96. I understand your frustration- HOWEVER
May I share my belief that hatred is a SELF-destructive
emotion. Like acid, it eats the container from the
inside out. You are the container and your hatred
does NOTHING to the people you are hating.
It only hurts you.
I speak from experience. I too have spent much
of the last few years feeling hatred towards the
ignorant people in this country- it paralyzed ME, not them.
I recently had a moment of clarity that hating "them"
was like hating a poor cow for not being able to
dance the tango- completely ridiculous.
The Bushbots are much like those cows- they simply
do what cows do, not their fault. They don't know anything
else. HOWEVER, unlike cows, they can be educated
to tango. But not while we continue to berate and
hate them; they are after all, fellow humans and they
love their children just as we do. And the fact is:
OUR children are the future of this world.
We must come together as citizens to nuture
and protect the furture on EVERY issue we can.
I am tired of the hate from BOTH sides. It will
produce no good effect for what is our common
cause, the survival of each and every person in this
country under BushCo INC.. The policies are designed
to destroy us all, and the sooner we realize that, the
sooner there will be a chance for WE the people to
fight for OUR children and the future.
