This article was written months ago but I never published it. The timing is a little off, but relevant to recent media coverage. This is just one strand, a single noodle pulled from a bowl full of twisted, soggy, limp and tasteless others. One could easily reach into the bowl, pull yet another strand from the pile, and scrutinize it with a reasonalbe level of quality assurance for flaws or defects; and find that further attention is required. Something just isn't right. Even more amazing is the fact that MOST OF US know it already. We can smell it. It just doesn't pass the smell test.

Am I preaching to the choir by trying to reach those whom identify themselves with the 'media' conceived labeling system. Those whom have been called working class whites. Those whom have been said to be lesser educated. .........could we expect them to be computer or internet illiterate?........ Of course these so-called lesser educated white voters are capable of choosing a candidate that would have their best concerns in mind. No doubt about it. They are also capable of seeing past the skin color of a candidate. They are not stupid or easily manipulated.

You may have heard one of the talking heads recklessly throw you in a categorical box with others of your age group, gender, race, income bracket, religion or political ideology. Then immediately follow with some stereotypical assertion. You may realize how they sound so matter-of-fact. No hesitation. No acknowledgment whatsoever that there ARE other views, directions, possibilities or options. You would think that the major media sources have ample staff that could creatively find ways to retain the interest of their potential viewers. You wouldn't think that 7 straight days of the same recorded comments, one sided commentary from the host and predictable responses from supposed expert guests, is what they came up with.

..the question we must all ask of ourselves; what is my role, where does my responsibility begin and end, and how do my actions or inaction affect the outcome? ........ Dr. King was spat on, verbally and physically assaulted, handcuffed, jailed, threatened, falsely accused and chastised by US federal agents. Yet he was not detoured. He knew that his life was at risk, he also was willing to sacrifice the already fragile security of those he loved. Dr. King was entrusted with a message, an inner-vision that was from a higher level of consciousness. He was inspired by a cause greater than himself. He was motivated to deliver a message, and the messenger was willing to sacrifice everything to complete his mission........This article / opinion took me on a journey that I didn't forsee. To avoid my own personal interpretation of published works, (the yellow and green highlighted sections) I went to the sources and copied the original text. This became an extensive project. Thanks to the Internet, there is a vast amount of information from various angles. In the near future, I hope to share more of the interesting information that I ran across. Some of the highlighted areas above, will be revisited more extensively in order to give the topic matter that I found eye-opening the attention it deserves. I hope you too find the nuggets of information that many people have taken the time to research, gather, study, test and make available to us, enlightening

In the wake of numerous Congressional hearings, passionate remarks from the White House, and deeply divisive commentary on television and radio; the practice of spying on American citizens has yet to be resolved. Publicly that is. The very fact that we as citizens have no clear understanding of ho...

This journey traversed mutiple dimensions of time and such. Therefore, the reader should be prepared to move freely accordingly. The vision was an emtional expression entrusted to me with great difficulty and turmoil, therefore, I chose to relay to you un-altered. It is my hope, the readers know how deeply intrusive each second of war can be.

Do we thoughtlessly support them by keeping them in a conflict between groups of people that don't particularly care for them? Are the torture tactics and door to door intrusions supported by the people we are liberating, and worthy of your support? Do our politicians that vibrantly urge us to support the troops, show their support by making sure their protective gear and vehicles are up to par? Do these same politicians vote to increase the money to care for these troops when medical, mental and spiritual healing is needed? Have the rehabilitation services for our veterans been given the same vigor and focus as we see demonstrated while ordering them into war?
