I'll give you a quick summary, Omelas is a utopia, there is no poverty, no crime, no hatred, no famine, and everyone is intelligent, happy and wealthy (Universal wealth, don't think of money). This town is perfect in every single way. But under one condition, and one horrible condition that would dictate who lives there and who doesn't. There is a child, locked away in a basement. That child is abused (Physically and mentally), starving, mocked at by the denizens of this town. There is no light for this child to see, nothing but darkness and stink of his own entrails. This is understood by the people as soon as they come of age. One would think that people would leave at the notion of this, but all the people of the town come to terms of the metaphysical agreement, that this child's suffering would guarantee the utopian conditions of the town.
 
Now let's look at Guantanamo Bay, before we go anywhere, we must both accept that many of the people there have obviously committed the worst crimes horrible, but yet at the same time there is an alarmingly large number of people who have not yet had charges placed on them because they have not committed crime. Understanding that, it seems as if there is a segment of the population that fool themselves into believing that the torture of people (Guilty or innocent) would somehow make a utopia of their nation. Now I doubt that these people have ever read "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", but they seem to understand the argument presented. Although something goes right through their minds. There are mass education gaps, mass unemployment, hunger, and poverty in their nation. They seem to believe all actions that go beyond the ones that torture dictate the attempt to destroy their utopia.
 
Absolutely something is wrong with these people, just as there is something wrong with the people of Omelas. If you can picture the problem with these people, I shall give you a cookie.

I'm loving L4D2 by the way, I've been having trouble getting into the Scavenge mode, but the last few games I've played were so much fun. I suggest everyone here to stop playing MW2 right this moment, to pick up L4D2. Just a suggestion. 
 
Also note, writer's block sucks. I could not find a way to write anything over the past few weeks. Who to blame? Boring short stories for English class. Honestly, I don't give a crap about anything we read because it is Canadian fiction, wake me up when we go back to Margaret Atwood please. A gift which is far too few these days. Until next blog, I might actually give something worth reading if I still don't have writer's block. Until then.
