  my brother's keeper 17-nov-2001  

     People used to tell me, "If you don't like it, move to another country!"

     "You'll be back!" they always said, when I left.

     I never thought much of it, mostly due to the inbreds that said it.


     And I'm sorry.

     Not because I left...

     But because someone close to me pointed a gun at my wife and played with his itchy trigger-finger while asking me "How ya doing?"

     But because someone close to me said I abondoned them...

     Because someone close to me said I abondoned the family...

     Because someone close to me called me a "Traitor!"

     Because someone close to me said I dishonoured my father...

     Because someone close to me quoted a Bible verse invoking Biblical Revenge upon my very soul...


     I'm thankful that, right now, I only have to deal with the idiots who hate American because they think they're supposed to...


     ...and that my wife doesn't have to put up with that shit.


     It's enough to make me wonder why I wanna bring her to the States anyway.
