Friday Post:
I listened and watched yesterday as various media outlets reported the story of vitriolic voicemails, emails and letters threatening some of our Representatives and Senators for the way they voted on the Health Care Bill.
Some of our Congressman received threats of harm and even death threats for their action.
The threats were delivered with foul, uneducated language.
These threatening imbeciles are not intelligent citizens of America. They do not believe in the noble principles of this country. They hide behind their garbage cans stored in the shadows of ignorance.
They are anarchists, perverts, and bigoted souls cloaked in a dogma they do not understand and in a flag that does not belong to them.
The great Justice Learned Hand once said in essence that the spirit of America is tolerance for all shades of opinion, persecution of none.
A democracy does not tolerate bigotry and bullies. It embraces shared conversation, intelligent discourse, the rule of law, and a desire for the greater good, not a partisan gloat.
When all of us breathe our last breath, whether we are either a pauper or rich, there is no treasure stored in the other realms for anger, hatred, and prejudice or bigotry.
The only treasure ever stored in the place beyond here is for service, kindness, forgiveness and unconditional love.
I guess that means I have to forgive these unenlightened bigoted souls!
Damn that's hard.

It is comfortable and remarkably easy to remain in the darkness of ignorance and intolerance, taking refuge in beliefs that one never examines or questions. I believe that it takes real courage to always seek and take advantage of opportunities to self-educate and self-actualize through constant reflection and evaluation throughout life, no matter how difficult and overwhelming. I also feel that it is equally important to serve as a beacon to others through the example that is set when one experiences a long and sometimes arduous path of continued active and voluntary self-evolvement. You are that beacon. Please remember to always forgive but never, ever forget. Please have a safe trip back home.
