Reading Blog 119-136

I found it interesting that Billy married Valencia although he really didn`t love her. It is strange that when Billy travels from his honeymoon to the night at the hospital in war time in both places is not simultaneous. In the time Billy went to the bathroom in his honeymoon he got to wake up go to a bathroom talk to Russian and find his way back to the hospital. Lazaro seems too weak to be the cause of death of anybody. Will he die soon? Or will he keep his word and kill both Billy and the Blue Fairy Godmother?
On the monograph of Howard Campbell I strongly agree with his critisicm towards the self pitty poor Americans have on theirselves. The lack of optimism and brotherhood among the poor classes is the cause for countries to have huge gaps in social classes and leads to the stagnation of a country´s develompent. This remembers me of the first draft of the declaration of independence where Thomas Jefferson stated that the human being had some inalienable rights among them was the "pursuit of happiness". If every single person in a society stops feeling sorry for him/her self and starts working hard for living better or solving his/her problems, the whole community`s way of life will improve and the country it self will improve.

I wonder what part of his life did Billy miss when he was abducted by the Tralfamadores. Also I think that he should talk with the actress to give more credibility to his abductions. It would be more difficult to judge Billy as an insane person if he has an actress backing up his story. Also there would be various witness that could confirm that they had been missing for several weeks. However, there is also an other posibility which is that all the time the passed with the Tralfamadores was just an instant here on earth so they wouldn`t have gone missing long enough for anybody to notice their absence. What else will happen in the abduction of Billy?
