vietnam part deux

i found myself compelled to watch this



and about 40 seconds into the not so great cnn video, i switched over to this



the former being the much much more harrowing, but the latter being the more painful to watch and think about. what is this world coming to? why can't there be peace so i can worry about my techno gadgets full time? seriously it's a shame. i'm a horrible american...or a typical one


I also thought why don't we call independence day, dependence day and celebrate the brown man with lots of proper carne asada and indian fireworks that can truly blow off a whole hand instead of one paltry "safe-n-sane" finger?
