An open letter to Cindy Sheehan

Wed, 2007-05-30 14:22 — Loftlore

Dear Cindy:

Last night Keith Olbermann told me that you have moved to a place of personal peace. I can certainly understand. Sometimes it seems to me that the only way to change our guilty species is by means of a rock from outer space. Our endless war is evidence that humans are no better than other beasts. We are as ripe for extenuation as the dinosaurs ever were. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to wipe clean man's guilty history and start fresh. Educating humans is a hopeless, thankless task. You gave it a noble try, Cindy. Thank you, mother Sheehan You are among the best of us all.
Nevertheless I didn't want you to leave without telling you about my debt to you. I quite probably owe you my life. At the least I owe you my new life.

What has George W. Bush wrought?

What has George Bush wrought?
While watching Joe Scarborough of MSNBC last night (May 1st 2007) it occurred to me that George W. Bush has wrought many changes in the American political landscape. I imagine that almost all of these changes were unintentional.

Dick Cheney at eighteen percent!

Thu, 2007-04-26 09:18 — Loftlore

Recent polls show support for Dick Cheney at eighteen percent. Of course it is amusing to see support for this tyrant at such rock-bottom levels. Obviously it's laughable that Cheney has even a single supporter. That's not the point. The point is who are these people? There is a lesson to be learned here and it's an important one.
Who are these people? Who continues to support Dick Cheney (and by association, the President)? What should be done? Should these people be engaged in debate? If you do you will be wasting your time, time better spent stopping them. Should we teach them the error of their ways? "If they haven't learned by now," the saying goes. These dead-enders, to borrow a phrase, are people who would, for example, support the use of torture. Torture! Think about it!
