It’s not as if we don’t get our fair share of warnings -- as in, these Billy Joel lyrics from last century: “… Every child had a pretty good shot … to get at least as far as their old man got… Something happened on the way to that place: they threw an American flag in our face …”

If there is a preposterous irony to history’s in-and-out-of-a-century’s worth of Big Shot compulsive money-making, it’s that it couldn’t survive without the Little…

MY TAPESTRY OF INTERNET WRITING
There are now several hundred thousand readers engaged in parts of my internet tapestry, my literary product, my creation, my immense pile of words across the internet--and hundreds of people with whom I correspond on occasion as a result. This amazing technical facility, the world wide web, has made this literary success possible. If my writing had been left in the hands of the traditional hard and soft cover publishers, where it had been without success when I…

blackunicorn010 (11/7/2008 2:30:03 AM): Change It didn't matter if it was a Donkey, Elephant or a Goat, the elections now over and that's all she wrote. Now it's time to put any differences aside, and pray the next four years are a wonderful ride. So many changes are needed in this world and our life, from poverty to personal freedoms or everday strife. This Historical event that we now have at hand, could be the beginning of a new worldly plan. I've never been into politics much, I must admit,…

Daniel Dominique Watts, Western Springs, IL Nov 5th, 2008 4:05 pm ET
I’m still shocked The “impeach Bush” campaign was squashed by the secret service. He NEEDED to be impeached more than even Nixon. Squandering USA’s $$ to serve his own families needs for $$ and Dick A. (ass) Cheney’s windfall profits is the largest crime in American Presidential history. To have us SUFFER under this guy’s 8 years…

McCain’s biggest mistake?
Posted: 12:28 PM ET
What was the likable 'maverick's' biggest mistake?
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
What happened to John McCain? The likable “maverick” who beat some pretty strong competition to capture his party’s nomination had morphed into something else by yesterday.
After promising to run an “honorable” campaign, McCain quickly became another symbol of the divisive politics of past Republican presidential campaigns. Name calling, insults, pettines…

I like the fact that Obama is not found in my spell checker, and that I get to select the "Ignore" button to proceed.
Obama has his hands full because he has a history of being a professional candidate. A "present" vote from the White House will not help his re-electionion campaign that I believe will start the day after his inauguration. Therefore, he will finally have to show the cards he has been hiding for all these years.
Pray!
God bless,
Dennis

This is a short reply I added to a post about not judging others and being accepting and tolerant of everyone;
Ironically, the definition of an opinion is,
a judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
For one to accept another without judgement, personal interaction and or prior knowledge must be avoided. If I see something I regard as beautiful, I am making a judgement. If I smell something wonderful, I am making a judgement. If I taste something swee…

The Terrorists…
They belonged to no religion. As they solely surrendered to the
religion of the devil--- which ruthlessly beheaded countless innocent;
infirm and freshly born; in the name of sacred Lord Almighty,
They belonged to no color. As they solely pledged to the color of the
devil—which wanted to invidiously incarcerate every effervescent shade
of life; into the gallows of hopeless and haplessly stymied black,
They belonged to no territory. As they solely blended with the
territory of…

HOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO WELCOME GOD ON DIWALI ?
With the footprints of brotherhood that you left when you embraced one
and all--- OR With venomous bellows of nonchalant smoke which
diabolically tarnished his pristine atmosphere?
With the song of peace that you hummed from the innermost realms of
your heart---OR With inexplicable misery that you inflicted upon
boundless with the hideous noise of bombs exploding on every nook;
corner and street?
With the magical wand of your friendship which tr…

Are you ready to fulfill the Tree's last wish ???
You unsparingly spat leftovers of your food on its innocent body---yet
the same tree granted you the most tranquil contentment under its
branches; as the afternoon glare fiercely torched even the last bone
of your creaking spine,
You ruthlessly plucked a plentiful of its leaf without any reason or
rhyme---yet the same tree enamored you with boundless an untold story;
as you slumped your entire weight in tiredness; across its majestic
trunk,
Yo…

Everytime my heart palpitated for existence…
Some relentlessly wiped the dust of it; just in order to relieve the
unsurpassable restlessness that irksomely leaked from each pore of
their; frenetically trembling fingers,
Some unceasingly wiped the dust of it; just in order to give each day
of theirs a meaningfully pragmatic start; judiciously adhering to
every conceivable thumb rule of cleanliness embossed in the scientific
textbooks,
Some thoroughly wiped the dust of it; just in order to gran…

Once again back in the Creator’s Heaven…
There were some who ardently waited for all majestic pearls on this fathomless Universe—to become every insouciant line on their destiny palms—and keep perennially shimmering happily everafter,
There were some who irrevocably waited for every leaf of artistic green to grow in their backyards—to timelessly enshroud even the most vapidly deteriorating of their senses with the magical touch of nature divine,
There were some who fervently waited for all th…

Attaining heaven from your corpse in hell…
A countless times in the name of religion you've cursed a countless
impeccable black cat's crossing your way—and thereby instantaneously
found yourself a most certain place in the most derogatorily punitive
hell,
A countless times in the name of religion you've ruthlessly drowned a
countless girl child to the rock bottom of the ocean—and thereby
instantaneously found yourself a most certain place in the most
sadistically morbid hell,
A countless time…

Remember how so few Americans responded to New Orleans’ residents in their honest-to-gosh hours (and hours, and hours) of need after Katrina? Well, that look-the-other-way behavior haunts this nation still as Americans continue to lose their houses and their jobs. What, you don’t believe in the concept of victimhood? Most of us no longer do (!) -- we’ve already got way too much on our own plates, and no one’s jumping in to help us. Still, we’re once again ignoring financially stricken neig… Continue

Patience---The Greatest Artist…
Wasn’t it while waiting for something—that you inevitably learnt to profoundly admire even the most infinitesimal droplet of rain that cascaded from the sky; eventually absorbing into deep recesses of parched soil?
Wasn’t it while waiting for something—that you inevitably learnt to notice the streaks of latent agony lingering in the afforested land; where the truant man played the most ruthlessly barbarous devil of his kind?
Wasn’t it while waiting for somethin…
