I'm procrastinating again. I've read over all of my English material, and now I need to go back and intensively anaylize and take notes with possible essay questions in mind.

I don't really want to. But I don't have anything else better to do.

Blah.

I'm sorry I take up your friends page, but I'm pretty sure that if I don't update on woohu every day, I'll go into withdrawl. Sometimes I don't have anything important to say, but I still update. I've updated more now, than ever, and I attribute that to 1. I have access to high speed internet day and night here and 2. I don't have much else better to do.

Loser.

The former Chilian dictator Pinochet died today. Ninety-one. After he overthrew the democracy of Chile, he did great things for his country. He kept them out of communism and the like, however, he had a blatant disregard for humanity. He maimed, tortured and killed thousands in the name of national security.

Why didn't the U.S. go after him? I'm not saying that it was wrong to prosecute (and mind you, NOT persecute) Sadam, but for all of you head strong, Pro-Bush Republicans, doesn't it make you think why the U.S. chose him to prosecute, and ONLY him?

Just wondering if anyone out there was still thinking.

Not only did the US not go after hime, they actively supported him. We'll talk about it when you get home, but there is much more to fuel your fire. You just happened to stumble into my area of expertise. 20th century Latin American politics and history.

I knew that would get your attention. I thought of you when I turned on CNN today and saw that.

I actually thought of calling you, but it was already well into the afternoon by the time I got up and around to watching CNN, and I figured you already knew!

You're so far away now and that makes me moody.
