You don't bargain with evil, you destroy it as soon as it appears.
Why is this a prob?
Why is this a prob?....In today's PC world, nothing is considered evil anymore. Just a lifestyle choice. No more black and white delineations. Just gray areas. Nobody wants to be seen as calling anyone or anything evil. Just look at the uproar over "The Axis of Evil" comment. Even when you confront evil, it doesn't really go away, it just morphs into something else and hides for a while. Today, everything that should be good is evil and evil is good. Witness the Ann Coulter uproar over the term faggot. Would she have been better off if she had used the term queer? Hardly. Evil takes on the mantle of victimhood and makes your morality the evil that Evil should be.......
Another factor is Bush & Co.(ie Sneakyman Oil, Inc.) allows alot of this crap to festor because is makes money, big money.
Shades of Gray
Monkees
Words By barry mann and cyntha weil
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
[instumental interlude]
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Only shades of gray.
Oil has been near $60 for three months now. Some fluctuation but no major moves. The panic move to $75 was burned out of the system. It won't be moving much higher soon unless the Strait of Hormuz is shut.
