Hmm - is that a koan?

I’ve been very literal minded lately and don’t get nuances...

Didactly, no; but curiously related in tone.

Simple certainties oft prove certainly simple.

In language there is wealth and wealth is soon splurged; in nuance there’s caution and economy held closely tight; released in but bits when people bravely face fright.

But when one engages in punditry, then language and nuance mate with careless abandon and the Devil may take.

Caution — I have a habit of crafting my own words...

I don't understand. How does money in politics trump basic good sense in ethics and the survival of civilization? Are there that many blind voters?

I must be that naive.

I'm afraid the few remaining states that have mere laws on their books defining real marriage are going to wake up too late to do much about the onslaught of these well-funded homo-activists. As a few more fall by judicial fiat, against the express wishes of those states’ citizens, I'm sure others will scramble to implement their own amendments. But the momentum of the courts’ recent decisions will be with the moral anarchists, and we can expect more and more successful challenges to implementing these amendments.

My ride on earth is winding down, looking forward with anticipation towards the next door to open. But maybe I still have work to do in this dwelling, even if the task is small.

TIM GILL ...If you have not heard this name, you are in the dark about what is going on with this issue. Tim Gill is a gay, Colorado millionaire who has been funding gay friendly candidates for about four years now. He started an organization that studies the candidates at the local levels in many states. He targets any candidate who takes a pro-family position. He then sends money to that candidates opponent with the condition that he/she vote for the pro-gay agenda. Gill then floods the district with repeated negative mailings about the pro-family candidate. He never mentions anything about gay issues instead he makes negative accusations against the pro-family candidate. The voters see all of this negative stuff about the pro-family candidate and they vote against him/her. The voters are being deceived and manipulated.

What I would like to know is - what are the churches doing? Are they all waiting for the Rapture while our country goes to Hell? Millions of people are at church every Sunday, what a force they could be if they used their organization and social networks to inform the people and get them united to save our country.
