Now when my Government tells me we have to defend ourselves and our way of life by waging a war halfway around the world I call bull****- I don't give a rat's arse about Iraqis any more than I gave a rat's arse about the VNs.

I've changed my opinions on Abortion, Drug Policy, and the viability of arms control policies with regard to nuclear weapons.

But it's not true.

Dam! I was gonna go with the coriolis force thing, but I guess I'll just settle for the Iraq war... I was all for it at the beginning.

When I was a young man I hade racist tendencies although not 100% full blown racist as I knew in my heart it was wrong I had not yet matured to the point to look inside myself yet to learn what I could do to change my way of thinkng and acting.

Although it is a continuing process I will work on it the rest of my life to become a better man to myslef and to those whom I share this world with.

And thru this journey of self discovery I have learned that ALL people are beautiful and offer many gifts to us all.

All we have to do is put down the sheild of hate and those gifts will better all of us.

I did consider me as a Christian as well. To many abused this word and made it dirty. Thanks for saving me from hipocricy, all you "God-fearing" people.

I used to believe in the basic goodness of people.

I have since seen that that is not the case in alot of people.  In fact, money and greed have become such a driving factor in most peoples lives that they have long since gone beyond the levels of common decency.

Depressing when you think about it.
