It's been an absolutely lovely day here (though we could actually do with rain), it's ironic really, because so many people seem to be slathering at the mouth for it all to end. Oddly though, I don't hate them, I pity them.
I could almost understand this mentality in countries that are torn by wars, famine and death, but the US is a land of plenty, it may not be perfect, but nowhere is, and a lot of the West do not realise how lucky they are. The thing that annoys me is peoples willingness to put the future of themselves and everyone around them in the hands of some unseen force, we have such potential as a species, we really do. I suppose it takes great courage and humility to say "We are responsible for the world around us", but until we do so, the mistakes of the past will forever return to haunt us.
