Bar Talk part 4
Life's still slow here really, there was a little excitement here when the Christmas festivities were interrupted by anti-mutant protesters. God those people are idiots, is it so hard for them to see that all mutants are are people who have talents that other people don't, or that look different from the rest of us.
They wouldn't lynch someone for being a good dancer or an artist or a talented writer would they. Unfortunately the appearance one is a little different, throughout history people who look different to those in power have been discriminated against, have been hated, and I don't se that changing anytime soon.
And they were doing this at Christmas! Now I'm not a big religious person, never really seen the point, but from what I remember Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace. During the first world war even the English and German soldiers in their trenches made peace for Christmas day, sharing food and such, even if it only happened that one year, so why can't these so-called 'Friends of Humanity' guys -- some friends, going around causing riots -- do that? Is it so hard for them to act like civilised people?
Sorry, I've been feeling a little philosophical lately, what with the kids all being away somewhere. Come to think of it, where are those guys, I haven't seen them for a while now? Anyway, must go, New Year party to prepare for tonight.
AN: Hi, 'tis me. I've actually put some of my opinions about discrimination in here (and religion) so it might seem a little out of character for him. Sorry about that. Oh and the WWI thing really did happen, we read about it in history and it was part of my GCSE exam for which I got a C, but you don't care about that do you?
Happy New Year to all,
Much love,
Mercury Dream.
