Got to go...

I love the bright lights, the stage, the performing of whatever sort. So, if somebody want to stage any form of production, I'm in. And one school which I go to (madonna that makes me sound like a schoolgirl, and no, no dirty ideas here) has The Jungle Book on its menu. Perrrfect. I like menus and I like Jungle Book. And I also love Bagheera, seeing that that is what I named my black cat after. But something has made me tick. And it's got to go. I've seen enough Holocaust projects dangling on the notice board. Most inevitably end with a, "And Hitler died by etc etc etc." Why is that so important. I'd write "And finally the son of a bitch died and left everyone in peace". I could also write "And the bastard died and may he rot in hell." I don't care how he died, the important thing is that he died. I don't care how his Eva died, the main thing is that she did too. But it seems the method is so important that it's in almost every project book. And we try to shield the little people from so many less harmless things, and yet we throw this in their face. And to people like me, it matters. Now I do not in any way like Hitler, but throwing the way he died so liberally? Little people can have parents, relatives who died by the same way. And they weren't bad people like Hitler, at the very least if I cannot judge Hitler as the person, I can judge the horrid things he did. As for Jungle Book, the final lines have got to go. We Maltese people sometimes have horrific phrases for things which are otherwise harmless. Forgive me, this bitch is sometimes a sensitive one.
