It is my experience in my life that nothing is ever as it seems, or at least… not for long. When I was growing up between the ages of 1-5, I met my first friends to which are my best friends even today. I know that they would never betray me. However, some of them it could very well be in there nature.

Violence in its own definition is a defining characteristic among most animals. How is it that we came to know about how to cook meat or in that case, get meat at all? We are surrounded by violence. From movies, to television, books, to video games… Violence is everywhere. In this age of dog eat dog, we need to learn how to take care of ourselves. Here we find ourselves in a tight situation, where we need to know how much is Enough.

Sure there is murder out there in the world, but is it always necessarily wrong? If you were being assaulted day after day by the same person, without any reaction. You bottled up your anger for a few months, and than you finally let it out, only to find out that you were going to kill your attacker. If you killed that attacker, is it wrong? According to Law it is still a crime, but who is at fault, you, the attacker, or natural instinct.

One could argue that it would go any of the three ways that I named, but I personally believe that natural instinct should be prevalent over law, for we were born as is. It is only natural for us to act the way that we were, well made to act. Who can stop us, or I should say, who should be able to stop us from acting according to our own instincts.

The Wolf, live in their own civilization, they understand each other, they care for their kind, the way that we as humans care for ours. They kill upon will, yet there is no known punishment set forth by their own. The animals in the wild know what’s up, so why don’t we? Where are the limitations primarily set, and when do they end?

My statements that I am going to make in this, tiny little tale may offend some people of America, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. If you want to know what I think about that, well I really don’t care if I offend you. I am Canadian and if select ignorant Americans want to care only for their own country, than in retaliation and your own stupidity, this is your consequence… Here, I am going to care only about one man, myself.

You see, when the strike began on New York during the attacks of September Eleventh… America was the country that was attacked, but the entire world was effected by it. The broadcasting that had the footage of this attack played all day, all over the world.

I remember, when I first laid eyes on this footage, I was only in middle school at the time. I had wood working class from nine-o’clock in the morning until eleven-o’clock in the morning, at which point I would be dismissed to go home. When I walked in the door, it was completely quiet, but the car was in the yard so I knew that my mother was home. She was in fact in her bedroom, laying down on her bed, watching the macabre that was 9/11. She was jaw dropped in awe, as for myself… I didn’t know what to think.

If that was just two people, and we know how the United States acted… Imagine how the rest of the world reacted to the attacks. Yet, President Bush almost denied the fact that the rest of the world existed, and didn’t take into consideration that those attacks effected the rest of the world, when it did… Including the attackers. Bush went against the word of the United Nations and declared war on terrorism… expecting the rest of the world to comply, when in reality they acted on instinct, but was this instinct carried too far? What should have happened was for the United States to comply with the United Nations, and not to have reacted so offended by countries, not willing to immediately help them out.

In my life, which hasn’t been all that long I have had many an enemy, and I have gotten past most of them without physical confrontation. I did all of this, without my instincts. George W. Bush, could have done the same if he had an ounce of morality in his head. If George “Dubya” wants to fight terrorism, than his next target would be himself.

My conclussion to Mr. Bush’ actions are this. Expect a fully fledged de-throwing as it were before this term is over Mr. Bush. I don’t think that the people of America are going to acknowledge your ignorance as heroism for much longer, but than again… This is coming from a Canadian, and you don’t take us seriously anyway…

To Be Continued…
