Has anyone besides me fond it odd that there has been a noticable increase in the number of coal mine accidents in the US and around the world, even with the technological advances in safety? There has also been a paralle increase in the number of crane accidents...... you think the powers to be may not like those activities? The extreme weather in the US(presently the biggest destructer of Earths ecosystems)is far greater than any felt elsewhere. Those tornados seem to go north but stop at the Canadian boarder and south to the Mexican boarder, but not enter???? The past few years the extreme droughts and massive floods in the US tend to be localized in the Farm belt where most of our agiculture(another favorite of mother nature)is. What really amazes me is that there is and has been, going back to his fathers administratioin, an ovious collaberation between the Bush family, who reside in the bosom of the American oil industry and The Royal family of Saudi Arabia (supplies 40% of the worlds oil). When George Bush took office prices were at 22/barrel and now are at 139/barrel and still rising! How has thier relationship managed to operate under the rader of public scutiny is beyond me!!

Jesus would not like the world today! I believe he would feel a great sense of saddness and failure. Jesus was given unto us and dedicated his life in the pusuit of goodness. He did not force one to believe by shear threat of etenal damnation but rather by giving himself as an example of how to walk, live and interact in and with the world. He was not perfect and he told of so... but, no one would listen. They could, but would not, understand that the he was just a human being born of flesh form a woman, no different than anyone else. He was not better or given anything, that we all were not given, at birth. The true knowledge of what is right and just are born unto all of us. They are not taught and can not be learned. If you were to isolate a child at birth and raise him/her without the teachings that we are all subject, both in the formal sense and in the world at large, that child would inheirtly know right from wrong and good from evil. Jesus was expected to be perfect and therefor allowing us to accept imperfection of ourselves. That is contrary to what his teachings were ment to illuminate. Nothing is perfect and that is ultimately important to understand how life evolves. The example, If gentics were perfect then there would never be mutation and then there wouldn't have been "natural selection". Without that we wouldn't be here today, or surely atleast not in the same form. It is the imperfections that make each and everyone one perfect. Jesus was exploited then and even more so today! That which, in his actions as a guide, he born, preached and left for all to help point them in the "right" direction on how to live, has been thrown to the dirt and trampled on. His name and likeness are used in ways he never intended. The instution of religion, the same one he rebelled against and would be crucified by, has taken on a life of it own in a self perpetuation. Jesus did not aquire wealth to make his statement, he aquired resources by which he used to help those in need of help. No million dollar mansions and rolls royces were purchased by the offerings of people who opened up their hearts and wallets, not because they were told to or made believe that by giving they would be saved, but given because he gave them the ability to feel others pain and suffering, and ulitimately the warmth of compassion. No one was excluded because they were of one sort or another. He demaned nothing and was given everthing. He was crucified not because of who he was, but for who he wasn't and inversely, We will all "go to hell" not because of who we aren't or precieved to be, but who we REALLY are! Hell is how others see you and how you will be remembered. Thats it! No firey gates or demons with whips, no your are left with the eternal knowledge that you were thought of in a dark way and no way to correct it, negitive in a positive world, because you took more than you gave. Too many of us have taken and taken and returned nothing.. the viod that is being created will swallow us all!

CONGATS OBAMA! Hopefuilly that will be the end of one Race complaining about their place in this beautiful place called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. With all things considerd it is still the greatest nation on the planet. We make mistakes collectively as a nation, no different than mistakes made by each and every one of us. Yes, they are on a grander scale, but so are our triumps. Triumps, like being the first nation to show up any where in the world when disaster strikes. We give the most and stay the longest when other nations cry out for help. The triumps of late hough have been "Bush"wacked! It's time to step back, regroup and then begin to calm a World that is tearing it's self apart. Once that has been done, we then can lead the world towards healing it's self. Then and only then will we, our children, our neighbors and the rest of mankind believe in the goodness and strenght of the Human Race and be willing to make the self sacrifes that are needed to secure a future! It's America who will lead the world because no one else can or will. Our nation is facing some of the toughest fights it's ever had to fight. Like finding the cures for our own crumbling society and in process lending other nations help to do the same, all the while fending off the worst threat that our species and the planet has ever faced. A total enviornment breakdown! McCain, I'm sorry but with all that said, your are just to "old" school to rally the World to save it's own ass!

The problem comes when they change from white with black spots to black with white spots. There is a new tool used by politicians to mask who they "really" are. Just when we thought we had all the tricks exposed, they pull another one from the hat. I said what I mean, but I don't mean what I said ....? Huh? Come again? Well, to be more specific, I said what your heard, but what you heard was taken out of "context". OH OK, WHAT! Is it any wonder anymore how we got where we are? In the middle of the mess. If you listen to ANY of the speeches from ANY politician today you will leave with a "strange" feeling. You know the kind of feeling that would require an extended time In the shower scrubbing oneself. The different networks also add to this "strange" feeling bye breaking down the speech, selecting "soundbites" and then inviting a panel that has been briefed before to the questions and if they don't "See" it the way the station sees it they won't get to smile for the camera. I have had my fill of Mis-remembering, mis-interpiting, mis-hearing, mis-appropriations(stealing),mis-placed(stealing-ilke the 12 billion in CASH sent to Iraq to jump start the economy was mis-placed?) and now after all I just wrote, I truely hope it's not "taken out of context!"

The very moment that the shackles were removed from slavery in America they were reattached to the entire society! And the burden of those have cut a deep divide into the legs that are needed to move us forward. I think it's disgrace and saddens me deeply to be in the heated racial divide we are in at this moment in time. I have wasted too much time posting about "this"(I will never again use the ism word)all ready that could have been better served on real issues! Today, right this second, we could step out of those shackles and into a world where it only matters who you are as a person and what contributions you can make to better a world that is tearing its self apart. Crumbling at your very feet and in order to prevent a TOTAL COLLAPSE THAT WILL END ALL OUR DIFFERENCES AND PROBLEMS ALONG WITH LIFE ITSELF we will need everyone's help. Those in the world that hold the key to the locks are a relatively small group. They protect that key, because once the locks are open, they serve no purpose anymore. These self perpetuating, self serving hatemongers are fanning the flames and grinning from ear to ear, While we all dance around the bonfire covered in war paint. Why, do we have BET? Would it be all right to have WET? The million man march would not be perceived as a good thing if it was promoted as a "White" thing. It's NOT ok! I am not going to beat around the bush(I would like to beat Bush!) anymore, nor should anyone else in fear that we might be Perceived as "ist"( another word I will never use). Slavery was an evil act carried out by white men and there is no denying it. Those that refuse to give the people the key are equally as evil! Luis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Malik Shabaz( head of the Black Panthers)and Jeremiah Wright are those people! They must be stopped! These individuals are preventing progress and they love it! Obama HAS lost the election(A horrible shame) not because he was Black(he won Iowa and it's 97% white vote) Not because he attended a church that has a radical preacher that spews hatred, but because he is afraid of "THOSE" hate mongers! And thinks(wrong) that they are powerful enough to make or brake his run for President. Condi Rice, got where she got without them, Colin Powell got where he got without them, The CEO of one of the largest corporations in America got where he got without them, The two coaches in last years Superbowl got there without them, The commander of one of the recent shuttle missions didn't get their help! AND THEY ALL GOT WHERE THEY ARE INSPITE OF THOSE HATE MONGERS! Time to stop waiting for the key, IF we all pull together and we will snap those shackles off! Those in the "Black community" (that too must end, we must all be a community) that are trying to justify what that hateful, angry no purpose being a "Man of the Cloth" preacher said. They Jesse Jackson, Rev. Cloyd, and many others who say his words were taken "OUT OF CONTEXT"!! Was Imus's one statement taken out of context? That only bits and pieces of his sermons are being shown! Do we really need to hear more? Had that speech been in a "White" church with David Duke(KKK Grand Poo Ba) telling a white congregation everything in reverse, would that be taken "Out of Context"? Enough already!!! Wright is a person of hate and should be shunned by both communities as was Imus if we ever are to become one! And until then I will not post another word about the issue ever again! It's Ok to say that they don't want to hear that ever again, they wont be shunned from any community contrary to what a few might want them to believe!
