I don't know if anyone keeps up with me or my journal anymore, but if you do or if you found my journal and PM-ed(which is totally fine, and really awesome) Then you may have forgotten to fill out the subject line, and currently my account flashes 'one new message' but I can't look or see the message (or who it's from or if it's even there) because the subject wasn't filled in. So please, if you did send me a message recently, resend it and fill in the subject and then I should properly receive it and reply to it. Thanks, Kathlynn ~no quote~

It's hard for me to decide what to worry about and what not to worry about and when to worry about which. Some days I feel like I should only be concerned with now and things that affect me directly, but other times it's pretty much the opposite. It's hard to find a balance between the two, really. History and politics and the history of politics pisses me off so much. Like how at the end of WWI we pretty much told Vietnam to fuck off because they were too small to give two shits about even though they deserve the same rights we have because they are people too. Then the Vietnam war happens like...40 years later (no wonder..) and we sweep in like usual to 'save the day' and help out that poor country.. All my life I have been told the Vietnam War was basically this; The country was divided and angry, and started fighting each other. One side was right and one side was wrong. Up until this point in history Vietnam didn't really do anything or try to get any help. America, being the wonderful and empathetic nation we are, saw that the good side was being beat and thus sent troops to help. A lot of people didn't like it because no one likes war, and eventually we pulled out. But that's not what really happened and I'm just so sick of finding out that I've been lied to my whole life. The older I get the more lied to I realize I am. Perhaps if we had met in the middle of the 14 points (which laid down for everyone) and the Treaty of Versailles (which just humiliated Germany and only made punishments) Then Germany wouldn't have been so pissed at us and their people wouldn't have been so willing to believe in someone like Hitler. Then maybe we could have prevented WWII. And if we would have just helped Vietnam have some freedom then we wouldn't have had the Vietnam War. But of course...we were completely 100% right in ignoring Wilson and not arguing with the Big 4. And there was absolutely no way we could have prevented WWII or the Vietnam War. However, subjects like this are what I'm not sure I should worry about. Guh. That was really just a rant. It's hard to not worry about things like this though. =\ It seems useless though, no one else seems to care...why should I? Why can't I just be caught up in day to day drama like everyone else? Why do I think that though? Why don't I think more along the lines of; Why aren't other people caring about this? Why aren't we rewriting our history books and talking about things like that? Why does it seem okay that politics or whatever it is that controls things like this just smoothed the edges? Do you just accept that it happened and that no one is talking about it and move on? Is that okay? Is it better to do that? I really have no idea. Quote of the Day: ~“We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers.
