I had to jump in here as well. Here's some food for thought for everyone, Let's Imagine - It's time to choose a world leader, a next door neighbor, or someone to give 'a license to reproduce' to. Here's the scoop on three leading candidates. Candidate A: + Associates with ward healers and consults with astrologists. + He's had two mistresses. + He chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B: + Was kicked out of office twice. + Sleeps until noon. + Used opium in college. + Drinks a quart of brandy every evening. Candidate C: + Is a decorated war hero. + He's a vegetarian + Doesn't smoke, + Drinks an occasional beer + Hasn't had any illicit affairs. Which of these candidates is your choice? You don't really need any more information, do you? Scroll down. Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt Candidate B is Winston Churchill Candidate C is Adolph Hitler While it might make us feel better to look for simplistic solutions to our troubles, the fact remains, if it were that simple, we wouldn't have these problems to begin with. I think it is a complex mix of circumstances which causes an autrocity like the shootings in Colorado, or, for that matter, Kosovo. Intolerance breeds hatred which breeds violence. Many outstanding people have risen above terrible home environments. We all applaude when this happens. Why is not the opposite possible? Why do we assume the worst? I don't know the parents of those two boys in Colorado, but my heart goes out to them as well as to the other victims of this terrible crime.
