I see what has happened to this country. The world's WatchDog. One of these days I fear, that someone will twitch or have a tremor and that will be it. But I can't help how I live and feel. If that is the end, no amount of reading the papers, watching the news, or wandering why is gonna stop it. I seem to deal with life differently in that if it is my time nothing will stop it. Some others and I had a long discussion about who are the chosen, tribes that are going, Revelations, and it is very heavy stuff. Now I don't think I'm one of the chosen. And they should have been chosen, look at all they went through. Then there are the 12 tribes that are going. Now I don't know how much space there is but to me it isn't really that earthshaking. When it's done it's done and I'm at peace with that. I know I am loved. We have been a warring nation world since who knows. Is it control, is it testoserone(don't know, women are in armed forces now), is it like a game of risk, wanting the lands of others. Our children play with war toys, the cartoons are horrid, the computer games are all battles. I'm not saying we teach our children war games, but we don't do anything deter them. So, now the military has played out there hand. I hear it was the wrong place, or this guy they were trying to catch wasn't there. That's kool. Also, that the other side has the power to take us all out. That was very stratigic planning. I am sorry Jim that I sound cynical or laksidasical I was in the 60's Peace Marches. I watched as my male friends marched to war (Viet Nam) and never came back. Oh some did come back as drug addicts, hopeless wet brains, instutitionalizd, or just waiting to die. Man was pitted against man, young men arrested for not wanting to go to war, as old white haired politicians made the choices for us. My brother left the country. Never to return, shattered family,shattered dreams. Our country was split in half because we (younger) had no concept of what older generation wanted. Yet when they came home from Nam look how the were treated. Like garbage, called baby killers, turned away, they did a job we wanted done and look what happened. Desert Storm was another little conflict, our soldiers have all kinds of physical problems and no one wants to help. Sounds like PD people. I have just rambled on. It is a very dear subject to me. So many of my friends died, or should have. The goverment chose to lie about the body count, why should I be them. Jim I just believe that if my government is foolish enough to fight with nuculear power I really don't stand a chance. I want to finish this on a good note. I love this life. It was given to me, to take care of. And I've watched as the world tears itself apart. For what, a little more sand, a little more grass a bigger voice or oil. When is the time to say enough, I will not join in this. This is just my opinion. It is not here for you to try and chance my mind, this is how I feel. And I feel this way for all of you. We were blessed with so much and so many times we have to see what is important. We all are. I was sent to serve purpose to give back a gift, and I'm trying to do that. I do have hugs for all of you {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{PD LIST}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm tired I had a trip to chicago - new doctor. I thought I sent a message, but if not that's ok. TTFN Gina
