Pointless Wars

By Lapieh Landu*

One world alienated
Into poles apart
Land and sea
Hatred and love
‘Men and women;'
Species - one

Minds comparable
Physique unlike
Yet aptitudes equivalent
Why now do we detach ourselves?
Compare, contrast, evaluate

Who is superior, who is stronger?
Whose intellect substantiates?
Pointless it all seems
For the peak of origins
Are yet to science indefinite

As men’s origins are of the womb
Biblically, women- a rib from his side
Persist, quarrel, and battle
But ‘equality’ murders all questions
Quenches all prejudice, hatred and biasness

For in the eyes of God, the spring of all
Indistinguishable we linger
Only when we experience a reduction by the contrary
Acceptance becomes our stepping stone

Beating the scare tactics

David,

Members of Congress have been home for just a few days, and they're already facing increased pressure from insurance companies, special interests, and partisan attack organizations that are spending millions to block health insurance reform.

These groups are using scare tactics and spreading smears about the President's plan for reform, trying to incite constituents into lashing out at their representatives and disrupting their events. The goal of these disruptions is for a few people to get a lot of media attention and hijack the entire public discourse.

If they succeed, all Americans -- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents -- will continue to struggle under the broken status quo. It's up to us to show Congress that those loudly opposing reform are a tiny minority being stirred up by special interests, and that a huge majority strongly supports enacting real health insurance reform in 2009.

Your representative, John Barrow, needs to hear that voters are demanding health insurance reform this year. Can you call the local office in Sandersville? Let the person who answers know that you're a constituent. Then tell them: "Please fight for real health insurance reform in 2009. Americans are suffering under the current system and need change."

According to our records, you live in Georgia's 12th congressional district. Please call: Rep. John Barrow at 478-553-1923. Once you've made your call, click here to report it.
(Not your representative? Click here to look yours up.)

Calling should only take a few minutes, but it's a huge help. These local offices serve as the main connection between a member of Congress and voters in the district. And with representatives home on recess, the staff there are in daily contact with your member, keeping them updated on how many calls they receive that are for or against reform.

Once you've called, please tell us. Knowing how many calls are coming in from all around the country will help us better plan our campaign -- and help us show that the American people overwhelmingly want health insurance reform this year. Let us know you called: Click here to inform the center.

Thanks,

Mitch

Perils of a Catholic Upbringing

As I walked down the busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for Mass, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Some people turned to stare.

Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them. Recalling my old pastor, Father Martin , who always admonished me to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.

Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.

Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty.A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out and touch this person!"


So I did.

I won't be at Mass this week.

Rare friends

Suryia and Roscoe - Best Of Friends

Where you lead, I will follow...best friends Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the Blue Tick hound

Doggy paddle's the order of the day here for the couple who live at the Tigers sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Suryia and Roscoe spend hours together every day - they're particularly keen on swimming.

The two mates see the funny side of most things

There's always time to chill

For once, Roscoe's letting it all hang out

The three-year-old orangutan goes everywhere with Roscoe

A dog's not just a man's best friend, he's an orangutan's too!
