EXTRA, EXTRA ... read all about it ...

"Congress Demands Phone Records Answers"

taken from Yahoo! News off the AP wire 48 minutes ago .... click HERE to read the entire article.

'Facing intense criticism from Congress, President Bush did not confirm the work of the National Security Agency but sought to assure Americans that their privacy is being "fiercely protected." "We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans," Bush said.'

'fiercely protecting little old me ... my privacy?' from what? what are we sooooooo afraid of? 'i give you not a spirit of fear, but one of love ... and a sound mind' to boot. i do not believe when mr. bush says 'we are not ...' anything.

and, just exactly what is 'mining' and 'trolling'? and if you are not doing it, why are you not like me and not know the jargon of people who do that for a living?

am i really worried about another terrorist attack? no, i'm not.

why not? you ask ...

because i know if one is coming, its coming. if its not, its not. worry changes nothing, it only causes cancer.

as for terrorist attacks ... i think we experience them every single day of our life ... they are on our local news, they are in our movie theaters, they are on the streets in the most urban, over populated cities as well as the smallest farm town in america. we do not need someone to come from another country to terrorize us, we do a good job of doing it to each other.

so, in fact, we are already reaping what we are sowing.

in fact, i believe terror and violence, next to our entertainment industry, is our biggest export.

but ... what can i do about it? i'm teaching myself and my child how to receive the terror, the violence, the hate and transform it into love and kindness. i keep her, for the moment, isolated from anyone claiming to follow jesus who thinks this war thing is a 'righteous' thing. it is murder ... that's all bombs and guns are created for ... killing other human beings and god's creation.

someone has to stop the cycle of terror and violence, why not me ... isn't that what jesus taught ... that i was to be the sacrifice? oh, such a big sacrifice walking the path of peace and love ...... is it really such a challenge? somedays are easier than others.

message to mr. bush: there once was a man named saul ... saul used to murder human beings too. then something changed ... it can happen to you and me too.

time for some new choices not based on deception.

peace & harmony,
elaine
