OUR CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND

No matter how important our personal family needs, no matter how furiously we try to lose ourselves in our jobs, careers and personal focus, some things must surely stop us in our tracks.

No matter that in a week when a President both adroitly and absurdly compares two National Tragedies, both of which imposed on us through the lies of our government, some things demand we pause to think and review.

No matter how incredibly insensitive and self-serving a mine owner can be in his dismissal of family devastation, for profit, some times we need to reassert our national soul.

No matter how wrapped up we've become with dieting, workouts, pot bellies, & rear end thongs, we must apply our national brakes, and smell our roses before they all whither into dust.

No matter what your political affiliation, no matter if you still feel you can afford not to have one, we must take a moment to access how far we have come, before we're completely, undone.

No matter how much we take for granted a Constitution that most of us have never read, we owe ourselves a read of the administration's manifesto on how to deal with Protestors in America, and not leave it to the ACLU alone, to be our defense against the darkness that now controls 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

No matter what our individual pre-occupation with a roller coaster stock market, a housing crazed media, or the repetition of a Tom DeLay like maneuver in California, we must look to the Gold Star mother and her three sons, for it is this that defines our created monster, Iraq and the malice of a government that so callously makes such sacrifices of other's daughters & sons. THIS is the real tragedy of a frightening political gang & its foolish war, for no war should be fought for secrets untold -- no such unselfish sacrifice made by a mother and her sons, for a selfish government with such an insatiable lust for power and might.

No matter what your vote, no matter what your politics, we must take pause to appreciate what we were, and what we've become. Then cry out to the gods of deception, power and greed: We The People Are Done With You and You Must Go!

Unlike you, we value our young, we live for the future of our families and unlike your pretenses, we honor our moral values as a Nation of Human Decency.
