    I...

    just don't know what to say with the recent death of a 42 year old woman in an USA hospital. I'm completely shocked at the cruel coldness of the images and what they revealed.

    This is not, I can guarantee you, new. A little all over the world we hear these stories here and there. Just this year, a 82 year old woman died in a Portuguese hospital after begging for help (yes help! in an hospital) for 4 hours. She was waiting her turn... and died on the bench, just like today.

    I confess I shed a tear then, as I did today, when I saw of this poor woman fall to the floor and die there, alone, in an hospital of all places, as people passed by and others distanced themselves. As security personel and even a doctor looked at her agonizing body as if it was a paper someone thrown at the floor, and kept on moving their way, completely oblivious to the fact a human being (f...!) was dying on the floor.

    That woman had the most cruel death I have ever witnessed in my entire life. I swear she had. I was in Angola in '92 and saw some pretty ugly sights... very ugly... but at least in a war there's passion. She didn't even had that. She had the worst treatment one can give an human being. She was poor, disposable, ugly and she was sick. She was useless and a nuisance. She was black trash not worth society's effort, despite the fact she most probably worked more in a single day than a singer of football player works in an year.

    What the hell is happening to us!?
    What is this hellish thing we call society? When will it stop?... and I will say it right here... when will we BEAR ARMS!?

    some days... some days I just hate everyone.
