Freedom and Democracy is Dying

It's 2am, I just arrived home from work and in 4 hours I'll be heading to New Hampshire.

Should be a fun weekend.

If I wasn't so tired I'd type more.

Perhaps I'll get to update over the weekend.


Bedtime for Bobzo...... 8-)

All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall after all it's not easy
banging your heart against some mad buggers wall

All you need to know to get through life, as advised by Homer Simpson:

"Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel."

"If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers."

"To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems!"

"I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over 50, and if its speed changed, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'"

"I want to share something with you - three sentences that will get you through life:
Number one, 'Cover for me.'
Number two, 'Oh, good idea, boss.'
Number three, 'It was like that when I got here.'"

"Step aside everyone! Sensitive love letters are my specialty. 'Dear Baby, Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you.'"

"Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."

"Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such."

"Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."

"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene.'"

What a wonderful world

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see ’em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin’.. how do you do
They’re really sayin’......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more.....than I’ll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

Patience grasshopper!

I love cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me.

He said I was being ridiculous -- everyone hasn't met me yet.

All I want to say is that we have power in our lives, our prayers, the angels and God.

Get to know thyself.

Life isn't that complicated... at least not more than we create.

Life... what a true gift.. the greatest!

God Still With Us, Says British Cardinal
Addresses Interfaith Meeting in Trafalgar Square

LONDON, JULY 15, 2005 (www.zenit.org).- It is God, not man, who is in charge of history, said the archbishop of Westminster at an interreligious prayer meeting in Trafalgar Square.

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor said in the meeting Thursday that even though "evil has erupted at the heart of our city," God continues to exist and will never be defeated.

The meeting took place the same day that London came to a standstill for two minutes at midday as a mark of respect for the victims of the July 7 terrorist bombings.

"The knowledge that vulnerability and innocence can be exploited by evil can lead us to wish to be invulnerable," the cardinal said. "But it is precisely when we are confronted with evil that we must cling with greater determination to what is good.

"We must be compassionate and above all patient, because it is not we, but God, who is in charge of history."

Healing

In the midst of violence, "evil also summons forth good," the cardinal told those present. "Almost as soon as the wounds appeared, there was healing."

"In these countless small acts, terrorism was defeated," he said.

"God may be mocked by acts of hate, but he is never defeated or reduced," said the cardinal. "And because God was there, holding us, as always, in his hands, cradling us, we showed we could not be corroded.

"We showed that we are made according to God's design, and that no amount of terror, however suddenly and brutally it strikes, can wipe that away."

The cardinal ended his address with the following prayer:

"Lord, we bring before you
those who have been killed and
wounded by acts of terror,

Those scarred in mind and body,
those who live with loss,
or with the memory of fear.

Be with them in their suffering.
Stand beside these victims
with your gentle arm around them
to support them and give them hope.

Bless those who mourn,
especially those who grieve
for their children and loved ones;
and comfort them in this darkest hour.

Renew our resolve
that goodness will prevail,
and our determination to preserve
all that we hold precious.

Turn the minds of those
who seek their aims through terror
to grasp that all life is sacred."

When a child walks down the road, a company of angels goes before him proclaiming, “Make way for the image of the Holy One.”
