		<description><![CDATA[Howie,
The pessimistic view you have is not mine of you, but yours as stated by you.

As you say, you correct me, I do not believe that is the case.  Your life is not mine and we hold much different viewpoints, means of action and reaction, and point of view and experience.  Yours is not correct to me just as mine would not be to you.

Your realistic viewpoint to the world, comes from a pessimistic basis to create that viewpoint.  Just as you state, as a ship has a hole and will sink due to its running into a chunk of ice, a realistic viewpoint is that hole created by the continuation of pessimistic thought.

Just because the world is chaotic and seems to be running out of control, I agree with you that this is not the case.  It is just perceived to be out of the control of humans, but the world is much in control of itself.

This path is not the result, but the path.  The result has not come and we still have the ability to make things right.  If everyone feels that the result is here there will be no action in which to make things right and the &quot;result&quot; will be manifested.  If the attitudes are changed to which the result is not upon us, than there is hope that the world can become a better place.

We have not reached a result.  That is my point.  We have the capacity to make things change.  We have the capacity to find new paths to new results.  A result is a finality and I believe that there is not such thing as finality.

Finality, perfection and other words such as these which humans attempt to define a permanance do not exist.  I would venture to state that Carr is continually playing with his creations because he is always looking for new ways to perfect the previous.

Things change.  Results can be changed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think anon22 was talking about this article. 
===================================
Conservative media figures are blasting Democrats for trying to draw political gain from the death of Senator Ted Kennedy. But on Thursday, it was one of their own -- former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- who went there.

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate suggested during his radio show, &quot;The Huckabee Report,&quot; on Thursday that, under President Obama&#039;s health care plan, Kennedy would have been told to &quot;go home to take pain pills and die&quot; during his last year of life.

&quot;[I]t was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors who don&#039;t have as long to live might want to consider just taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them,&quot; said Huckabee. &quot;Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not. He freely did what most of us would do. He choose an expensive operation and painful follow up treatments. He saw his work as vitally important and so he fought for every minute he could stay on this earth doing it. He would be a very fortunate man if his heroic last few months were what future generations remember him most for.&quot;
============================================
This shows that those that claim the greatest religious affiliation are usually liars, adulterers, pedophiles, or people who would do anything for a few dollars more. 

Look at the popes most of them are priests that come up from the ranks. Hence they have been one or more of the above at one time or another. The major pastors who have risen to the top of their profession of scamming the pious. 

On the one hand you could feel sorry for the flock, But if you thought seriously about them you would eventually arrive at the conclusion that most of the flock are people who want to believe that they are better that the rest of us because of their special relationship with their god. They think they have the right to decide for us what we should believe about god. 

So I say fuckem. They are getting just what they deserve. The catholics and the protestants are for the most part people who want to believe that they are better than the rest of us because god loves them best. 

So why should we be concerned that their religious leaders are fucking em for a few dollars more?  Well the answer is simple. When that ignorant flock can be convinced to vote in significant numbers to put disgusting assholes in office it fucks us all. 

Need I say more?

Death panels are a lie. Huckabee is a liar. Huckabee, are liars going to get into heaven when this whole armageddon thing happens?]]></description>
