Entry #21: Today I saw a bird...

On campus, at my college, it was sitting on the ground. Now I know, this might not seem like anything special, there are alot of birds at every college campus. This particular bird was your average black bird, but instead of flying or walking this one was sitting on the pavement under a tree. As I came upon it, it didn't fly away, but it did act in fear from my approach, it was injured obviously. Its wing, or its foot or both were broken. This bird was not going to be flying anymore, and would surely die. I stood away from it as students were walking by, maybe looking at it, and I was honestly thinking that I should walk up to that injured bird and break it's neck, killing it instantly of course. Not out of being cruel, quite the opposite really. I would have given the bird a quick death, not a long one of starvation.

But in the end, I chose to do nothing, and I walked on. Guess I figured the ending of the suffering a simple black bird wasn't going to be worth the stares and shocks I would have received from other students. They would have seen it as a cruelty, but would it not have been those who chose to let the bird suffer who were in fact the cruel ones?

But like I said before, I ultimately did nothing, I was as cruel as all the others who chose to do nothing. Perhaps next time, I will kill the injured bird...

Post # 20: Forget a PS3...

I have recently been thinking and decided that for about the same price, or just a little bit more actually, I could buy a hand gun instead for about 560 dollars. I already got one picked out a Jericho Baby Eagle 13 round .40 S&W caliber. I have always wanted to own a handgun, and even more want to get a concealed carry license. Because whats the point of having a handgun for protection if you can't carry it around? Now granted I don't live in a dangerous area but still, it just something I have always wanted to do. It's like a status thing, you know we have a right to bear arms in this country, now I'm not a redneck or anything but ordinary citizens owning guns is important. Why you ask? Because if we can't own guns how can we stop the government if they turn fascist, seriously.
