The evil is among us.
What is one to do?
When you examine facts what do you find?
I was in kindergarten in November 1963. My teacher at Scruggs school on South Grand was crying and listening to an old style wood cabinet parabolic shaped radio. I’m sorry Janet Schultz. I did not know then what I think I know now. That weekend, I saw, or think I saw, Oswald getting shot by Ruby. It didn’t make much sense to a 5 year old even then.
In 4th grade MLK bit the dust. My dad said he was just a troublemaker.
On the last day of school that year, RFK took one with powder burns behind the ear, although Sirhan never got close enough to leave powder.
At 10 years old, it’s hard not to believe what you’re told.
They lied.
Curses on the Bush family forever, may their bloodline cease. If I was to tell you that a single male lineage would produce a Director of Small Armaments for WWI, a future Senator cited for trading with the enemy in WWII, a President and CIA head who not only was likely involved in the death of one president, but also undermined another through negotiations with hostage takers, and brought death to thousands of just people of Central America, and a 4th, an alcoholic born again buffoon who killed perhaps a million people in Iraq and who in fact presided during the most heinous mass murder event on US soil (I’d claim he was involved in the planning save for his innate incompetence), what would you say? What would you do?
How many good men must die for evil men to succeed?
JFK, MLK, RFK, John Lennon, Jerry Litton, JFK Jr., 9-11; Paul Wellstone.
How much longer will we let the crimes go unpunished?
I am a lonely American. I don’t believe in our exceptionalism or preeminence. I do however believe that we have as a benefit of our birth here, a country which is founded on exceptional and preeminent principles: Freedoms of Speech, Assembly, and the Right to Bear Arms; Separation of Church and State; One man-One vote.
Those principles have been subverted on behalf of money and power. But thank God for Jefferson, as he understood the potential for such hypocrisy. And the hypocrite deserves more vilification than the criminal because he adds deception to the equation.. The criminal hypocrite deserves the greatest rebuke of all.

One thing and another, I'm giving a talk at a SLUH retreat (where I now teach) and wanted to talk about Joe McDonald's funeral and saw your comment. How are you? How is Matt?
