A Short Blog Post Today

In the News...

Sudan
Some people call it showing support. I call it help. Let us all hope continued support brings peace and prosperity for the region.

Arizona Shooting
This comment is coming later than I had hoped it would. It has been damn difficult for me to get the whole story about what happened. Clearly, Washington has left the American public feeling helpless to fix the nation's problems. They have left the public feeling like desperate measures are all they can do. May the survivors and their families heal. It was a needless waste of human life and a source of needless suffering. Let us hope it forces Washington to get its head out of its ass. There are always options other than violence. For example, the public could organize and refuse to comply.

Haiti
One year has gone, and still no leader has emerged to care for the people. They survived the hurricane season in 2010, but is there no one who can take charge of huilding them homes? The money is there. The last I heard, only 3% of the donated and promised funds have yet reached the people... so there must be money there to build them homes. They just need someone to take charge of the process.

The Pope
He is concerned with the safety of his flocks. So much could be gained by bringing a better understanding of the religion into the regions where the minority is being attacked. Just like we need a better understanding of Islam in the States, there needs to be a way to bring a better understanding of Christianity to the Middle East. This is no time to hide.

Facebook
Mark, this next comment has been a long time coming from me. You're welcome. Now stand up for yourself, organize with Google and the like, and refuse to comply. You are better than being their monkey.
