We got none of that Julie. Just the opposite in fact.
I used to think the same thing, but I have to disagree with you. The American voters are so ignorant that they will vote more enthusiastically for the idiots on American Idol than they will for a government that the founders wanted us to have.
I live in the most conservative county in Florida (maybe in the U.S.). I just finished reading the Sunday paper and the letters to the editor made me want to throw up. Here is one of them:
Say you’re sorry
Quickly approaching is the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2012. With the predictions of the Mayan calendar and the continued unsustainable growth and increasing associated demands of the human race, our survival is questionable.
Have any of you considered where you want to spend this day? Do you feel that Mother Nature deserves an apology from the human race? I have and I do, and I would like to extend an invitation for you to join me in the very first Apology Day.
Many know the place as the American Stonehenge. East of Athens, Ga., beside Highway 77 in the middle of nowhere, lies a monument consisting of six slabs of granite, 19-plus feet tall, astronomically aligned and erected in 1980.
On the slabs are 10 messages to an “age of reason.”
MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE.
GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY, IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY.
UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING LANGUAGE.
RULE PASSION, FAITH, TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON.
PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS.
LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY, RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT.
AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS.
BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.
PRIZE TRUTH, BEAUTY, LOVE, SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE.
BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH. LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE.
If this makes sense to you, and if you would like these messages made more public and you feel a gnawing guilt about how atrociously our species has treated Mother Nature and her creations, e-mail me at ApologyDay@hotmail.com .
