I slept most of the day today, but yet I'm in one of those overly fatigued blah/depressed moods where nothing seems to matter. I've spent about an hour or so already trying to remember the last time over here I was actually happy, and I can't seem to recall. I don't know if there has been a time when I was happy being over here. I am still strugging with the questions of what makes the United States so much different from the rest of the world. One of my friends tried to assure me that corruption and greed transcend international borders and you will find them everywhere, which yes I will agree with to a certian extent. But what is it that makes the US such a violent place? Many other industrialized nations share the same freedoms and rights as the US, they watch the same kinds of television, they are even allowed to carry firearms just as we are. Many of these countries even have a MORE DIVERSE population than the Unitde States. Why are they not killing eachother at the rate that we do in the US? What is it that sets us apart?
Oh well... does it really matter? Would anything really change? Probably not...
