War... what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

I love Oprah. I guess it's the woman in me. Anyway, I was listening to the Oprah channel on my XM radio this morning and it was the Gail King show. She had Eve Ensler on as the guest. She is the lady that wrote "The Vagina Monologues" and other books. I love this woman. They were discussing the NBC Morning show from a couple of days ago where Merideth Vierra had to apologize b/c she asked Jane Fonda to do one of the pieces from the monologue called "reclaiming the cunt". I guess it offended some. Eve made a comment that really made me think. We get offended by words like cunt, pussy, etc. which only are mere words for vagina. But, no one gets bothered by words like bomb (unless you're on a plane), war, acid rain, RAPE... Isn't sad that in the 21st century the leader of the free will still has a great amount of people offended by a fucking body part and not the idea of people and children being violated, maimed and killed? I know there are some people out there that have a heart but here in the midwest they seem to be few and far between. People here seem to care more about stopping loving gay people from having normal lives and human rights, and keeping women from making decisions on their own bodies like abortion. (By the way all you pro-lifers, hope you aren't on birth control or support b/c it's the same damn thing!) Here they car more about getting shit for cheap by having about as many Wal-marts as there are churches. We have a 2 within 2 miles of each other. Call me crazy but I think that maybe if our country is the leader of the so-called free world then maybe we could act like it and care a little more when women are getting raped in our own military (and around the world), children are being sold as sex slaves, and what blows my mind is that the one place that people are so dissillusioned into believing is a safe place to raise their kids is actually a haven for pedophiles and rapists... church! I think that America has her priorities backwards. Why do we have to Americanize the rest of the world? Why not feed the world and educate them to make civilized decisions? Why don't we take care of our own unfortunate? There are many, many of our soldiers committing suicide and going mental from the war over seas... what are we doing about it? We send more over!! ay.... Get it together people... if we don't take care of our brothers and sisters who will? We all share this planet together, war isn't the answer. Most of the world is more civilized than that so, the countries that are.... let's act like it.
