HOLY CARP!!!

well I was wrong. I guess I have not forgiven King as I thought I had. The first sentence in this article tells me I haven't. Please, keep us in your prayers and thoughts today. It's a very difficult day for us. Thank you http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20091204/ARTICLE/912041038 |

Very moving article. You're in my thoughts. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Good article. I know people who have been on juries for trials of horrible crimes, and they have been very much affected. Peggy, right now you're finding it hard to forgive. Maybe right now you can't. My prayers,and thought to you and your family. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Take care, Peggy. I don't really see the need to forgive;yes you need to close the book, start a new chapter, etc.,.... but I don't think it is necessary to 'forgive' someone for an act so horrific. I don't get why forgiveness is so noble, esp. in a case like this. It is what it is, and that is something horrible and unchangeable. |
