The creation of Evil

Too often today superlatives in disguise are on display in journalism -- things are the best or worst they have been in five, ten or fifty years. Our Veterans are dying at a greater pace than ever noted before. Healthcare is skyrocketing.

It would seem that we cannot live without having discerned first if what we are living is worth living. Nothing of the sort is true. At the same time all these things might be true. Veterans are dying, but we are reaching the end of the generation that served in WWII - 600,000 people overseas and countless more within the states. Vietnam era Service Men and women are also dying, but there are chronic medical claims still attached to some of those things which I will not comment on.

What concerns me now is the underground god seekers. These are not the Jesus-freaks of the 80's and 90's. These are people with the sole purpose of living a godly life. Of course all their ideas are easily refuted and easily demonstrated as cult guided idiocy.

However, I am also reminded that government is a cult. This is fact in one sense, government's sole obligation is to protect our liberties - at least in the United States (and they do a poor job of that about 45% of the time, I would say.) Instead of accomplishing that task our government is the slave of parties and money.

How did we ever end up here? I think now that one day a man, and it was a paternalistic society then, walked by a tree and was startled by the shadow of a bird that was cast at his feet. That was the genesis of a winged Satan and probably nothing more. Evil was born during a garden walk. We are living the idiotic effects of that event to this day; the religion or the politics of fear.

life is a story

sometimes we get to write the story and sometimes we have to live the story first and tell it later -- economics, politics and religion have only a secondary play in these things.

I Witnessed a Real-Life Precious Moment

This is a true story. Gregory's sister Wendy came to visit this past weekend, she brought her children Aaron and Daniel with her. One night while we were having dinner at the parent's, I was hanging out on the lanai with the 2 boys. They were relaxing on the hammock, and Daniel who is 4, (and looks like the all american child, blond curly hair, blue eyes, huge dimples, )was singing a little song, he sang"I love everybody, and I love God.." He was smiling and looking around, then he looks up in the sky, and does this thumps up, reaching really high towards the sky.
I had to keep myself from laughing out loud, I was really surprised. It is not like their family is super-religious, so I had to ask him what he was doing, and sure enough the thumbs up was for God. Then his older brother filled me in a little more. "Yeah, he has been worshiping like crazy ever since he started watching Veggie Tales."

Cheez-Its Christ

Mully, you KNOW what the people are like on the Plains. . . Try as you may, you can't bully genius, mon petite provocateur. Meanwhile, I do want to point out that the name IS "A Shining Example of Human Potential," not "A Shining Example of Human Productivity."

Gregg, I thought you had a stinky pickled sausage monkey on your back. Man, Florida has really changed you. Next you'll be dining on top-shelf potted meat product, or, *gasp* blue ribbon headcheese. Some Swissian buys some of your art, and two weeks later you totally sell out, dude. It's like I don't even know who you are anymore.

Biblical Clairity

Howdy folks!
With Ramses the talk of the town I thought I could use this as an excellent opportunity to show just what a damned good Christian I am. additionally I thought I could sweep up to the moral high ground and look down upon all you lowly sinners and your wicked, wicked ways-cause you know Jesus loves everyone-but I'm His favorite.

Behold! Rendered masterfully in fine highly detailed (yet still perfectly understandable for all of you non arty folk) sculpture are the exciting (and completely true) biblical stories you have either come to know and love or cower in fear of our precious savior. Each vignette a purpose filled moral lesson told from a marvelous medium.

I present to you-to save your souls-
