The statistics must simply be staggering. It's the great unreported tragedy of humanity. How many potential productive minds are lost to reality shows and obsessive-compulsive behavior patterns? We may never know. How many collective hours of human productivity are lost by daytime television? How many books do children read before the age of ten these days? How many lives would weather control save yearly? 1000? 10000? 100,000? Perhaps a million or more? Perhaps we should demand that the whole crop of present leaders step down due to their causing senseless deaths? First to go would be Chirac for his de facto murder of over 14,000 French elderly whose ghosts pester him each night as he lays down to sleep.

As for the WMD destruction. They did exist. The UN documented the existence of Saddam's WMD. As recently as 1997 Saddam could kill billions of people. This is conveniently forgotten or ignored by those who are illustrating their short and longterm memory dysfunction.

How many youth of today listen to obscenity laced gangsta rap blaring out of their car's subwoofers as they drive, thinking they are closer to some perceived video media driven image of "cool" because of doing so? How much influence does the media have on brains that are not even close to fully developed and will perhaps remain so for a lifetime?

So many questions. So few answers.

I know. You as many other left-leaning minds have succumbed to the hate-Bush propaganda machine generated solely to empower and fund a political party and some political groups. Nature provides us many examples of this phenomenon. The sheep are easily corraled by a barking dog and the lemmings march over the cliff into the sea, mindlessly. The political left is degenerating before our very eyes almost daily. The illogical actions, petty mindsets, selfserving and backstabbing behavior should be self-evident to anyone who has not yet been completely retarded by the various pitfalls to mental development.

Is attempting to reason with one sheep or one lemming an act of utter futility? Perhaps. However, unlike the sheep and the lemmings, man has at least a chance of breaking the cycle of ignorance and breaking from the security-giving embrace of the mindless collective.

Humanity is doomed to death. Birth and death are part of a cycle. Each person has their own particular cycles they have to go through. Being a soldier is dangerous. These new deaths are not purposeless. There lives will not be wasted. They are doing what they believe is right and they knew the risks and the rewards.

The left fulfills both definitions of hysterical these days. Hatred is a self-polluting emotion that brings about no benefits. Then when these leftists feel miserable, they get even more embittered. They blame Bush for their self-created misery and their hatred increases - as does their misery. The vicious cycle has left many leftists in a state that cries out for psychiatric care.

Leftists are, as a rule, angry and unhappy. A political philosophy that perpetually points the finger at others is inherently unintelligent. A large portion of the planet can't comprehend that fact yet. That's why such a large portion of the planet is miserable as they go around blaming the world for their own problems and inequities.

The AMA has identified enough neuroses to describe the actions of Bush-haters. Sadly, being a mutual "Bush hater" - gives the average leftist a sense of comfort and security.

Forgive me the pompous & long lecture. I do this not solely for your benefit but for the HZ as a whole and all the others who will later see this post as it lives on accessed via search engines.

Get well soon Don. All of us here are wishing the best for you.
