lately i have been thinking alot about violence. when is it justified and when is it wrong? i think that if you are defending the weak, it is ok. but last night i had a dream where a guy hit my girlfriend in the face with a snowball, so i picked up a chunk of ice and smashed his face with it. a move that was highly uncalled for, but i was defending the "weak". sorry mara. so how do you define "defend", or "weak" for that matter? (define define) are we defending the weak in iraq? or anywhere else in the world? or is our military there for other reasons. i dont think our army should be over there anymore.
also, what part should a presidents religious views play in determining his decisions? i dont think they should play a part, but at the same time, we all have convictions, and those have to come from some where.
the bottom line is, i dont know very much today. but i do know that i am watching the movie "open range" right now, and i like it.

You were summer staff because you hung out with us every night.
Part of that had to do with Mara. Part of it had to do with the fact that you secretly wanted to be on summer staff.
Sometime soon I want to tickle your toes.
Literally.
An interesting approach to defending the weak. Always gotta pull the politics card too.
dude, i cant wait to see mara and snow at the same time. i want to see this rage. i want to push the limits of nick welch.
gosh i hate thinking about that kind of stuff.
what about what the indians did with the leadership of Gandhi?
didn't they stand up and defend others by just standing up and not defending themselves?
nonviolent acts of protest?
do those ever work?
and what about in the old test. battles... david was a king who sent everyone into battle... killed people, moses held up his hands so that they could kill people and win...
man.
thinking is lame.
this kind of stuff just makes me want to stop.
but i hear you.
happy new year.
