Terrorism Is Cowardly
Is killing 190 innocent people on the subway on their way to work with bombs in backpacks a good way to make a religious or political point? The people behind this are cowards. It really pisses me off that they attack innocent civilians. Its one thing, (maybe a bad thing, but definitely a violent thing) to declare and go to war with a country, or even to overturn a government, but its an entirely different thing to kill almost 200 innocent people in another country because of their religious or political beliefs, or really because of anything for that matter. If al-queda is such a powerful force and are such badasses why don't they show themselves, stand up and say, "here we are, this is what we believe in, we are willing to fight you, bring it on." and stand up for their beliefs against those who oppose them. If they really thought it was noble or righteous to die for what they believe then the leaders would stand up and announce themselves and be willing to die for their beliefs.
Now I'm pissed.
On a lighter note, the ACC tournament starts tonight with the play-in game. For those of you who don't know the play-in game is between the two crappiest teams in the conference to determine who gets to play (lose to) Duke tomorrow. What an honor. This year clemson and virginia are playing. The real action starts tomorrow, arguably the best day in college basketball as there are 4 games (Wake vs. FSU at 7pm). If you are a sports fan, you don't want to miss tomorrow's action. When I was a kid we would bring radios and headphones to school so that we could listen to the games. We would have to run the headphones down our sleeves and prop our heads up on our hands just to hear the scores. It was wild stuff. That was before every 12 year old kid had a cell phone with the wireless internet to check scores and send text messages and what not. This was back in the day when you had to be dedicated to the tournament.
The only undefeated team in college basketball (St. Joe's) lost today, now they are 27-1, ha.
I mean they had the record, but who did they play?
Also, I was unable to eat at Baja Burrito today b/c apparently some wild ish went down in the top part of mission valley shopping center around 2pm today. Mad cops were out there, 5-0 all over the place. They had the whole parking lot and shopping center roped off in yellow tape. Good thing we didn't get there an half an hour earlier. Wack stuff goes down around NCSU.
My visit to ECU really wasn't as educational as my visit to UNC earlier in the year, but good times were had, just no lessons learned or mysteries solved or secrets revealed.
Go DEACS!
