldn't it be? Isn't that the saying!? When something in life comes unexpectedly (and lets face it, everything comes unexpectedly), we say "oh, fate can be fickle." Of course it can. It's fate! If we knew what it was going to do, we would be prepared, and maybe less tragic things would happen. Less death, less hearts broken, less pain...Huh.

So...what does it mean when fate does the EXACT same thing in a way that's so freakishly the same that it's like de ja vu. It does the same thing TWICE. And no, no time machines were involved in the making of this unfickle fate moment. Maybe, the universe did it because it knew you were expecting something out of the blue, and it just repeated itself, thoroughly shaking you. It's true that a REPEAT was exactly the last thing expected. But it was already done! Grr!

Am I making any sense? No. Well, oh well. This blog is for rambling. It doesn't need to make sense. In case it's not obvious, this "unfickle fate thing" happened to me.

So, dangit fate, you've gotten me again!
