Jul 2012

you get sometimes? something's wrong, something's being missed or forgotten or lost...these bastards must have been feeling uneasy for the past ten to fifteen years. or maybe not, maybe they just don't care. i'm reading the report but it's gonna take awhile since i'm at work and it's some 267 pages long.
it's astounding that people in such exalted and responsible positions could be so heartless and cowardly, could have their priorities so completely twisted.
