Fare Thee Well The Sequel: We Will Survive!

Fare Thee Well

P.S. Kiss The Duchess For Me

Ugly Americans

Gee, selfish, greedy, uptight, jingoistic UNCHRISTIANLIKE racist Americans in Murrietta, CA shouting obscenities at children who are hungry and scared ~ nice!

Yes, illegal immigration may be a problem but at its source is a bigger problem: human suffering. Your lack of Christian values is glaring here and while these immigrants may be violating laws, the next time you go five miles over the speed limit you are breaking the law too. 

Their reason for breaking laws: poverty, hunger, drug violence, suffering.   And your reason for speeding???

They may be illegal immigrants, but you are ugly Americans and that is the bigger crime. 

And I am willing to bet Jesus would agree. 

The concept of free will is not properly understood.  The correct use of free will is to choose actions that are positive and not negative i.e. to follow the ethical teachings of Jesus or the precepts of the Buddha: to choose love over hate, forgiveness over anger, humility over arrogance, and selflessness over greed.

It is not about thoughts or thought crimes. It is not about choosing to believe or not to believe. It's much harder to consistently do good and not evil. It's relatively simple to believe something if you choose to believe it, whether Christianity, Islam or Atheism.

Food For Thought.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

As rain falls in  Austin ~ which we desperately need I noticed via CNN that Syria has launched attacks in Iraq. Does not appear ISIS was the target, but I have wondered why Syria hasn't stepped up attacks on ISIS.

No doubt the Syrian government is despicable but wouldn't a northern front against ISIS affect their drive towards Baghdad?  I'm reminded of Russia's role in defeating Hitler.

Something about the situation in Iraq feels like Vietnam. Ugh.  Please, No.

After a few discussions, I have reversed my uncharacteristically hawkish disposition towards the situation in Iraq with ISIS.  No doubt I want to see them turned back.  Sharia Law and cold-blooded executions are abominations not matter who your God or gods are ~

Let Shiite Iraq and Shiite Iran partner together to deal with this. I am no more afraid of a nuclear Iran than I am of nuclear Pakistan.  Any nation using a nuke, especially a small one with a limited arsenal is committing national suicide.

It's a sad story all around given how poorly women are treated in this part of the world.  These people live as though it was still 1000 A.D.  Let them decide their own borders and governments. War is horrible no doubt but the U.S. involving itself in a war by going to war seems to be failing when not justified.

Interestingly enough, we bailed on Vietnam. What happened to the domino effect.  Vietnam is now a capitalist country.  Go figure.

So allow me to vent a little about this blogger site. It is bloody hard to use. In this day and age you would thing google would make things more straightforward!!!

So here it is ~ June ~ time for another Apple Developer Keynote ~ time to blog!!!

Ok time to start blogging again!  Hopefully we can keep up with it this time! Over time I hope to unify my online presence and make available to my wonderful friends the stuff I have written, created and recorded over the years.
