Saddam Hussein is dead. Hanged.
What a wild world we live in.. cell phone journalism.
Saddam; the smoke, spewed rocks, and cone of the volcano.
A force of another kind of nature: man. Stripped away from the legion of men that shared his terrible predilection for violent force. Alone, he is just one zealous old man. A bully in the sandbox. Just one man. Easily murdered. Easily disposed of by other zealots, and,..oops..who else, in the closet zealots? Consequence, cause and effect..still, something feels really 'wrong' in it. A lost opportunity of some sort.

When will the American people be at liberty to pick a true leader?
A truly intelligent person to up-hold, and inspire the higher virtues of Liberty and Justice.
What am I thinking?...are the majority of voting Americans struggling with poverty, illiteracy, racial issues,( immigration)?

ANYHOW: Education for the people. For all people, everywhere.
It's basic and simple.
Clean air, food and water, exercise, education.
Not education as 'the regurgitation of information given',
but as brain circuitry thought gymnastics, light in the eyes, thunder and lightening, and sunshine, and spring rain in the imagination, enlightening.

Patriotism is tremendously fertile ground for sowers with the will to power OVER. Propagandists of partiality. Prejudice.
Religion is a field fertilized in blood for hatred, for fear, for controlling masses of people, for accommodating their naive denial of self-responsibility.
The politic of sex and gender, of power, (at least the commonly recognized forms), seduction, the wheel of karma, laws of nature, survival, the vices.

wOO Maltese! wOO, steady!
Guess the stress has gotten me!!
I need the sun, a lonely stretch of soft white sand, the warm sea, and an exceptional friend.
