Politics can be such an incendiary issue…it amazes me how people can be so taken in by what they perceive, what they are told, their own suspension of disbelief, or by their own wishful thinking, that they will not examine the facts dispassionately (that’s Spock-like, without emotion)…it’s either that, or they are too effing stupid to be able to, and function merely from emotion…absolutely stunning…
In our “culture,” we have learned to absolutize the relative and relativize the absolute…so much is backwards, so much of it to satisfy our bored, stimulus-hungry souls…any new thrill has our interest for 15 minutes and then…it’s gone, and so are we…on to the next one…
There was once a struggle between materialism and spirituality…now materialism poses AS spirituality…all hail the consumer…
I tell you, humans are a very poor excuse for The Crown of Creation…God has a wonderful sense of humor, so comprehensive and profound, no?
What do you think about the fact that we can choose our friends but cannot choose our family? Do you ever feel like someone is playing a joke on you? And that sometimes it’s not a funny one…
If any of you would like a copy of the health care legislation, the House version, I have it and will gladly email it to you, all 1018 pages of it. Better yet, you can download the bill directly from my website…go here

Can we puh-leeze bring back the guillotine? Just for a year or two…I promise…that’s all it will take for the new American political incentive program to kick into gear…and put it all on pay-per-view…now that’s reality TV! Shoot, that would pay for all the poor folks needing health care…sheesh, that’s the answer! How come we didn’t think of it sooner?
Which is more important: Mastery of the complex things in life or mastery of the simple things in life?
