I decry all those who would protest against all things for which they have no present need.
E.g., Stem Cell Research. For when their own time of need arrives, they will excuse all previous objections, religious or otherwise, to satisfy their personal and regnant need.

Survival
If today's world societies are so advanced, why is it that they -we, spend the majority of their -our, time and money devising weapons to defend themselves -ourselves, against others of their -our, kind?
It is apparent that TRUST is not any part of anyone's plan for world survival!

A Toast to the Republican Party
Here's to those wonderful people who gave us the Draft-dodging buffoon, George W. Bush, the cowardly Draft dodger, Dick Cheney, two unnecessary and un-winnable wars -wars that have caused the deaths of over 5,000 of our intrepid Military Personnel and the Maiming, for life, of tens of thousands of others, an unabated destruction of our environment, catastrophic unemployment and an economic disaster that almost caused world-wide bankruptcy. All this in a slavish effort to further satisfy the insatiable Greed of their Special Interest proprietors.
To you, Sirs and Madams of the Bush/Cheney administration and all culpable members of the congress and senate: May God allow the thoughts of the horror that you have brought upon this Country, its citizens, upon the war dead and the maimed, upon their families and friends, to always interfere with your peace of mind!

Only one time around for all!
Thomas O. Nass’ Paraphrase and Enhancement of W.C. Lowdermilk , U.S. Dept of Agriculture 1948, from "Conquest of the Land Through 7,000 Years"This Holy Earth
Thou shall inherit this Holy Earth as a Faithful Steward, respecting, protecting and conserving its Environment, its Resources and its Productivity for future generations.
Thou shall safeguard its Fields from erosion; its Soils and sub-Surface from Chemical Saturation; its Waters, its Ground Waters and its Air from Pollution and over-heating. Its Oceans from over fishing; its Forests from desolation; its Mineral Resources from depletion; its Hills from overgrazing by thy herds and its Creatures from extinction, so that thy descendants may enjoy its abundance as once did thee.
All Nations do share in the Ownership of this Holy Earth. Ergo, if any Nation or its leaders should fail in the responsibilities of their Stewardship, then all of thy Crop land shall become sterile ground with wasting gullies; thy waters unfit to drink; thy air too thick to breath; the meat of thy herds and thy flocks, as the spawn of thy waters and thy oceans, unfit to eat. If any of the above should come to pass, then thy descendants shall gradually diminish in their number and eventually depart from off the face of this Holy Earth.
Why? Because thy insatiable greed and thy ignorance of thy ignorance shall have decreed it so.

Caveat Emptor, Mr. President.
Investigate before you buy -or at least before you nominate! And while you at it, Mr. President, hire some new Research Talent and get rid of your current staff of the ethically round-shouldered. Sycophants make inferior “advisors”? Someone in President Obama’s cadre of the unqualified, better grow some balls and try and make an attempt at honesty even at the cost of their job and to the betterment of this Country. It would be refreshing to see headlines proclaiming: “Obama Advisor found guilty of honesty and ethical behavior unbefitting standard political anomalies .”
HEADLINE: Daschle withdraws as nominee for HHS secretary From Associated Press February 03, 2009 1:54 PM EST Tom Daschle has been battling for his nomination since it was disclosed he failed to pay more than $120,000 in taxes. According to President Obama and other politicians: Tom Daschle is a great guy, [but, gentlemen, Tom Daschle is a thief who stole from the taxpayers and this government]. It was reiterated that Tom Daschle could do a great job for HHS, [but , gentlemen, Tom Daschle is a thief who stole from the taxpayers and this government]. It was proclaimed that Tom Daschle was highly respected by all members of congress, [but , gentlemen, Tom Daschle is a thief who stole from the taxpayers and this government]. It was rumored that Tom Daschle owned up to his chicanery. [However, only after being caught and having no other choice. I can’t see much contrition and/or honesty in such a dilatory admission.] It was averred that Tom Daschle was one of the favorites of the self-styled, “congressional boy’s club”, [but , gentlemen, Tom Daschle is a thief who stole from the taxpayers and this government. Based on what continues to come to light, I am sure there are many other, as yet un-caught, “boys” of the “congressional boy’s club” equally at fault.] Don’t forget Tim Geithner, another tax evader, but supposedly needed much more than Daschle. A man who was passed through a number of passages of forgiveness only to be foisted on those who do pay their taxes. Talk about a “Brotherhood of Thieves”!
How about Nancy Killefer, who withdrew her name as nominee for Performance Czar[Who the hell ever came up with this "Czar" crap?] in the Obama administration due to a $946.69 tax lien on her home related to the nonpayment of employment taxes for household help.
Then there was Mayor Eddie Perez, Hartford, Conn, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to bribery and other charges. Perez, 51, is accused of hiring a city contractor, Carlos Costa, to do $40,000 worth of renovations to his home and then paying only half the amount - and only after he was confronted by state investigators in 2007.
And, of course, we must not forget Vincent Fumo who stands accused of misusing millions of dollars that belonged to the state, a maritime museum and a nonprofit community group. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell is expected to take the witness stand and testify at the federal corruption trial of former state senator Vincent Fumo.
Don't politicians get paid for what little they do -and mostly for themselves at that? Or do they just enjoy stealing from others, including their Country?
