Not due to the fact of how one man was able to play hide and seek with America's CIA for almost ten years or because his death symbolizes for many one step closer to being out of the Middle East, it's the eerie feeling I get watching mobs of people outside the White House rejoicing the death of a man.
Don't get me wrong, I am well aware of the heinous crimes he committed as well as gave instructions to, but pondering this day in history, I feel somewhat ashamed seeing people boozing up and celebrating the murder of a human being. It just seems barbaric and wrong. Yet, I also understand everything executed by him was also barbaric and wrong.
I guess I just see this milestone as bittersweet.
To switch to a lighter subject, I recently watched a "song" made of Carl Sagan's many theories he proposed during his lifetime. Although I personally hate when people take snips of lectures and try to create something interesting out of it to seem all artsy fartsy, I took a real liking to this video.
Also, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Mr. Sagan, he is an extraordinary man who wanted humankind to learn more from the cosmos in order to become a better civilization. Whatta guy.
He was also a firm believer of legalizing marijuana.
On that note:
