Once you do a thing... it becomes easy to repeat it


Can you believe that we have arrived at a place where American’s are advocating the use of torture by interrogators to get information out of prisoners?
We should all be clear that no matter what their political grouping, or philosophical beliefs they are Americans.
John McCain has had experience on one side of the experience, but what about the other side?
Doesn’t the act of torturing a fellow human being take something valuable away from the torturer?
Won’t the world think less of America (if that is possible) if we begin to do things that we have said we would stand against?
These are questions we must ask before we allow this type of thing to go on.
Before we allow the still yet to be realised dream of building a better society for all Americans to die, we had better be damn sure that the world that will follow the death of that goal is one we would want to live in.

ME 15:284 Thomas Jefferson was capable of truly stunning thought, but no more than we all are ! As a people our will can be a stunning force for the common good, for our world. I realize that it is way too early in history to even hope for a world without borders or even one where our differences are praised, but neither is this country, this world, made of opposing parties each hoping to rule the others. We have as Americans & as a world learned to sacrifice our common will to those with a "vision", our new "Kings" unfortunately we have also learned to believe that we have no right to self govern. We play right into their hands, becoming more isolated, lonely & pathetic with every liberty that is taken from us, our power & strength being erod...
