Kiwi On The Loose

Well its been all go, helping a friend move house, writing and taking photos exploring the land of opportunity trying to find the truth……..and I think I am getting nearer.

I have found out that gunfights were not really all duel type situations, man on man type stand offs. Most gunslingers shot their victims from behind coz they did not want to get shot. I watched ‘Open Range’ the other night, a Kevin Costner film. Afterwards they had a doco on the development of gun technology and the gun lifestyle, very interesting. Thats where the above fact re no one on one shoot outs was mentioned. It seems it has been a myth.

Another myth was on ‘Hannity & Colmes’ tonight. This myth is different and beggs some kind of exploration but I am too tired. I have been worrying about the economy all day, it wears you out.

Shaun (sp?) Hannity a Fox media star whose favourite saying is ‘journalism is dead’ was interviewing Condalisa Rice. He said that that America made up 5% of the worlds population but did 95% of the worlds fighting for freedom and democracy…I forget the exact words for the latter part.tho I am sure about the freedom bit.

I like Shaun, Sean, Shawn……..but that seems like a gross exageration. 95% of the world police work for freedom. I gotta think this one thru. For starters  does any nation do anything these days that does not have intrinsic gain. America is not in Tibet, East Timor, The Solomons, etc etc……….I think we could reduce that puffed up or bloated statistic right there. BUT what erks me about this…is that Sean will so believe it…Fox is meant to be about ‘no spin’…………but I find some of the programme hosts to be very verbose on their own veiws even when asking guests questions….especially Bill ORielly….and then they blow you off. If I was gona be anything I’d probably be a thinking or reluctant Republican……but among conservatives sometimes I find attitudes as ugly as those in the liberal camp.

To bed young man……what you think is not important..BUT you have the freedom to think it…..thanks of course to America fighting the worlds battles.
