Sending out an SOS


Shortly after Bush started his second term, I had an interesting conversation with one of the business writers at the Wall Street Journal. She said that Americans would have to lose their savings and retirement funds before they realized the true legacy of the past 8 years.

Maybe it’s just me, but the elections in Canada and American point to countries divided. I prefer to think of it as evolution - some of us are evolving – while others…..well, not so much.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in trouble people. We have crowds of people – not crazy people, but people who look an awful lot like me and you – openly threatening Obama’s life at Republican rallies. Not to mention that the religious right are just as scary as Extreme Muslims, using God to justify an agenda of fear and hate.

Chief Seattle said it best “Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connected.”

It's depressing isn't it? The Conservative win, the Palins of the world ( and the fanatical supporters of her) make one downright depressed. I guess, sometimes lessons need to be learned and relearned, hopefully not at great cost. It makes ya wonder what it'll take to shake some people up!!!!
