wonders of wonder

so still, everyone is wondering about the malaysian plane. even more confusing thoughts on it now and how far it flew and in what direction after communication was shut off. i cannot say why this whole thing fascinates me so. not in a good way, of course. but i guess i just find it hard to believe that in these days of technology- satellites, radar, computers, phones, etc. that this plane cannot be found. i mean, the world just isn't that big anymore. how can a plane just disappear like that? i don't get it.

so i wonder.

there are many more things i wonder about, i guess.

like why there isn't better pothole technology? i mean, good grief. can't we fill potholes with something that doesn't disintegrate in a day or so? surely there is some kind of compound someone could make.

and why can't people understand that not everyone has an iq high enough to be able to climb the ladder.

why can't we have birth control handed out freely, without nutjob religious people getting their panties in a bunch?

why can't people who know nothing about children leave children and schools alone?

why can't i ever go to sleep at night, yet i'm so hateful about getting up in the morning?

WHY do we have to do this daylight savings time thing? i HATE it.

ok, and now you are going to think that i'm a really bad person, but why do people feel like it's their right to have children. i mean, why do people spend thousands and thousands of dollars, and bend their bodies all out of shape and such- just so that they can't have their own children? i suppose it's an ingrained characteristic of the human raise to ensure the population continues. but for pete's sake. if you can't have a child and you really want one- adopt. there are so many children that need homes.

why can't they just let people with cancer have all the pain meds they want. for pete's sake. suffering should be alleviated. worried about addiction? for pete's sake, they have cancer.

guns. why on earth do people think gun ownership is a right? guns are things. is owning anything a right? is car ownership a right? no. is owning a tv a right? is owning a computer a right? is owning a set of fabulous steak knives a right? no. so why do people think that owning a gun is a right? i think what they really don't like is that sane people would like laws to be passed so that you have to earn your right to buy a gun. i don't think background checks should be enough. i think you should have to show documented detailed report of your mental health status. Family documentation. I think you should have to take gun safety classes, let yourself be subjected to safety checks of your home at least once a month. i think that you should have to demonstrate proof that you need one. I think you should have to present your case before a jury of people with expertise in psychology, criminology, and sociology. i think you should have to put a sign on your house saying "i have a gun." i think your case should be reviewed yearly. i think you should have to provide doumentation to law enforcement about how and where your guns are kept. i think if you are carrying a gun around with you, you should have to wear a bright yellow hat, that has a button on it that says, "i am carrying a gun." anyway, i'm wondering why we can't do all these things. if guns are so precious to you, why wouldn't you do all those things to have them?

and now i'm wondering why if i have to get up and teach plane geometry in the morning, why i don't get to bed?
