    bloody ignorant fuckers. Even though they believe this crap, how can people justify taking the life of another human being for wealth not to mention power. Why are humans so greedy? It’s all around us, not just the ones we hear about every day, Saddam, Kim Jong Il, Bush, Ahmadinejad but we gotta be on the look out for greedy motherfuckers everywhere in the world these days, people with sociopathic tendencies such as Jefferey Skilling and the rest of the Enron executives are all around us just waiting to strip us clean, get rich fast schemes have never been in more supply than now and 99% of them are just downright thieves.

    I gotta get out to an island somewhere like Musha Cay, ohh my God what a dream that would be and just chill for the rest of my life, but I’m to poor to go there, guess I gotta rip a few thousand suckers off first and then I’ll be home free…

    naaa, fuck it, I’ll just go bowling
