Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Andy Rooney on tonight's 60 Minutes noted that the U.S. gave Israel nearly $2 billion worth of weapons last year alone. So the Sharafat creature of hate and killing can sate its bloodlust. Yet the United States can only offer $200 million for drugs to save lives? Enron tried to screw India for billions on a power plant with a guaranteed income and the threats of the US administration that they'd better pay their bill on a contract borne of lies, corruption and deceit. Even AFTER Enron collapsed! Meanwhile, on another front, & apparently has the water-based lube market completely tied up in India. There are NO little sachets to provide for safer sex packets and the KY they sell is hideously overpriced. Meaning most Indians that bother with safer sex at all are probably using animal fat or ghee--and an animal based condom maybe??--that won't protect against HIV infection. What is WRONG with this planet? Must it be run only by the vile, the incompetent, the stupid and the cruel? How many millions must suffer horribly and die while the United States bullies and threatens other countries that don't kowtow to executives who make hundreds of millions even when they fail to run the company and the workers get screwed and lose their jobs, pensions, etc. Sometimes I become so horrified and disgusted with humanity. Should this species persist with such vile detritus that is so willing to kill for a buck they'll never really be able to spend or enjoy? How much stuff can one human hoard and utilize in the end? Such a terrible illness! If it weren't for the beauty of dawn in the world and the good hearts I've known who have struggled to help others, to survive despite the most fearful challenges, to exalt in that enormous beauty despite the wickedness--and even more, to watch so many transform themselves and control the selfish, greedy or cruel nature we all are prone to and must struggle against...if it weren't for those small battles fought in the world where incredible art and music can be created, I would long ago have committed suicide. The lies that there isn't enough money to help with education, health, access to medication and so forth in the face of these monstrous lies and hypocrisies will not stand. La lucha continua. M.
