daily drawing.

i just finished watching gangs of new york (i know i'm behind the times, but i don't have a tv, so i rent everything on netflix) and reading about the riots in burma. it grieves me that these things happen, and yet they always have and perhaps always will. there is something in our human nature, some kind of bent that needs to build a hierarchy of worth and then spend lives reinforcing whomever is currently the king of the hill.

i understand that other people may feel very differently about violence and war, but i will always be a pacifist. while i respect that others might have strong convictions to other values, i cannot support violence in any manner.
