is it too soon to drop out of the race?

the human race, that is.
 
I decided to take a spin around the internet while I dine at my desk, and it looks like more of us have been up to no good:
 
this makes me both sad, and mad. but mostly, it makes me want to cash in my chips and become a cat, or a butterfly, or anything that doesn't blow up a bunch of its own species in order to prove some sort of point. it doesn't matter to me where the blowing up happens, it's always sad. but when it's just a bunch of folks minding their own business and going to work, well, that's the worst.

  2. I actually found it more depressing that the news gave three hours to OHMYGOD IT'S A TORONADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and, like, thirty seconds to the bombings.

  3. It seems that news coverage of massive death situations seems to be directly related to the whiteness and the Americanness of the victims. new york/ new orleans/ london/ pakistan/ india.
