At times my frustration allows the undercurrent that is my anger bubble to the surface. Such was the case while writing the piece you reference. That anger is compounded this New Year's Day by the obscene milestone of 3,000 deaths of U.S. servicemembers. I weep with the parents and loved ones, I also weep for what my country has become and what it will still become unless we - one and all - make a change. Thank you for sharing your kind words. - Frank Pitz Mon, 01 Jan 2007 22:53:52 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/534-qding-dong-the-witch-is-deadq-saddam-hung-by-the-neck.html#comment-468 I never intended to watch such an appalling sight. A hanging. Tension subsequently reel like an out-of-control, mental dvd stuck, replay---Watch Again? Once is too much, but we must Look with aversion at Idiots who also deserve indictment. I would Not wish to emulate by 'hanging' any scapegoat person, but, our society is struggling, and sinking under the weight of neo-con's rule. Prosecute. Evidence is there. In a very sad manner of expression, Frank Pitz showed/expressed outrage. Thanks. Our spirtual emptiness in American society, in general, makes it very difficult, I'd say so too. How to say? None are perfect, sure, and we've all been betrayed in different ways...Some worst than others. I remember bloody images that never go away 35 years later a post-military-draft. In '90, I revisited Hanoi to hear truthfulness from mother's who'd tell of bomb-metal beheading sleeping infants, and to help build with American Veterans a Friendship Yien Vien Clinic, after the '72 Christmas B-52 bombing of THAT same civilian-medical clinic...was a great honor. Healing can come but the struggle never ends. True for all, I hope. We can't depict any positive (I share with a tense-disgust, agreeing most-part, with the author's basic sentiment) evolving of a better world/society, as long as we accomodate our contemporary murders mentioned above. S.H., we all admit was Not a saint. Who is? Does the saying apply, 'If it were not for the s.h.'s personages in the world, there go I?' On the front cover of The Idiot by Dostoevsky, there is a artist illustration from "Christ in the Tomb," (1521 by Hans Holbien) They are both sad image-ilustrations...We see real compelling portraits and walking-dead political figures, especially nowadays...in this dark degraded immoral time that will have psychological impact. We are all in a mediation about death, crony-ism, lies, and we all must Hang in there together to speak of what is rotten in our 'republic.' No thanks to bush's rush-gang WHO promote THIS hell. Meditate, or we sink into despair. Sorry, The pain of all THIS penetrated me deeply. Thanks for allowing me to share. - art j. Mon, 01 Jan 2007 21:16:26 +0100
