Understand me.

I want to make that bastard's life a living, breathing, waking nightmare of futility for the next four years. I want to write congressmen, senators, use my online pulpit (for lack of a better term) to expose every dark design he and his PNAC puppetmasters have, help steer the election of 2006 to cut his powerbase out from under him.. in short, I want this second term in office to be his own personal Purgatory.

You want morals?

Feed the hungry.

Clothe the naked.

Visit the sick and the afflicted.

Care for the widows and orphans (aka single parent families).

Visit those in prison.

Love your neighbor.

Where's the morality in letting children go hungry and homeless while the rich get tax breaks?

Pretty radical ideas, those.

I'm sure the Religious Reich wouldn't recognize them. No, they're more concerned with making sure two guys can't get married and call it getting married, not to mention all the fun of bombing the shit out of brown people (thank you, George Carlin). That's a priority to them. Those Leviticus-swilling morons wouldn't recognize compassion if it jumped up and bit them in their SUVs.

EDIT: A hospital has been razed to the ground in one of the heaviest US air raids in the Iraqi city of Falluja.

A FUCKING HOSPITAL!

Iraq is turning into a quagmire, to use the vernacular. :)

I don't know if we can salvage it, but I think that if anything's to be done, it must be done by other Arabs and other Muslims.

As for morals, I agree that those are fine morals to have. I don't necessarily think that the federal government is the best place to implement those morals, mostly because I feel that government breeds incompetence therein, but I'm willing to listen to arguments against my position. :)

This is something I've been thinking about lately. In reality, all our society really has is the individuals within it. All we have are the connections we've made with those individuals.

I have the infancy of ideas in my mind, but need to think more. Check out my LJ and maybe I'll have something up soon.
