I am going to step back for a minute and look at the news. 1000 dead on a bridge in Iraq. England bombed. Madrid bombed. More hurricanes in the Atlantic. Wars and rumors of wars. I consider myself undecided about spiritual matters when it comes to Christianity, Hinduism, Mohammedism, Buddhism or any other number of beliefs one chooses to put ones faith or belief system behind. (long sentence, sorry) I do believe in the right to free choice in religion and thought. I find myself awake nights wondering what happened to this basic right. Where did the obligation I have as an American to inspect facts and reality to come to a decision go? Does that mean that I am required to suspend my political or spiritual belief in that inspection of facts? I do not think so. It is my obligation to use all resources, such as religion which gives me a basis in ethics and humanity. After all was not Christ the one that brought Love as the way? Using love as my filter and observing what happened to our country in the last week, I have come to believe that we as human beings with certain rights have lost our country to thiefs. The thief of profit The thief of greed The thief of judgement I have had my humanity stolen from me. By television ads and new cars. I have trapped myself into believing any of that matters. And it takes thousands dying to make me see the error in my ways. We are all one family of Americans. And a vast number of our family have just died. Perhaps as many as ten thousand. And we watched them die. We all watched them die. And my heart is broken. And I am ashamed. I am ashamed that I watched this. Knowing that we as Americans could have saved so many more of them. Some will read this and see a mellow dramatic statement. Designed to make people believe what I want you to believe. But the truth is. I don't give a damn what any of you believe. I could not care less. It is your right to believe anything you want. That is what is so bloody cool about America. Where did that go? I want it back. I want to believe in America again. So I will inspect the facts and decide for myself. I hope you do the same. Our country depends upon this. Bill
