I have never been able to take the kind of arrogant/ignorant insular arguments posited by American republicans in the last two terms of office of the anti christ. I watched
this interview, which happened just a couple of days ago, with Cindy Sheehan on MSNBC, she lost her son in the illegal war in Iraq and has gone on a hunger strike to raise awareness and traveled the world to raise awareness to end the war and, that not all Americans, actually only 1/3 support the Bush administrations heinous actions around the globe.
In the interview she is so calm and so confident and especially,
non combative that every time the msnbc reporter, Noron(? whatever) assaulted her and tried to make her look like a 'traitor'--i guess is the word in the new Fortress America vernacular, for someone who doesn't agree with government policy-- that I would feel my rage boil up and then be calmed by Cindy's voice and manner. She was no push over either, she did assert herself to clarify some of the classic and commonly accepted misinformation the reporter was spewing, like calling
Chavez a dictator.
She said she wants to end the war and wake up the American public. A lot of them need a good shaking, I know. I've heard them speak.
It's also beautiful to note, how one woman can make such an enormous difference. The War has not ended, no, but look at how she stirs up the enemy.Ha ha! I took great pleasure in watching her. Hats off to Cindy Sheehan.
Earlier last week, Stephen Hawking asked on yahoo asked, “How can the human race survive the next hundred years?”.
My answer? Take away the world's military might. Imagine how much good a nation as rich as the U.S. could have done around the world and in their own cities by sending out food and education programs, instead of uranium depleted bullets. Imagine if all their military bases were institutions of learning and teaching and sharing instead of secret prisons for 'people of colour to hate of the month'. Too idealistic?
Absurd? What's absurd is that we're still killing each other over religion and money.
I propose that THIS, what we're living now, is the most absurd ridiculous way of life that we could ever as a species have chosen to follow. Then of course we'd have to do something about religion, but that, is another conversation.
Maybe Professor Hawking, we're not mature enough as a species yet to deserve to survive another hundred years.
