Dulce et Decorum Est

Now, now, it's just a Proverb... It's amazing; from the comments alone a book could be written. Paradise comes from non-attachment...

It is so simple yet so elusive... If practiced by the world it would be our second giant leap. Also, this means all things not just human

Indeed - we never learn as a human race whereby animals do

From this government that is unlikely

Write to Bush about Uganda and the children that are being abused where is our mighty army for those who have deepest of misery - alas Ugnada has little oil reserves

Excellent Reston - It's my experience the older I get the less convinced I am of devine intervention and more convinced of man's inhumanity towards himself. It has also been my experience that religion leans towards intolerance based, not on the simple test of compashion but rather, on some ancient writing that has no baring on reality.

These sentiments are fuel for hatred and intolerance - until we move away from this kind of rhetoric we shall remain with our backs to the sun, ignorant to our true self.

If you can rid your religion of the fundamentalists, but be vocal and critical of that dangerous group, then I'll stand by.

I believe we muddy the water when we designate things. All you need in a house is a good heart and integrity, and in your schools, a comprehensive liberal education - the rest will follow.

On these two have wars been made - with kindness and love in place of morality and religion the hate and intolerance would evaporate

It is also full of hate and intolerance, which if you were to balance the two you may end up with "0"

It's hard to believe he said this

This is foolish - there is definitely a need to read history books on the subject. If there is a need to use guns against the government then would the last person please switch out the light - really...

O Sunday, you have a lot to answer for...

Excellent! As shown by our current situation.

Excellent! keep them coming - We must learn the art of debate and move away from personal pride and respect each others opinions even though we may emphatically disagree

you see, there are people who have something between their ears and think for themselves. I'm proud to be a Robert - It's time to throw the spear...

Perhaps we should adopt this tradition

I believe this thinking is totally outdated - if anything, it will be the fascists, representing the far right and the church, against the liberals, representing the people - the Elephant and the Donkey will be replaced by Darth Vader and Yoda

101% right-on

And that is what will implode our country if we just sit back and allow it to happen - its really very simple; the good must overcome the evil - in other words, just because its not effecting you YET it will - listen to the cries of your brothers and sisters and get off your ... and do something about it...

Is Civil War inevitable? It seems the fundamentalists and the progressive movement are separating even in our colleges -- this never happened when I was a student; Trotskyites, liberals, right wing conservatives would all be in the same room discussing each others points of view (the wine wasn't bad either) -- it was very healthy.

We are obviously still the apes from the caves with a bone in our hand to crush the skull of our friend - nothing much has changed since then...

The sooner we stop the I, me and you, and discuss the us, all, and we, the sooner we shall return to a humane society regardless of country, society or institution – that’s where my loyalty shall rest.
