This is grand...

South Africa has 4.5 million people with HIV, yet they need the money that would go for retro-virals to buy submarines "because the US might attack us", and that food (which they need donations of, naturally) is more pressing for people with HIV. Sure it is, but then you're just prolonging the inevitable.

Just my daily annoyance with the world.

/USA invades South Africa on general principle

Bush: Well now, I figured I'd find terrorist, but all we got is AIDs patients.
Lott: You remember Aparteid right? Those were some good times!

No that's actually pretty acurate. There have been a number of polls since aparteid was lifted that have demonstrate that most blacks do indeed believe that the white run government was a better governing body. I doubt if asked if they would go back to apartheid, that they would say ''yes," however.

Fucking elephants. They move in and property values dive. Then boom, they're killing you, while drunk on YOUR liquor!

Bah. I've never liked politics, and I don't think I ever will. Basically, it seems that everyone who is into politics is too stubborn to admit that, at times, he is wrong. They seem to fight more than get something done.

THing I hate most about politics is the bashing. I ALWAYS hear about how Bush and Clinton are doing/did such TERRIBLE jobs and are TERRIBLE people and have TERRIBLE policies. I hear very few positive comments about Bush, Clinton, or any politician, for that matter, except for Abe Lincoln (and people will tell you bad things about Honest Abe, as well!!)
