Is fear terroring us apart? Yeah I hear it all the time. How can it all be love? -Suicide bombers, Asian flu, killer hurricanes... It's easy to make a fear and terror list. Do you have a list of things you would stake your life to defend?
How can it be all love with the blanket of fear dripping from every form media. Right down to old fashioned 'word on the street' contact. Listen to people at bus stops, lines in delis, overhear the fear and terror. It's fear each other with crime starting on that street level. We're fed fear over things that are really concepts-- the economy, the future of social security and the environment. All styles of medicine agree that you can elevate over fear in one breath, you don't have to be a sadhu living on the river. As Americans whether you want to say the policy is yours or not the war on terror has us checking ourselves at the sight of foreign backpacks much less what we in our personal 'isms' call suspicious foreigners. In my neighborhood they wear suits and drive Stupidly.Utilized.Vehicles's, we see them as complacent in the fueling of the conflict. Is that a bottle of eco-cleaner or a discarded pipe bomb? Do we see that it's intense love for an idea or country that pushes people to commit such violent acts?
We are like children seeing the broom in the corner and sure it's the boogey man. Now it's obvious that the FearMedia was ramped up by the White House to sell us this war, does anyone feel safer? Really fear is based on perception, few of us are chased by tigers during our day, and usually it has to rely on the unknown. When we know the facts the looming fear dissipates.
Fear is the gift that keeps on giving. Most of the times it's placed in the past or the future. Now the big fear is the Asian flu? Damn this is tough it's so small who can battle it. The medical establishment that diverted so much of its energy to researching the perfect Viagra pill is now being exposed. They only research cash crops. Vaccines that help people to not need their products aren't a reality. We fear that the leaders of business, government, media and religion are not really acting in the interest of all, of the big picture, ozone on down to virus. Maybe we do have a real common fear after all. In the face of fear when we give or receive that basic human component love then you have courage.

Memorial Day? Mainly this is just a day off, let's face it, most Americans think it's a signal that summer is here. Airfares go up, the sun is back, and the BBQ gets fired up. I got dead FAM, have some in my circle with recent war dead. When you have dead you knew by eye contact that Memorial Day is every day. These dead and especially this war, the freshest war, are painful in so many ways;are the recent dead the deadest?
Scripture in the toilet; now that's news! Flushing the Koran!? What's the counterpunch; garbage disposal the Bible, shred the Sutras and Vacuum up the Vedas. Looks like the World Conflict Inc. marketing department is working overtime.
This is an open letter to the children of Abraham. Okay I know I'm goyish and an infidel, hell I'm even from the left coast of America but stil... You Abrahamites have a family fight going. We can see since Sarah conceived the rift began, or so we're told. By the time Abraham got to the sacrificial alter the trend had been set. You don't even agree which child he dragged up the hill to sacrifice. It is the same voice from the clouds isn't it? Ultimately do you think you're speaking to the same God?
Not one damn dime? Divest from the economy for the day as a method of sending a message? Believe me, I'm behind all protest to the coronation of King George Bush, the 44th President of the US. I'm going to stock up at the farmers market, invite friends for food but my divesting will not bring much satisfaction or I believe much influence on the powers that be.
Death and destruction, birth and evolution; these are our daily polarities. These are more than interesting times. We set records every day as a species. Of all in the animal kingdom we prey on our own more than any other animal.
C'mon if you could rub a cream on your butt that shifted you to being smarter, pain free, sexy and strong would you lather up?
What sort of meal would it have been if the Iroquois nation had a terror alert of red and stopped the pilgrims at the beach, searched them and checked passports?
So you think Kerry took a dive? Like Sonny Liston, took the hope flickering in the hearts of the poor, the unemployed,
disempowered, young and old and flopped onto the canvas. After that whole time telling us it was on the way. That it got way closer than they thought they would get.
