City or country life?

I'm all about that city life. I like how people think in the city, but I like how they live in the country. But if I really had to choose, I'd live in the city, because I'm Asian, and they probably wouldn't accept me in the country. And I like humans as opposed to no humans.

Miranda rights

I have to say, this is a tough one. As important as it is to be consistent with the law, this bomber just might be notorious enough to be an exception.
I think they should be allowed to use what he said -- maybe just this once -- but then that brings up the question of how far does one have to go to have their Miranda rights postponed?
I find this all very confusing, and the conspiracy theories are not helping me at all, but I think that the evidence should be enough to prove that this guy is really the bomber (at least, I hope it is).

Would I rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

FREE WRITE: Sad things are happening in the world

I really don't understand WHY ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. It makes me so upset to think that people in this world could harbor enough hate within themselves to take the lives of innocent people. It is the most despicable thing in the world, to take a life. It requires someone to be so far gone from humanity to take the life of another. And why are all of these incidents happening at the same time? First there were the shootings. The theater shooter and the Sandy Hook tragedy AND amid the chaos, there was that gun scare in Frisco. Now there are the explosions, intended or unintended. The Boston bombing... How? Why? WHYYY? An innocent child was killed! People literally had their limbs blown off! UGGHH. Some people are really cruel and heartless. I don't even know... And, like, ONE day later, a fertilizer plant blows up. Poor people... I don't know if these events are coincidentally similar and close in proximity, or if the Universe is trying to send us some kind of message...

Define peace

Peace is an acquisition of balance and a contentment with what is. I think that this definition applies to more than one entity being in peace with each other as well as being in peace with oneself. Things don't always have to be resolved for one to have peace. There can be issues, differences and imbalance - things that occur beyond out control - but it takes one's own willpower to find peace, I think. Peace is living in a state of acceptance of and contentment with what was, what is and what is to come.
