Speck in the Universe
05/10/2004

If we are just specks in the universe, them we have no control. I have always had it. Most people don't. Life is not fair. We are not all created equal and the longer I live the more I know that to be true. I once knew everything. I now know very little and in that am smarter. I have grown smarter in the middle life. I find that those I see every day have become dulled by life. They hide from reality and stay inside of a cocoon.
It is easy to deal with a minor atrocity, something that doesn't really offend us, but hide from the real intolerance and deadly evil of him. Of course I speak of the three week fervor over a couple of people "embarrassing" some of the nastiest terrorist in a jail and then not even reporting the be-heading of a civilian contractor, working to help rebuild Iraq or the mutilation of 4 men driving oil to port, which brings money into restoring the infrastructure of Iraq. 
We are not worthy to have a Democracy. We are not willing to pay the price. We are destined to collapse from within. We don't have to wait for the Al  Koccooos to do it for us.
