Well I guess it's about time I wrote something new. Not that there's anything new happening for me right now.

Do you believe in ghosts or evil spirits? Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted?

Well, my gut feeling is that I don't want to believe in spirits, but I know that if I let my imagination run loose, I'll be tempted to think that there are. If I had the choice, I wouldn't spend the night in a remote house, especially if I were asked to spend it alone.

Ok, I've answered the question, and now I've got something to talk about. I was attempting to set up a movie for my sister, and after waiting for a minute, I realized that the disk wouldn't read. Looking at it, I found it to be deeply scratched all over it's face. What drives a person to vandalize? I spend enough time on Wikipedia to see that there are millions of people who would just love to ruin something for another person. I suppose it's the anonymity of it all - you can vandalize, and the chances of you getting caught are really slim. But think about it - the DVD rental place will have a record of who had the video out last, and can go and check to see who scratched it up. I'm not talking about little hairline things here either. These look like sand paper or steel wool. I mean, if people feel driven to do stupid things like this, then how can we defend our race as being intellectually superior? At least the gorillas don't feel the urge to make a mess of their lives.
We, being Homo Sapiens are pretty dumb at times. Ok, maybe not all of us, but when you average it out, I don't think it's very high. Would an intelligent race develop weapons of mass destruction simply to hurt some of it's fellow beings? Then again, we do so as a fight for supremacy and land, and the grizzly bear will fight to death for the same reason. Are we equal, if not lesser than a grizzly?
