China, Nigeria Face Off Over Miners “Abducted” in the Central African Republic

Why is China abusing nations across the globe to steal their natural resources and abuse their people in doing so?

Isn’t it bad enough that the US is doing the same thing, and that England has a permanent history of this behavior?

I must be stupid to think that the world can live on kindness towards each other.

I have not written in a while because I have been depressed, depressed by the above and depressed by seeing the madness going on around me. It is a very uncomfortable feeling to feel homeless, and this is the feeling that every person not born in the US, whether all their papers are in order, whether they are citizens by marriage or citizens by naturalization, must now live with this insecurity.

How long can the planet last in this condition – as long as it has lasted so far ?

Has there ever been a time in the history of the planet when all the countries were at peace, living in harmony?

I am dreaming again! I am dreaming again! I am living in my madness again!

Maybe my madness is my only security.

Have you ever read James Baldwin? We have the same kind of madness, he and I.

There is a book I just read that blew my mind:

How to Go Mad Without Losing Your Mind ........by La Marr Jurelle Bruce

check it out!

This book described me so well that I walked right into it and have not left.

The unfortunate situation, however, is that I have been holding on since my childhood, not to be engulfed by my madness, but now I am slowly succumbing, without even ………..
