The party was supposed to be at my friend Patric's house (a mack ass deal with a bar and a pool), but his granny came over to spend the day, so its been detoured to Pete's place. Still cool, probably to cold to go swimming anyway, so no big whoop.

Not much going on, went on an interview friday, and have another monday morning, so things are looking good in the job department, I may be finacially viable again soon!

On to a rant:

I was parusing around the net and found something about the whole 'USA government apologizing and offering restitution in the form of money to black people because of slavery' thing, and because of my initial knee-jerk reaction to it at the time, I had never given it much though. So, I got to thinking about it, and I came back to one question: Why would the government apologize? If I remember my history correctly, the Union, not the Confederacy, won. And thinking past that, I don't think they ever lost another civil war, so wouldn't they be the 'governing entity' still today?

So, following this train of thought, black people (whom I consider Americans, not African-Americans) are asking for apologies and restitution from the government body that instituted a full scale civil war, thusly tearing the country apart, for their freedom. That's a little harsh for a symbol of gratitude if you ask me.

On a lighter note, I've noticed the front page is almost devoid of porn now, so I'll try to remedy that next post. Also, the forums are in full effect now, so don't be shy, register and start your own offending rant. There's also another box in the side panel linking to the most active topics in the forum.
