Seeing the destruction and the killings brought upon by this Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, I wonder how our government can still be so rigid in his refusal in calling for a cessation of hostilities. With kids, women, elderly people dying on both sides, seing all the misery on both sides, I wonder again how can our government tolerate such a situation. And we take pride in being "civilized", "generous", "magnanimous", "christian", "smart". I'm getting to believe that all we say we are is all B...s! Because, if I were wrong, we all would be screaming to tell our so-called elected leaders: enough is enough, let's do something to stop this! After all, we don't want more hatred directed at us. The bad thing is we try a lot of times to be important instead of being useful! Carl Gilbert

The current U.S. policy in the Middle East is really getting outdated.  And I would even say it stinks. That is why we are getting more isolated in this world. Call me a liberal if you want but I don't care because our kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids need to find a safe place to live. Israel is our close ally, it is true.  But that country has its own interests and the U.S. has primarily its own.  Therefore our fate can not be bound to the fate of Israel.  It is time we tell   Israel we cannot babysit her forever. We do not talk to Iran, and Syria,  - big players in the Middle East - because we perceive them as our enemies.  Maybe they are.  I thought it was always better to keep our enemies close (...so we could better strangle them when the need arises). As the situation of the world gets more complicated, we the voters need to take a second look, a third look at our leaders before we elect them bec...

Recently, CNN reported on one of those churches where the congregation laughs  its heart out while they are worshiping God. The argument behind all this laughter is God does not ask us to be miserable while we are serving Him. And the preacher on that CNN show aslo argued that being sad or depressed at church while we are praying is not what God asked from us. Another minister said in one of his preachings: Hippopotamus, peacock, Dachshund, giraffe, hummingbird, dolphin, fireflies, and humans like us: Herman, Thelma, Josephine, and Thomas: If you look around at all the creatures of the world, and we humans in all our vibrant variety, don’t you have to conclude that God has a great sense of humor? And he went on to quote some passages in the Bible where laughter is referred to.      In other words, those ministers were telling us that God likes laughter too. Generally speaking, I wish we all were laughing at a lot things! Maybe we would see less bad thin...

I thought blogging was the domain of citizen journalists putting their personal thoughts on the net so they can report to the world what the main press is not telling !!!   Now there seems to be a new trend:  the big press is infiltrating the domain of the bloggers, and there are big reporters of the big medias blogging also...  Some even using aka names...   The other day, I was searching posts on a specific country, expecting to read what citizens of that country were writting on... I was amazed to see the search from Atom brought up several news agencies that have posted news on that country, before I could read posts from private "bloggers". And articles from those news agencies were ranking very high ahead of  the sites of the real bloggers.   I think we bloggers should start raising our voices against this practice of blog search engines including news agencies and news reporters among the bloggers.  News agencie...

I received this article, read it, and decided to share it with you because I believe it said a lot on how  truth and happiness are thightly related. The truth will set us free, we hear a lot of times.  I believe this article elaborates very much on this issue.  Good reading!   ARTICLE START ------------------ By Robert E. Najemy It is not easy to be totally truthful with others and often even with ourselves. The main reason for this is our fear or rejection. This fear is often greater even than the fear of death. We identify our self-worth and consequently our feelings of security with how others perceive us and whether they approve of, accept and love us or not. Because of this we tend to alter our bodies and personalities in order to "protect" our self-worth, security and freedom. As children we were free to be ourselves and blurt out whatever might be passing through our minds. But eventually our unpleasant experiences with the truth caused us to create...

Tired of paying high-priced gas? Let us stop buying... and the prices will come down. Simple economics 101. (the law of supply and demand)... No demand.... the gas stays in the stocks... and the big guys will be forced to cut down the prices... The solution is with us the consumers.

On the eve of the deadline given to Iran to stop its nuclear program, the  existing nuclear countries have no moral authority to tell another country not to seek those weapons of mass destruction, because they make no big effort to rid themselves of those weapons.   That is why Iran believes it is being bullied by those countries.   A bully by definition is someone (or a country) who enjoys oppressing, intimidating others weaker than himself.   The world will be serious about nuclear disarmement if the countries that already have nuclear weapons make significant efforts to destroy them.     And do not tell me we are more responsible and we would know when and how to use them... History is there  to remind us till the present time that we may not be so responsible as we think we are...

The Iraq war is now going on its 4th year! Many of our young fellow citizens are either dead or wounded. A lot more on the Iraqi side!  We have spent since the war started close to $400 billion and counting. I wonder how much more we Americans are willing to spend for this "Noble Cause".   I need to know, and a lot out there need to know too.

“An Italian judge heard arguments Friday on whether a small-town parish priest should stand trial for asserting that Jesus Christ existed.” (Italy) Isn’t it surprising that a continent that is taking pride in giving lessons of democracy to other countries is going after one of its citizens because of his beliefs? It sounds like the persecutions of the Christians all over again!   A trial because a small-town parish asserts that Jesus existed?    If he believes it, why someone (or the prosecution office) should go after him?   Freedom of speech or freedom of thoughts,   isn’t it ?   The small-town parish priest is not in China, as I know of.   It’s time for countries of the western world to be less hypocritical!
