"In the 1960s Kennedy attempted to convince Latin America that Cuba was a security threat to North and South America in general and the United States, in particular. The Mexican ambassador to the U.S. at the time called Kennedy’s bluff by saying, "If we publicly declare that Cuba is a threat to our security, forty million Mexicans will die laughing." Yet Kennedy was able to convince Americans of such a threat and this ultimately led to the brink of a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis – no laughing matter, that."
Cuba is back in the race for places we will make violent conquest upon, so I guess this stood out to me.

About Me
Blog Archive
I don’t care much for age. This may have come from my belief that I would not live very long. I don’t care what age people I care for are. This goes for gender too, it doesn’t make a difference to me.
I don’t dig religion. This may have come from the fact that most religions don’t explain or accept me; they don’t have an answer for people like me. They only can point blame and condemn my life.
The more beautiful things in my life, are ever changing. My short life is not to be satisfied by the ordinary. The person I love, is not my partner, or any one woman or man. I am in love with many people. This is no superficial temporary theme, the people I love most are right near me.
I love my best friends. I love my family. I would like to live on the sea with the pirates and in twilight with the warriors and momma lily.
We cannot stop loving, and cannot be confined by love, age, gender, or any other thing.
I need to remove my history. Create that fog around myself, so that everything is new.
remove the shackles created for me by society. leave behind my material being. I wish to live with my hands open; live without greed.
I wish to love many.. I wish to love, I will.

Almost disgusting how history repeats itself, isn't it?
very, but sometimes we're near-original in our atrocities.
we've gone pretty far into this wrongdoing, I wonder if we will ever raise the bar for human rights and personal freedoms in the United States (and the realm of its control) to average.
maybe one day we'll lead the way for change in a positive sense.
Maybe we'll share and grow with the world.. maybe we'll manage to accept people for who they are, as valuable fellow beings, and treat them how they want to be treated, not just what their replacement value is, or what somebody else deemed them worthy of.
aye but I'm not supposed to dream for another few hours.
and I know I go into that dream pretty often, but it really outdoes the trip we know as reality.
