Random Thought Of The Day

Amid all the hoopla around President Dubba right now (when is he not doing something idiotic?). And his new "threat" to Democrats...("I will find a way to fund this war!") it's interesting that my Backwards Bush countdown clock (from backwardsbush.com) now says "Days Left in Office: 666 days..." Ha, if that's not a sign, I don't know what is.

Go Hillary!

Soul For Sale

It's a bit disturbing how our society is today and what we value most. The old adage goes "Money is the root of all evil." More accurately...the love of money is the root of all evil. In almost every scandal we can look back on...it was the love of it that drove people to do reprehensible things. Money and material possessions it seems are tearing at the very fiber of our beings. The drive for it, the greed for it, the want of it. At times it prevents us from seeing what is really important in life. It's not money. It's not getting it, having it, and keeping it. It's about life. Inanimate objects aren't going anywhere. They will eventually dissolve, like salt to water. We on the other hand are a little different. We might have a shot at something else. Something bigger. If we continue to search for happiness in things that only have temporary life, we're only applying a band-aid to a very deep wound. Instead, we should apply our energy, and direct our desires towards love, compassion, and such. Whatever your drug of choice may be. Things that metaphorically speaking, never die. We should stop selling our souls. If we don't, we'll have nothing left.
