Here is a screed from the Screeder in Chief – just a heads up for my Blue Buds. Many of you have heroes in the race. Many of you shout the names and wear the shirts and rally at the rallies. There are two choices that I can see. Each one speaks different things to each of us. We hear what we want and we decide based on what we perceive are truths. Remember that politics consists of wish lists and promises by the candidates that cannot always be realized without many others horning in on the deal. “She is stupid. He is stupid. He lies. She lies.” You forget that this is how the game is played. I love your loyalties and arguments but I remind you that we MUST put Democrats back in charge. We MUST vote Blue. No matter who. We cannot abdicate our responsibility to this country by declaring for a candidate who may not wind up in the running. We are running for our lives. We cannot pout.
Support your choice and stay loyal right up until he or she is nominated. Then allow common sense, self-preservation and unity kick in. When the candidate is declared -if you must grit your teeth – grit them. But when you enter that private voting booth – consider all that your vote can do to change the morass the Loyal Opposition has created in the last 16 years. How they wasted the efforts of a good, decent and honest man because he was a good, honest, and decent BLACK man. How the Loyal Opposition released the bigots from the trees and hills and streets and police stations of this country and incited riots and violence and misogyny. How some were chosen – but most were excluded. Because of race, color or creed.
Speak your minds, support your choice, expound, extol and put forth your favorite but allow this fact stay in the mix: This is NOT a personality contest. This is not a nitpicking bee. This is not a horse race ‘place or ‘show are not options. This one is for the Rose Garden. So please, when election day arrives, VOTE BLUE. NO MATTER WHO.

We all have watched with a sort of sickening amazement as the economy hit bottom in the last few months (years?). I keep thinking of things that shouldn’t be surprising and yet people can’t seem to get a grip on some of them.
Houses. Back when house loans were being hawked like bean pies on every corner* – why on earth did anyone imagine a person with no money, no credit history, no ability to read the fine print (and in fact – who does?) should get a house? How did that concept become a good idea? I didn’t think it was a good idea but I have never wanted to own a house – nonetheless, uncounted numbers did and do and so they sold their soul to the devil, signed the ARM and got a chance to live in their car. Didn’t a little bell go off and say – this cannot be right? And people didn’t just go for little sheds – they wanted those big ugly tract homes with the wrong proportions and the wrong doors for their family of 4 or 5. I blame HGTV for that part. Flip That House, Flop This House, granite counters, work islands, hardwood floors. THE GREAT ROOM. Get real. Bigger and uglier is not always the way to go. Which came first – the big, ugly house, or the features that go with? Those dream houses are bad dreams and aftermath is a nightmare. It is hard to weep for folks too thick to say – whoa – too good to be true – but maybe it isn’t. It could have been me no matter what I believe inside.
And Detroit. Didn’t they see it coming? I did. I drive a really great used car. One owner; pristine, cheap and good on gas. I can even fit a baby seat should I need one and a dog crate – which I won’t. And this is L.A. – no one has sneered at me yet – but I have been pushed off the street frequently by morons in SUV’s texting and talking. The SUV’s are gas guzzlers and the phone use is just dangerous – I love the phones but if you’re going to text while driving – why can’t I do the NY Sunday Times crossword when I drive? Car lots are overflowing with unsold cars. How many can you drive at once. And why does the Miami-Dade CSI team need those Hummers? Maybe if the Big Three and their minions had worked harder at making cars and and less time patting each other the back we might actually know someone who’s driven a Ford lately.
Hybrid cars. I really want one for the obvious reason. I can’t afford one but it hasn’t stopped me from wanting one. People who do have them however have not been elevated to the Communion of Saints for their purchase. Driving smug is as dumb as the texting thing – you can’t really do it well. Hybrid owners drive smug. It totally negates the good thing the car represents. I am growing to hate the drivers while still loving the cars – that is some sort of Christian thing I do not understand.
Wall Street. Didn’t anyone read The Bonfire of the Vanities. Watched Wall Street? Yes you did. Three Card Monte artists in power ties and striped shirts. Short sales, puts, calls, brokerage, pork bellies, metals, in-is-der trading? I knew about this years before there were computers. We had separate phone just for the broker – at home. When every call to your broker was a chance to buy more dog stocks because the broker’s pitch was so alluring. Hedge funds (I still am not sure what they are but it cannot be legal). And while you bought – they bought and they spent and you paid and they lived large and you spent and they did not regulate themselves (as Alan imagined they would ) and now you may see them in front of Bloomingdale’s (Lex Ave doors) playing Three Card Monte for real. Your pension plan. Don’t even go there. You do not want to see it.
Bankrupt stores. Stores that sell cheap crap at inflated prices. Too many stores that sell cheap crap at inflated prices. Too many folks who are going broke trying to lure underpaid, overworked humans in to buy the cheap stuff. I want to blame China. It’s hard not to blame China but it’s not all China’s fault -in fact I should blame the vendors not the makers because we order it and they create it and we palm it off as “collectible” or “hot and “must have”. So while I am distraught for the many “Big Box” stores that are biting the big dust – didn’t they suspect something? In many cases I would say good riddance to cheap rubbish but the loss of jobs is what keeps me from too much Schadenfreude. I don’t think the loss of the giants will actually be so bad though – we may stop the imports from the outsources and try to make it here.
The Middle Class. Somewhere along the line the term “middle class” has become a filthy thing to be called. But it’s about the same as being a real person – and real is good. But no one wants to be middle class. Why not. Because you can’t be middle class and be a celebrity? You can be no class and be a star (No talent too). You lack importance? To whom? Here’s a clue – it’s not that important. You don’t want to be the underclass (which is actually the lower class in terms of income – most people do try to escape that) but why not middle class? Because in terms of cash flow you are just an Earth tad above the working poor and Space tad below the Very Rich. Yet you can have a high functioning brain and skills and be middle class. A real person. We pretend there is no class stratification in this country but it’s a lie. But in this country we confuse money with class. So we have a term for it – Nouveau Riche. Class is a state of mind that is okay. Politeness, good manners, speaking well (but not pontificating) and having a sense of style and taste gives you a classless sort of class – even dead broke. People who read for pleasure have class. Informed people have class. Black folks use a perfect term for it: “the way you carry yourself”. That is real class – middle class – and it’s not a bad thing. I would rather be known for the way I carry myself than for my bank account and what it buys. At this point in time – we, of the middle class have been around enough to be old money. One does not have to be to the manner born – it’s just a good idea to know what the manner is and learn from it. And enjoy being middle class. Real. We are the engine that runs the world. Even the president-elect says so.
.
Ratan Tata– If you don’t recognize the name – check Wikipedia. He shows us how the concept “Good thoughts Good Words Good Deeds” has actually worked for hundreds of years in a still developing country. He is very wealthy. I do believe he did not set aside his beliefs to get that way.
The Bailout. Hank Paulson should change his name to Brownie. His handling of the so-called Bailout is being handled about the same way Brownie handled Katrina. Someone please take the money away from Hank..
There’s more – but this is enough today What do you think?.
*The sale of bean pies by well dressed, polite young men on street corners still exists and I respect it greatly. That it exists only in certain areas is a statement about many other things. If you have a chance, though, buy one. Can’t find a corner – try a Shabazz Bakery.

According to his prepared testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Greenspan lamented that “those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder’s equity (myself especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief.”
Alan Greenspan – former disciple of Ayn Rand and former Chairman of the Fed
Why must we waste a perfectly lovely detention facility right in the luxurious Caribbean. Of course it should be emptied of foreign detainees who are there without representation or any other right to which they may be entitled (we might ask John Cain about being detained for 5 years without a lawyer). It seems these presumed terrorists (and I don’t doubt there are some there) are protected under several international acts that are reserved for presumed war criminals. We have overlooked these pacts for 6+ years despite being signatories of each one. We have created trumped up “acts” and rules to justify every sort of torture and deprivation imaginable. The same stuff we condemned loudly for decades when others did it. Apparently knocking down the WTC relieves us of every single law and rule in the book when it comes to enemy combatants. The George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld Law of Double Standards. It is my belief every person detained in that camp be channeled to a legally authorized facility with counsel available and allowed real justice to be meted out to each person based on facts and due process.
But we have this fabulous, large, working prison camp on balmy Guantanamo Bay – escape proof – like the Rock – and ready to go. Let’s not be hasty. Right here in this very country we have many yet to be indicted (but readily) indictable white collar crooks from our own terror locations right in New York, Washington and other large cities. These are referred to as CEO’s, Board Chairmans, Bankers, Mortgage lender and Hedge Funders. And of course political mischief makers. In fact they are all basically crooks. I might start filling the place with the people who destroyed Valerie Plame’s career. Next on my list would be the chairman of the Fed. The lovable and much respected Alan Greenspan who naively believed (because Ayn Rand said so?) that given a free reign – financial institutions would regulate themselves – no problem. If that were actually true then it would be the very first time in the history of the universe – since the Big Bang – such a thing ever happened. Even toddlers know that the king was in his counting house counting all his money. It makes me chuckle when I think of the gasps and moans folks let out whenever the Mafia is mentioned. All the bad things they do and how they rob and cheat and lie. Right. Even the mob has regulation – it may be harsh – but someone takes charge. Recently Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute for {Get Rich and Run with the Money – oops} – Individual Rights said that Atlas Shrugged had foreseen it all. That the government was at fault – oh crap – you read it:
Washington, D.C. –“Despite overwhelming evidence that government policies caused the current financial crisis, Congress is blaming businessmen,” said Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights. “What’s worse, the capitalists who have been shackled with unprecedented regulatory burdens are unable to defend themselves morally. Though the events are different, this pattern of abuse and submission is straight out of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.
“The cycle starts with government intervening into the economy and imposing regulations and controls on business. This distorts the free market, leading to economic dislocations. When the problems caused by these distortions inevitably follow, everyone blames the free market and its greedy capitalists. The proposed solution? More government controls. Over the years, conservative critics of creeping government have repeatedly exposed this illogic but have always been helpless to explain why the cycle keeps repeating, decade after decade.
“The pattern keeps recurring because businessmen are willing to take the blame. From capitalism’s inception, its defenders have been morally disarmed by the widespread view that self-interest is morally suspect, and disinterested service to others is a moral ideal. So each new spate of controls has been grudgingly accepted as a fair price to pay for society’s toleration of the selfish pursuit of profit.
“Atlas Shrugged depicted a society in economic collapse due to this recurring cycle, and today’s parallels are obvious. Government manipulation of money, credit, and lending standards over several decades caused the mess we’re in. Now, the offered solution is more of the poison that sickened the economy–more bailouts, more cheap money, more government-guaranteed loans, and above all, more regulations.
“This chronic cycle will not end until businessmen accept that their production of profit is neither immoral nor amoral–it is the capstone of moral virtue. Once they shrug off the role of scapegoat, businessmen can demand with moral certitude that government punish fraud and enforce contracts but refrain from interfering with voluntary trades among consenting adults.
“When America’s markets are finally free of all coercion–in other words, when laissez-faire is achieved–financial crises such as the one we’re experiencing will never happen again.”
Basing the current crisis on this rationale is not going to produce many guilty pleas in Federal Courts. But there will be trials and there will be verdicts and yes, Virginia, people will go to jail.
Why not turn the ugly history of Gitmo into a place that houses the people that did this to our nation – not alleged enemy combatants – but greedy, cheating, lying men and women who should know what it’s like to lose your home, your family, your income, your future, your sanity as you fill their bottomless pit of greed. Let them live in a little bitty cell – like the family car has become an itty bitty cell for the unemployed, disenfranchised, hopeless and homeless taxpayers of this country. I would suggest a dress code – jumpsuits of khaki and oxford blue. And cheap tacky slip-ons. Nutritious food with no flavor and no variety. No wine. No bottled water. Minimal health care ( just like everyone else’s) and no Ayn Rand tomes. Let them know that Atlas has indeed shrugged and it has all landed on them. Envision these detainees in the tropical splendor of Cuba’s southeastern shores hunting endlessly for John Galt as they try to jump start the engine of the world perpetually in motion but only in their direction.
Guantanamo Prison Camp is too symbolic and too perfect to be closed and made into a museum – who would actually visit it owing to its location and the situation in Cuba? But as a slammer. It’s just perfect. Please share your thoughts on this idea.
And, if you are fans, supporters or believers in Ayn Rand and her Objectivism – you are welcome to comment – but I am personally not interested in her philosophy. I have read her books and taken in her website and considered her views. She is not my cup of tea. I will read your comments but I will not post screeds, rants, apologies or propaganda on her ideas. Sorry – but I did it once before and I found it distasteful.

Part Two
Here is why Mormon money and Prop 8 don’t work for me. I loathe hypocrisy and I loathe deception and I really don’t like sneaky, secretive old white men telling people that “God said _____________” Fill in the blank. The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints has some gall, colossal nerve and sinister smugness trying to shove this holier than thou crap on the public. And the use of the word “traditional”really seals the deal for me. Let’s look at Mormon marriage. Mormons take marriage very seriously. Which is fine. But instead of a joyful family celebration, Mormon weddings tend to be bleak and depressing. Don’t let the Youtube Mormon wedding videos fool you. That is all done before the rites take place. Things get dramatically, well, dramatic once the man and woman leave the safety of kith and kin and enter the Sanctum Sanctorum. Instead of trying to describe in my own words I direct you to this link that will really leave you speechless. (Complete with circles and arrows and “the secret garment”). FYI:They also wear a fig leaf when getting hitched). http://http://www.lds-mormon.com/veilworker/endowment1.shtml
By my own standards this is anything but “traditional” marriage as I have come to know it. It is secret (and therefore it may be silly and/or shameful) and exclusionary and frankly odd. Most Gay couple just have a wedding or go to City Hall. Most straight people do too. Orthodox Jewish weddings are quite ritualized but anyone can watch. Mormonism is a faith founded on polygamy by its “Prophet Joseph Smith” and some writing that he translated from “Reformed Egyptian” in secret. In 1890, to become a state in the union it banned plural marriage. Not very well apparently because it is still practiced by some Mormon Americans in defiance of numerous laws. FYI – when it says “plural marriage – it means wives. Woman don’t have plural husbands and they don’t have equal rights. Neither do children. They also swap wives in these fundamentalist sects – but the women don’t get to say yes or no.) To have been audacious enough to support a change to the California constitution to exclude human citizens from marriage should strike you as hilarious on many levels – it isn’t. Prop 8, it is claimed, was done for moral reasons. A religion based on secret ceremonies and handshakes; marrying dead people to each other so they will be together in Heaven for eternity so they will land on the planet Kobol and become God makes them uniquely unqualified to tell other folks how to live their lives by my moral standards. But then I don’t judge gay people who want to get married. We have separation of church and state and I don’t believe religious money,influences, groups and advocates should have standing to amend any constitution in this country. It inflicts religious behavior on America citizens. I think lawmakers should make the laws for everyone. Same sex marriage threatens NO ONE. The LDS should be ashamed of itself and I suggest they ay not stop at Prop 8. In closing ,I also think that having Mormon missionaries at your door qualifies as a Close Encounter of the Third Kind. You may even find yourself beamed up. Gay trekkies take note.

I have no health insurance. Period. I have an untreatable disease that ideally should be monitored about twice a year and biopsied about every five years. My last biopsy – in 2003 was under insurance and cost $10,000. It came out better than hoped for and so I dodged a bullet. I should have another one but I don’t have the money. Even if I did, I have the “pre-existing condition” that no one even looked for 16 years ago. I could (not will , but I might ) cost some insurance company a lot of money in the future and they are not in the business of healthcare they are in the business of mismanaging funds and saying “no”. I am a bad risk.
I am fortunate to live in a city where a serious, full time Free Clinic, treats anyone – not anything – but enough to get you through the year. It is supported by endowments, donations (large and small) and the time and energy of real doctors who do at least a rotation there. Philanthropists and humanitarians. I get blood work once a year to let me know if I am about to need major surgery or if I have developed a worse condition known as cancer. So far I have been lucky. Waiting in the clinic is not a hardship nor is being assembly lined through. The fact is that the care is more personal and considerate than the average doctor visit. I am going for this year’s blood test next week. My feeling is that it will be okay. If not, it doesn’t matter because I can’t afford to treat it or try to fix it or do anything but have it become worse. So maybe I am a tiny bit concerned.
This is not a cry for sympathy – it is what 47 million Americans, including myself) face every day. It is a result of managed care which should be in the hands of doctors not number crunchers. I should get the same care as a Senator who technically is my employee. One should not have to work to get the benefit of insurance. I wonder – is it really your employer’s job to care for your health? I am not informed enough to say. I can’t fathom who is greedier, Blue Cross (and its ilk) or Doctor Somebody and his malpractice insurance payments or the government who things it is pinko to have healthy citizens. I do know that $5000 a year tax credit is a dirty joke coming from a man with millions. The older you get the more you need care. Starting at about fifty. The ludicrousness of shopping for insurance is insulting. The only person you should be concerned with choosing is your doctor. Insurance companies decide who gets what treatment and they don’t use common sense or kindness to do it. We are the only developed country that does not insure their citizen’s health. This makes us underdeveloped in a very basic way. Does a nation of healthy people make us socialists? Okay – call me names. I still would rather be a healthy American than dead at an early age because of nomenclature and labels.

Tags: Atlantic City, Beauty Queen, Christian, fatal cancer, John McCain, nothin' to lose, Proverbs, Rush Limbaugh, Sally Sixpack, Sarah Palin
Sally Sixpack has figured out an odd way to help her running mate win the election.; something I think running mates are supposed to do. On Rush Limbaugh today she declared “she had nothing to lose” by saying the things she has said publicly for the last week or so. Well, Sally – here’s a tip – John McCain has poured millions of dollars into trying to win the White House – he has stumped all over the country while you had secret babies and a knocked up teenager and abuses of power on your tiny plate and your tiny mind. McCain is 72 – let’s face it – he tires more easily than someone in their 40’s. So while he was out busting his ass to win friends and influence people, build a war chest, narrow the field and win the GOP nomination – you were having your nails done and charging the taxpayers for travel time you didn’t even use. You are absolutely correct though. “You got nothin’ to lose” You haven’t spent millions of dollars of your money on fund raisers or McCain rallies to try for the brass ring. All you have is a bully pulpit, a big mouth and a nice rack. Whatever kind of Christian you claim to be is one who is certainly not very well acquainted with Scripture but in the book of Proverbs 10:18 this is way it’s said :
, “He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” So Sally – you appear to be a fool on a fool’s errand betraying even the poor man who so foolishly chose you to run with him. You got nothin’, you got nothin’ to loose. If you had an ounce of dignity and compassion you would make yourself invisible and step down. (Thanks Bob).
So this is what I think Sally, you are a fake. You are a has been beauty queen. You are a mean girl. You are the worm in the apple and the aftertaste in diet soda. And it used to be annoying but now it’s become dangerous – more dangerous than Bill Ayers, more dangerous than the name Hussein and way more dangerous than poor, shaky John McCain ever imagined. You are costing Senator McCain his bid at the White House. And even worse you are the still first runner up and will be crowned Miss America if he dies in office. I am a Democrat and hope he loses, but God, woman. What is wrong with you? I am thinking that this is your walk down the runway of life – going for the crown and the roses and getting a free trip to Atlantic City. You were nobody before and here’s the best part- you’ll be nobody and a joke soon. You need to get offa’ the ticket and ride outta’ town. Like Lou Reed sang back in the day:
Ride, sally, ride
It’s not your time, it’s just your confusion
Ride, sally, ride
It’s not your time …….
David Brooks who called you a fatal cancer was not far off. Rude, nasty, cruel – then take a look at yourself. He was being kind.

This world, today, is a terrifying spot to be in, I have created a non-sectarian, plea to whomever you wish to ask for aid and succor. Please feel free to share it.
“Dear Person of Power in the Spiritual Plane:
Please keep me from ever being in a financial position or a tax bracket that makes voting for a Republican ever seem like the right thing to do. Keep me solvent but liquid, keep me concerned for my fellow man and not my Board of Directors and please, whatever you do, bring Barack Obama to the White House. And when you have done that please pick a house and send John McCain to it and throw away the key. Strap Sally Six-Pack in a dog sled and mush her back to Juneau and deliver us from having this sort of crap exist.
Forever.
Amen”

Sally Six-Pack has maneuvered herself between a rock and a hard place on
a melting ice floe. Look at the multi-tasking list she has made for herself in this election:
Governor of the Great State of Alaska
Former Mayor of Metropolitan Wasilla
Former Beauty Queen
Soccer Mom
Hockey Mom
Mom of a Special Needs Child
Mom of a Pregnant Teenage Daughter
Mom of a Soldier
Committed Christian (not sure what that means but she is one)
Gun lover
VP candidate
Supporter of Secession for the Great State of Alaska
Show runner for McCain Campaign
Mrs. Malaprop.
Hottie
Hate Mongerer
Name caller
Faithful wife of First Dude (really?)
Cronyist
And, as of yesterday – an abuser of Political Power.
And if that’s not enough, last week, Sarah Palin made the cover of Newsweek this week and already folks are crying foul. Damn – I know plenty of people out here in TV land that would run a Hummer over a baby just to make the cover of Newsweek. What the hell is up with people – it’s a great close up shot – she looks age appropriate – in fact better, especially after five kids and all that sun damage out shooting caribou in the Great State of Alaska. So what’s the problem. Eeee-oooo – we can see a crow’s foot. Someone forgot to Photo shop her into a glamour kitten. Well, here the rub: Sal cannot have it both ways. Either she is a soccer mom married to Joe Six-pack – with a face untouched by Botox or she is a beauty queen who can’t actually wear heels and gloves at the same time. And it’s not even BOTH ways – She wants it every way. Check out her list above. Sarah’s acolytes expect her to be all those things and more and Sarah just eggs them on. (Oh and plus a politician and one with a brain too.). Well – in that case – you really cannot have it every which way you choose. The mere fact that Snarky Sally Six-pack got the cover of Newsweek should make her family and all her misguided followers thrilled. If we are lucky – after Nov 5, we will not see her again for many a moon.
New accusations by the Washington Post of her hate speech and slur mongering fuel the fire too. The cover of Newsweek is the least of her worries and ours. Sally Six-pack should have a sock stuffed in her mouth until the election is over and her presumptive running mate should keep running his and alienate even his closest friends on “both sides of the aisle.” One sings, the other doesn’t.

The Sarah Palin Chronicles – The Pop Quiz
Time’s up – Sarah has dazzled them with her charm, wit and wacky views on reality. Now it’s time for the Dems to stop the grinnin’ and drop the linen. Find a way to defuse an out of control reaction to a pure wack job and win the election. Aren’t you sick of her? I am and therefore I am hoping to end the SP Chronicles today (if it’s possible) by requesting answers from her to the following questions:
If you do not believe in abortion for any reason – how do you propose that women made mothers by force or apathy will support and raise their children with less social programs and no support system in place? What is your response to a doctor insisting it must be done for the life of the mother or both will die?
What do you think has caused Global Warming if not the presence of man and man-made problems. If you believe that God has done it – why do you think he has chosen now to do it?
Do you think that the Middle East War is equivalent to the Crusades?
Why does God want this if the Muslims also believe in one God.
Why do you pray that there is a plan as if you are doubtful?
Would you allow anyone’s creationism (basically the religious basis for the presence of man on earth) to be taught in public schools? There are many different theories in religious belief of the Creation. Would you be all inclusive and also allow Darwin to be taught. Would you allow Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, Inuit, Santeria, Voudou and all the others to be explored. If not, why?
How would you feel if you were not allowed to marry the person you loved?
What if you had Gay children and they did not “change”?
Do you agree with David Brickner that terrorism in Israel is punishment for the Jews? If so, why?
Where do the Jews fit in your beliefs?
Where do the Catholics fit?
Since the “Bible” was written centuries ago in Aramaic and other languages – how do you justify that the words in an English bible are literally the spoken word of God?
Do you believe in the Rapture?
Why does your sect think that this country is a Christian nation?
Who has said this and is in a position of authority to make this a statement not an opinion?
Do you think the Founding Fathers were heathens?
Do you think that God speaks to you directly?
If intelligent design should turn out to be extraterrestrial in origin and not God given – will that be okay with you?
Where do you think Polar Bears will live without their necessary environment? How will they thrive and increase their numbers?
If we are trying to redeem the earth, why not put our energy into better energy than anyone’s oil?
I think these are salient points that she should answer them without a script.
Immediately after they are all answered clearly I think we should step back and reassess how she fits into the running of this country. There is still time to make changes and those with courage should be able to decide if changes are in order.
Missionary work has shown to be very detrimental to the non-believers who are converted by the “do it or else” method. Christianity in its extremist incarnations has ruined many fine civilizations and methods of government. Inasmuch as Christianity – no matter how the believers spin it – is not even monotheistic – we might have done far better with more, rather than less deities.
Whatever you believe, believe this – Sarah Palin is a bad choice for Vice President and she needs to be available to answer my questions and anyone else’s before we all find ourselves rolling on the floor and speaking in tongues.
I don’t seem to get any comments on these posts – I welcome them and I would really like to hear comments on this one.
