Excerpted from Peggy Noonan's op-ed in today's WSJ. Ms. Noonan spoke of the recent shootings in the CO high school and of the culture of death in which young people today are immersed. <<A man called into Christian radio this morning and said a true thing. He said, and I am paraphrasing: Those kids were sick and sad, and if a teacher had talked to one of them and said, "Listen, there's a way out, there really is love out there that will never stop loving you, there's a real God and I want to be able to talk to you about him"--if that teacher had intervened that way, he would have been hauled into court. ... One more thing: I think every intelligent person I know has been having thoughts like this for years, and they don't want to, and they're right not to want to, because it just may be true that this is one problem our resourceful and brilliant country cannot solve. The dark genie is out of the bottle, and swims in the seas. I'll tell you who could make some progress though, maybe. Hillary Clinton. All the big media people, the owners and anchors, the studio heads and producers, the creators and disseminators, they all admire her. They support her. She could talk to them, She could ignite a "national conversation." She could get tough. She could take names. It might cost her--they give her money. But she's an important member of the community. And you know, it takes a village. >> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Would anyone care to lay a wager on the odds of Hillary doing something like that?? But hey, she's reported to be so "courageous" ... Larry P.S. Nobody on the national political scene has so exemplified the idea of acting out one's fantasies in disregard for the consequences and for who might be hurt so much as Hillary's husband, Honest Bill. I wonder if there is a connection between the kind of leadership displayed by said husband and the tragedy that transpired in Littleton, CO recently.

Larry, Reference: New World Order What would scare me is the potential abuse of the power structure of such an organization. Once an organization like this is set-up, it becomes difficult to rectify mistakes. It places too much power in the hands of too few people. Individual rights would be suppressed in favor of a socialist agenda. But the power concentration could be a disaster. Heck, we can't even remove a criminal President in the US, how would we expect to correct or remove a mistake in World Government. Andrew Jackson once said, "those who are governed best are those who are governed less". I think those words are still true today. Darrell
