it never ceases to amaze me how
we struggle to live, to save, to survive
and at the same time we are so brutal, all of us,
them and us all together.

targeting terrorism would seem to be a more appropriate
effort rather than creating dictatorial quagmires then miring ourselves in them….
sad yes
have seen many deaths unfolding
the personal brutality of al qaida.
the impersonal brutality of
high tech warfare like depleted unarium on
precision guided smart bombs.
we should all pray.
the end is near.
the end of faith in a great rapture.
the armeggadon of superstition.
the apocalypse of super-natural divinity.
a deeper grounding in reason and simple truth,
learned through fear and loathing.
we all died with the poor fellow.
will the species survive?

agent orange is still at work

so i mean compassion for the american, yes.
