I could relate such anecdotes, but you did it better.<BR/>I also have been thinking of the negatives in the world, and the pain and loss caused by mistaken notions by a few of how they think the world ought to work.<BR/><BR/>I have little faith the democratic senators and congressmen can accomplish anything. Pres. Bush cares not a fig what anyone thinks, and he'll keep his veto pen loaded with plenty of ink. Perhaps more discouraging to me is the lack of much expression by the new electees about a number of issues which concern me. The environment gets little mention, for example. I'm not going into a rant here.<BR/><BR/>Your post wasn't dark by me.gerry rosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095232815291651669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1167806281860763622007-01-02T22:38:00.000-08:002007-01-02T22:38:00.000-08:00You know what?

I use the word simplistic only because it seems that if we viewed everything more "simply" perhaps we would not get caught up in all of this war and death and hate. Because, you are right, why can't we just eat each others food, buy each other's art and SPEAK to one another...learn from one another. When one thinks about it in the terms you present here, the madness of the world makes even LESS sense than it did to begin with.<BR/><BR/>No, I think this post is a big gift...and wonderful reminder.

I can't understand either how some can actively want and wage war, I can understand it somehow from those who have so little, if anything, but then you look at people like Saddam Hussein, who had all the riches and palaces he could want, and still, he had to pour nerve gas on people and murder and pillage at whim. I'm split- half is filled with dread and doom, and the other half with hope and excitement. YOU are one of the spirits & hearts that make the world as bright & kind as its meant to be so keep on illuiminating the way!
