Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

Grow Up!

 
Kevin writes:God Told Bush to Go to War

Mary writes: More Essential Members of the Left Coalition: Christians and points to The Right Christians.

I feel hopeful that there are many right Christians who are feeling the hatred and exclusivity permeating our culture and that they will be a force for change and inclusive gentleness. There is a morality, Christian or larger, that needs to be addressed. Bush does not touch this morality.
What Bush touches is exactly what Lorelei grasps, Powerful figures playing powerful roles when the feelings of powerlessness are the most powerful.

This is not the self reliance that conservatives generally embrace. It's a regression to the safety of the Strict Father they are accustomed to. I say, grow up! Take responsibility for keeping yourself informed, look at your family's future with the big picture in mind, provide for that future with the self-discipline that was instilled in you. Sacrifice does not include sacrificing other human lives in the name of greed.

The American public is still stuck in the feelings of powerlessness. Until they realize that Bush offers no comfort, no morality, and no solutions, we will continue to be dragged deeper into a tunnel.
