God is too busy , we have to take care of ourselves.

Well semester’s end, and at last, I have a bit of time now to truly relax and contemplate what has been going on in my life.

Not much, you?

I steal the line from a radio show that is a favorite of my kids. :)

What has happened is:

The u.s. is still under occupation, so is iraq,
this makes us brothers in arms.

The world is still full of IDIOTS who believe that what they hear on t.v. is either liberal propaganda or the truth, which depends on whether the info supports their point of view or contradicts it.

The world is full of IDIOTS who believe that what they hear on t.v. is either right wing propaganda or the truth, which depends on whether the info supports their point of view or contradicts it.

I was directed by the hand of the almighty to the world of blogging, the hand of the almighty belonging to a true friend of mine who turned me on to his site and consequently sparked the genesis of my own.

The hand of the almighty is ever present in the act of creation.

These things have lead to a number of epiphanies:

About half the u.s. population is smart enough not to participate in the sham that we try to pass off as “free elections”. I was not one of them.

I’m an anarchist. It’s the only hope.

I’m a deist, yep there is a god but it’s way too busy to become involved with the petty affairs of a bunch of hairless apes.

Which leads to the conclusion that the only hope we have is taking care of each other, we sure as hell can’t count on god pullin’ our ass out of the fire.

So, my point is?

‘Tis this. Let’s all make a valiant effort to pull our heads out of whatever orifice that keeps us in the dark and start judging our actions and the actions of others by how much they help all the people in the world, ‘cause god is way to busy to protect us from ourselves.

Right on! Kudos, and I lift a chipped wine glass in hearty agreement.

It's really cool to have stumbled upon deism in the midst of all this political strife. I personally was always searching, more or less, for a spiritual base... maybe this is the one?

And isn't it ironic that good can come out of horror like tiny green plants growing out of the ashes of a burned forest? I mean, a state of political emergency at home and global horror abroad compels two old friends to enter cyberspace and communicate, to reassure themselves, each other, and any who'll listen that there's always hope, even in a world gone mad.

I like the bit about being brothers in arms with those in occupied countries. And about the plight of the hairless apes, I would like to offer this:

Just to say that maybe, if BFEE, PNAC et al succeed in destroying said hairless apes, the next group to inherit the earth might do a fine job of it :)

And finally, I'll bet this true friend was probably quite a dashing fellow in his prime ;)

Dashing!?! An understatement of this magnitude should be considered a transgression worthy of a severe spanking!
