kascheOk. As soon as I was online, today, I saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jadis31's post. Well, it made me think.
It's strange when things you have always thought are said by someone else, someone who -I think- holds a better right to say them that I do. On the past few years, even shortly after 9-11, I heard these by persons I trusted, and also by someone I didn't expect. And I heard other people answer that they (we) were saying stupid things, that we didn't have the right to talk like that, that in front of so many deaths all of we just had to support America. That we didn't have the right to judge. Well, actually they just said that we were talking rubbish, but also that came out.
Probably it's true that we, that I, don't have the right to judge. That's why I decided against posting comments on Jo's entry. We also have our skeletons in the cupboard, skeletons that just yesterday had been brought up in the most stupid, and shameful, of the ways.
I admit, I've not been as shocked or felt as involved as it seems I should have, compared to other reactions here. At first I actually got a shock, but mostly because I knew that two, three of my best friends were at NY on a school trip. I didn't know exactly where they were, that day. They were going to Boston in that moment, but I didn't know it until 16.00. It's selfish, I know, and human too I hope, but after I knew everything was all right it was hard bringing me to care at that point again. And, well, being far from that place and not having any string that connected me to there could either allow me a wider view, or a too detached one. Which probably is the same thing, seen from different PoVs.
Ok, I don't know what I wanted to say anymore, I'm just rambling.
And then, yesterday I heard one of the most stupid and idiotic things ever. Oh, now, in the 40s no one killed anyone else. At the very worst people could be sent on holiday in godforsaken places. (I always resolve to read "Christ stopped at Eboli" and I always forget to.) But who does he think to cheat?? And when this morning the same, same, same old story came out, that all this was just a misunderstanding, I couldn't help but think that they could find better pretexts, this one is used and abused. Hey, a politician just can't say the first thing that comes to his mind. Let alone false and wrong sentences like the ones he's spatting lately.
But why? This is what I can't understand. Why? I don't think he's stupid. I think he cares only about himself, his industries, his followers and acts only upon his interests, but I don't think him stupid. Yet I can't see how all this can help him attaining his goals. Am I the stupid one, then?
