Is killing in our Nature?

Its a family weekend over at my sisters house. The clan is settled in the living room after a rather hectic but absolutely enjoyable day, we are watching TV as we chat away the evening...hmmm..its an ideal setting, perfect. The whole family is there......mama, my sisters, brother inlaws and my little nieces and nephews. Sweet kids....and very intuitive. There's something on the news about US warplanes dropping bombs on some family inIraq, I quickly flip the channel and...its mungiki beheading a family somewhere in Karatina., I flip once more and yeah true to form the Islamist in Pakistan are killing civilians in Mumbai. I switch off the TV...theres silence for a split second then the chatting begins as if it hadn't stopped. It's the same stuff we see on TV everyday and somehow everyone is numb to what is happening there.

Arnold one of my nephews (6 year cuddles up to me and says 'Jomba...?'(that's uncle where I come from) 'Why do people kill each other?'..... 

Black and White, Blue and Red?

Well who is it going to be? I'm thousands of miles away from it all and guess what?...... I have just finished watching Bush/Kerry III.

Why? Umm look at it this way the guy who ends up leading the country of the stars and stripes can really make a huge difference in the world I live in. No shit that nobody likes it but its the absolute truth. It's not a good thing nor is it bad, its just the way it is.

Do I care who's elected....Yes
Do they care for my country....Absolutely not!
Does it matter who's in the 'white house'......hell yes!

Why?....Simple. Bush comes into the 'white house' and all hell breaks loose. Maybe he has all the right to go after Sadam, Osama, et al but what are the consequences to me, my country and millions like me? Tragic! Can't get a job because of my faith, can't travel and can't drive (sky rocketing gas prices etc). Tragic! The whole world seems to have gone insane...there's killing everywhere..Iraq, Afghanistan, Dafur, Nigeria, New York etc.

Kerry..will he be different? Let's put it this way....It can't get any worse than it is right? Anybody else but Bush! I doubt whether the civilised world can survive another Bush term, there's already too much killing, too much hatred....It is time for healing the wounds and let the true human spirit take pride of place in the world..huh? Ok what I mean is let the good in the world shine over the darkness that have engulfed the world since 2000.

Is it for Real?

Everyone's dying...left right and centre.

Ever ask yourself why?

In Africa they die for not eating enough food.

In the West they die for over eating.

Well??
