I believe I've mentioned this a few times in previous posts. The "Love Train" is a very nice idea. Very nice. Too nice. People can't just be nice to everyone else and expect everyone else to be nice to them. The world does not, sadly, work that way.
Raise your hand if the date 9/11 has any significance in your mind. Ever watch TV? Well, then you know that people hurt one another. Has anyone you knew or someone they knew been murdered? Sure, it's not very significant what party you are (there are liberal Republicans and "Reagan Democrats"), but it does matter where your values lie. People blow up buildings, kill thousands. People kill their own children, for crying out loud. We need to protect America from people who want to destroy it. Here's an example of why you just can't ignore some things (like bombs). I was in gym class the other day, and you know how there's always a couple clowns in a crowd? Well, two such guys kept trying to steal the basketball from my friend and me. We did a pretty good job of keeping it away, but they got it a couple times. Finally my friend said, "I just want to play basketball. Let's ignore them."
I said, "Well, if we ignore them, we won't get to play anyway. They'll just take it. So at least if we try to keep it we get to play."
It's like, "I want to live without fear of terrorist attacks. So I'm going to ignore them!"
You can't put everything on the "Love Train."
