North Korea's missle testing today has me thinking about how much it sucks that we have to deal with this stuff in today's society. I know North Korea is just craving attention and isn't actually going to launch the missiles at anyone (well, I sure as hell hope not, anyway) but it just has me thinking about how much today's world sucks. Over the past couple years you've had events like 9/11 and Katrina. Our soldiers, God bless 'em, are dying in far-off parts of the world. We're dealing with so many threats that we had to make a "Color-Coded Terror Alert System." Dictators in other countries are possibly developing nuclear weapons. TV ads tell us to make sure we know what to do with our kids and family "if something serious happened." I mean, this sucks. The world's had worse times, but that doesn't mean that this time isn't pretty damn depressing. We live in a world where, let's face it, we really don't know what's gonna happen. Is anyone else feeling as gloomy as me at the moment?
