Children As Targets Of Terrorists

Sitting and Thinking About Lies and The Truth

The thing that separates homo sapiens from the rest of the animal world is our brain and the level of thought that we can attain as a result of it's size. That being said, people do some dumb things. I read somewhere that someone actually tried to sue God. Now that rocket scientist needs to get a grip. Then there are those idiots who say that the Holacaust never happened. I am convinced that it did by the evidence that I have seen. Then there are those anti-Semites who blame the Jews for every wrong and swear that they run America and the world. Balderdash! Is it me or does the world seem to be turned upside down a lot of the time ? Right is presented as wrong and wrong is presented as right. Like the man said, "Tell a lie long enough and people begin to believe it." The only way to fight lies and deception is to present the ungarnished truth and do so incessantly. Truth deserves our diligence in preserving it.

Death From Above (Poem)

A hawk,

Soaring on high ,

Carried by thermals,

Up and down.

His keen eyes searching below -

In an instant he dives

In silence

And seizes his helpless prey.

Death from above.

The recent Sofa Super Store fire tragedy has opened up a Pandora's Box of negative feeling that the Mayor is trying to manage and spin to keep the lid on. If you care about this city please comment.
