we're the aliens we wonder exist

Things like this and Syriana make me feel as though my own species may be alien to me. Perhaps it is just my lack of experience in being evil, but it shocks my mind.

Just how bad are people capable of being? I guess the limits are those of the imagination, and because the imagination has very few limits... I guess that is very bad.

The film linked above is about the attack on New York's World Trade Center on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001 referred to as '911'. The reason I spell this out like so is that this whole event is still a fully unresolved thing. Questions need to be asked. The same is true with the 2000 and 2004 elections in the USA. Who really won these? What foul play was involved? Sometimes it appears to be the case that America really is getting taken over by tyrants and yet there seems to be no way for people who realize this to do something about it.

I'm hesitant to go to DC at times. I'm estranged by my own people, my own species, it's a strange feeling.

Today I took a holiday since there is nothing to do in the office. I am wandering around Kumamoto City by myself, taking pictures, feeling strange all the while. Maybe I should go eat some hearty food.
