What a World We Live In...

How do things become top priorities and the most important things in our lives? The Michael Jackson incident, for instance, a guy accused of sharing his bed with young boys and doing who knows what else. This stayed on the front pages of every newspaper in the world for so long it was sickening; and no one was physically harmed! Or the Kobe Bryant incident; Kobe getting away with a vicious rape. OJ Simpsom murdering his ex-wife and her friend and getting away with it.
And, of course, for those of you who feel everything must be balanced out, the Robert Blake incident and the Menendes Brothers, the former getting away with (some feel) murder, the latter convicted of the heinous crime of killing their parents.

These are important things in our lives, of course. But how high should they be in our list of priorities?

Princess (?) Diannes' death and the passing of Sister Theresa, a wonderful Catholic Nun who dedicated her life for the poor and needy. The death of Dianne, once a Princess, evoked sorrow almost without limit and filled the front page for months. While the real hero, Sister Theresas' death was barely front page material for a day.

Yeah, yeah! Where is this going?- All right...here it is in a nut shell.

While perusing blog comments yesterday, I read a dozen comments by Americans and others who were offended because some of us think burning our national symbol, the American Flag, should be a crime.

And where now is the rage over the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers? Now some fine people are complaining because of alleged bad treatment of the terrorist captives in Quantanamo Bay.

Why are not people who know what is really going on insisting on checking out every Muslim organization in this country.

All Muslims are, by command of their Koran, enemies of all Christians, Jews and all other non-Muslims. Don't believe me; read for yourself.

And now the Saudis are extorting money from us by allowing the OPEC nations to triple the price of oil in the last six months.

And our president is to cowardly to do what he can do to stop it.

Oh, Yeah, you say, and what can I do about that?
Nothing. Just sit on your ass and worry about Michael fondling himself and about Kobe, Blake and OJ!

I believe our greatest priority should be for the safety and security of this Nation. And the protection of our troops who are risking their lives for us. The ridiculously high price of oil presents a direct threat to our troops. And it could very well cause another financial crash like what happened in 1929.

We need to write and call our reps and senators and the president and insist they do something about all this. It might not do any good but itcertainly won't if we don't do anything! Later...
