Here’s another example of my incoherent, rambling writings:

I am very conservative in many ways and liberal in some but humanity trumps conservatism.  No hungry person I have ever made contact with leaves me hungry.   A little bag of food to someone who is hurting is not going to make or break me.  I hope in the end I am judged by my treatment of the least fortunate among us.

Suppose a couple of guys come up to you, take you into custody and hold you for the rest of your life...no phone call, no lawyer, no judge, no jury...not even charges placed against you.  You never see your son, daughter, wife, mother, father, grandparents again or anyone else you know for that matter.  This is where george and dick have taken this country. It has been a long struggle to reach this conclusion as there have been so many examples of homeland security violations above and beyond inconveniences. Habeas corpus is the bloodline of American juris prudence.  To paraphrase Ben Franklin, those who would sacrifice their civil rights for safety have neither.

As to stem cell research, no one is calling for breeding to develop embroyos for dissection.  Where is the logic in refusing to use those available to help mankind when the alternative is to sweep them down the drain in a symbolic spring cleaning fashion?  I have great hope for the newly developed skin cell research which would eliminate the need for the embryonic stem cells.  I resent bitterly the holding back of promising research for flitty religious beliefs especially when it may be yours or my Mother suffering from a debilitating disease that could be helped. Personal association with something always tends to alter the attitude.  Only hypocrites like bush claims to love the baby while crucifying the man. 

Fascism is defined as government controlled by corporations.   Exxon corp. alone takes in money faster than the U.S. Government prints it...about 20 oil lobbyists in D.C. for every congressmen.  Cheney's secret energy plan...we don't even know who attends his meetings much less what happens.  There is no right to secrecy here!

This brings us to the "war."   Many people have never seen men physically and mentally traumatized to the point of not even knowing their name... smelled the stench of rotting human flesh.. smelled human flesh burning... seen the grimace in a new orphan's eye or that of a widow...when your own life hangs in a precarious balance. Obviously, I hope you never visit these situations.

Finally, “Christian” republicans and/or “Christian” democrats are oxymorons. About 10 percent oxy and 90 per cent moron. Religions and politics butt heads at every turn.  For republicans to somehow claim they are the "real christians" is utterly preposterous.  Democrats who would make similar claims are just as loony.  Those who pray for us to win the war aloud are silently praying that those on the other side are mangled, killed and that their wives/husbands/kids become widows, widowers, and orphans.  Only a prayer for piece would be justified in my eyes, and I assume, in the eyes of Jesus, God, Buddha, Ali or the sacred cow.

I am fully aware that none of us will leave this world alive.  Thus, quality of life should be foremost in our lives.  Using cells to try to help people, cells that are to be dumped down a sink is not herecy, immoral, or bad.  Degrading a degradable president does not lessen one's patriotism nor allegiance to the flag.  Righteousness is not in the eyes of the beholder but in the heart of mankind. Enough is enough. I regret severely ever standing behind a president and fellow liars who never had anything tangible to offer. Hi William

Pleasant dreams.
