••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

open letter to ambitious flip-floppers

to all politicians who favored the 2002 force authorization but now see the error of invading iraq:

thank you for changing your position.

doing so was the right decision, but, for the good of the country, do not seek the presidency.

frankly, you don't think like a chief executive needs to think. if you didn't see thru the bush admin claims 4 years ago, your thinking was stuck deep "inside the box."

much as i respect your new awareness and change of course, what this country needs is a president who thinks freely enough to have recognized all along that the hawks didn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt, so war wasn't justified.

fortunately or unfortunately, we voters have a tendency to like candidates with the common touch—folks like ourselves, somebody we'd want to have a beer with.

so we often elect ordinary joes who let their passions rule their reason and whose thinking is commonplace instead of common sense.

we need to get over it. these are difficult and dangerous times. a lot of very complex issues have emerged.

elitist as it may sound, we need somebody superior in the white house.
