Post Thanksgiving Reality Check...

[misanthrope]

Now that your turkey has finally passed your digestive tract, here's a little something else to digest:

Is it any wonder the good ol' U.S. of A. has become a cornucopia of ignorance and intolerance?

1. Here is a Thanksgiving prayer that someone sent me. . .

PSALM 23 FOR 2004

Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace
for his ego's sake.


Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution
and war, I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control,
they discomfort me.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the
presence of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.

Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow
me all the days of thy term,
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement
forever.


Amen.

My reply: God, please help us...Amen.

2. see, this is why there needs to be educational advantages

I learned this in college. They don't teach this in H.S. - but in college, a regular liberal arts college, not just technical schools. This is why the educated are liberal.
