All right…not so catchy a word as “Funkateer”… but that’s all I’ve got for today!
Random: Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective
Dharma: The principle or law that orders the universe
THEREFOR::::::
Randharma: The principle or law that orders the universe which has no specific pattern, purpose, or objective.
I am frightened when I look around at the world… a place which makes less and less sense to me every day. Being “Politically Correct” means more than actual humanity. The blood lust is being whipped up to go KILL somebody – anybody will do, Saddam is just convenient – regardless of their relationship to the actual problem. Personal accountability has flown the coop. Intolerance masquerades as compassion.
This is NOT where this entry was going when I started it…but it is what came out when I started writing.
One last thing – a quote or two for thought….and then I’ll end my bleak and melancholy streak for today….
“The United States of America will use all our resources to conquer this enemy. We will rally the world… This battle will take time and resolve, but make no mistake about it, we will win.” – George Walker Bush
“We will do whatever it takes to smoke them out of their holes. We’ll get them running and we’ll bring them to justice.” – George Walker Bush
“This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life, and we the democracies of this world are going to have to come together and fight it together.” – Tony Blair, British Prime Minister
“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make … either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” – George Walker Bush
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.
— Julius Caesar

Your bleak and melancholy streak makes alot of sense however, makes everyone take notice to other issues revolving around this “crazy and senseless” world. I love your new word. It’s fitting and very appropriate!! ~Hugs~

We were at war the moment religious fanatics chose to attack the U.S. and Muslim communities took to the street in clebration. I stand up to playground bullies. And, no, I did NOT vote for Dubya. I’m not crazy about his choice of words, but we didn’t start this. And yes, we WILL finish it. God help us all.

Good entry…… and yes, it is a very scary world we live in today…Sad ! Warm smiles,

Terrorists who willingly sacrifice themselves believing they will be rewarded in their Heaven for killing Jews and Christians will only be stopped by greater force–not words. The instigators of these atrocities may have more subtle motives, but a better life in the hereafter guides those who do the dirty work
Warning Comment
yeah… I don’t even want to think about that… I HATE how people think violence and killing are the only answer, and there’s nothing you can do to change how people think. Did you hear about how those ppl spelled out peace w/ their naked bodies in the sand? Jay Leno said “Right Idea, wrong president” lol. I found that funny.

The quote from Julius Caesar put into words many of my thoughts about what’s been happening in your country. I get scared by what Dubya is saying too. I pray that cooler wiser heads will prevail. I know there are good people in the world & you my dear are definitely one! Put your worries aside, let yourself have a great weekend. *with a warm hug*

Returns I the compliment..wow! simply wow! on this entry. I never thought of using Caesar against Bush. What happened to the hunt for Osama? He seems conveniently forgotten now the US has the oil of Afghanistan. Surely all can see it is oil Bush wants. Nth Korea is possibly worse than Iraq. Sad all round Alexias

I beg to differ in perspective SW. Although I don’t particularly care for GWB, I believe our efforts re: S.H. are wise. Based on his pattern, he would eventually use whatever weapons of mass destruction he has to destroy innocent others. He probably would not do it to protect his people or even to expand his empire, but simply because he is insane. History has shown us examples very similar (c)
Warning Comment
(c) and we have learned that mad men who find their way into power within a system of government without checks and balances will use all resources they have to retain/enhance their power. The danger today is that the weapons are so much more destructive and deliverable by many means that were not available, say, during Hitlers day. No sane person likes war. But we can’t sit back and wait to be(c)
Warning Comment
(c) attacked or watch as some other country is attacked simply because Iraq has somehow produced an insane dictator. I don’t like even thinking about this stuff. But there are too many examples in history of extreme, tragic loss of life that could have been avoided if world leaders would have taken preventive actions. But most people won’t act until attacked….-Jeff

About to go for my run and now I have something to mull over while I go. That could be an article in a paper and i think you should send it off, see if you could get it printed somewhere… or would you be executed for treason? If you are not with him, you’re obviously with the terrorists (sarcasm font required).
