up up up up down

supposed you had someone who was born blind, could he dream? would he see images of people, buildings, seas, mountains or animals? and most importantly, would he be able to dream in colour? if he couldn't, then techinically, he wouldn't be able to dream in black and white too, is it not, since they too are colours?
and on the other hand if he could dream, would he be dreaming with the images formed from his mind? which would then lead the human race to question- do you dream of/due to the physical and tangible objects you see and interact with everyday, or do you dream of/due to the equations, thoughts, ideas and the intangible scenery that you form in your head?
and why is it that us singaporeans do not go all ballistic with fervour and patriotism when we sing our national anthem, "Majulah Singapura", but yet, when we listen to songs like the Russian Red Army military march and "Rule Britania", and keep in mind that even though we are singaporeans, we feel all ready to go into battle and nationalism compacts our minds? thus, if this keeps up, we would then have to play these songs before we go to war, and of course, before a soccer match starts. simply absurd.
which leads me on to my next point, though i feel that this is open to debate and i would most probably lose, is that when an army goes to war, besides the weapons that the soldiers need to equip themselves with(which is quite an irony and a useless thing, since everything today can be decided by the push of a button), they would also need to be equipped with a good military anthem, one that will inspire them to march forth and not retreat, and also drive them into blind patriotism, leading them not to question the justifications of their killings and fightings but simply committing the act.
on a lighter note, there are new pics on the right hand side of my blog!! yay..haha, yes everyone, a little anti-climax here :)
