In case you aren't familiar with Bageant, may I say that he is one articulate SOB ... probably the only person I have read (and I read copiously and take time to think about what I am reading) who makes not only a good case for 'class struggle' in the US, but is an honest to god* leftie redneck. --- * Flying Spaghetti Monster works for gawd ... along with any other mythological doofus you conjure for your own satisfaction.

But we don't need a Joan of Arc, Cindy. Are you registered to run against Pelosi in 2008? Is someone advising you to write (admittedly increasingly trenchant and moving) articles all around the country, and telling you they will be widely read and appreciated in Baghdad by the Bay? Or, horror of horrors, do you feel that you lack inspiration within 60 miles of Vacaville, or that your presence here will threaten ones you love? We all need you to beat Pelosi, Cindy. Or whoever the damnable dems pick to stand in for her if she steps down. Not to be our martyr. Arthur Silber is our Tom Paine. But we don’t need a Joan of Arc, Cindy.

I am watching, from the other side of the pond, the slow-motion demise of an once great country. America once was an ideal that inspired the world. I think you still feel this in your heart, you are a good person. America saved our asses during two wars. If I don't live under the third reich right now, I owe it to the sacrifice of many sons of your country (and other countries). Unfortunately, historic memory and being grateful to the heroes of the past, has gone out of fashion. But now this is something else. The bastards in US government have no legitimity, they haven't even been elected. The american people has no say anymore, the ideal is buried. I can't do anything but watch, and I am sad for you. I am sad for the Iraquis, too, who got Saddam Hussein because of the US, and then got wars to depose Saddam, again because of the US. The arrogance of your government has no bounds, but it is the honest people who pay the price. I don't believe in any god. I don't think belief in god is necessary in order to have a strong moral sense (even though the Books have some decent teachings). The current american government, and the american system at many levels, are not "godless", they are just reckless, and power-hungry beyond absurdity. I believe the US will self-destruct in the incoming global financial crisis. This will change the world forever. I don't know how much of the world the US will take down in its fall, but I know for sure the ones who will suffer will be the honest people, and that the ones responsible for it all will get their golden parachute. Please impeach the bastard. I’m French. I am watching, from the other side of the pond, the slow-motion demise of an once great country. America once was an ideal that inspired the world.

It makes us as guilty as the one who commited it. There is no humane death, killing is inhumane in every way. It will not bring back our loved ones, nor ease our pain. Exodus 21:13 Thou shall not kill. Teaching children to kill defenseless animals to hang on a wall take away the value of life. God created animals as He has man, all have a right to life. Our great nation once had morals, family values and love for our fellow man when it threw God out of our courts, schools and life it became a nation of criminal goverment , childern who kill childern in a school system that is run by a Godless corupt goverment who took our rights away from raising our own children, and erased our constution with the stroke of a pen. We are no longer we the people but are owned and ruled by those we put in office. Capital punishment is not the answer. Hurting others who will feel the pain of the death of their child will not by any means heal your pain. Matt:6:14-15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not their trespasses , neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Out Lord gave His life on the cross of Calvery for our sins can we as belivers not do as much for our fellow man. This is the way for you to start the healing process, By standing firm in the words of our Lord, He will ease your pain and strengthen you. And Cindy you will get justice, maybe not now but there is a judgement day coming and there will be nowhere evil can hide, it will no longer be covered up, paid off but will be judged in the incruptable court of our creator.
