please remember that 23 US Senators voted against the war (including a Republican) and 133 Congressmembers. there was plenty of smarts to go around, but not a brain between McCain, Clinton and the poll driven hawks.
watch for yourself
I was watching the Today Show this morning and the statement made was: " Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a statistical dead heat.... BUT Hilary is leading 36% to 34%." *continues to scratch head*
Rosa Brooks--excerpt
Obama has good judgment, which trumps mere experience every time. On Iran, he called for engagement and a toning down of bellicose rhetoric. Clinton was instead fanning the flames by voting for an amendment favored by the Bush administration that called the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Obama's judgment...

sweetbutch asked:
why do you like avocados?
because they're creamy & savory/sweet at the same time. awesome with raw peanut butter!!
and how are buddhism and christianity alike in your mind?
most of the Ten Commandments are based on loving thy neighbor & making correct causes based on wisdom and compassion -- similar to the buddhist philosophy of Cause & Effect: right action, thought, words create effects in proportion to whether causes were made of a pure & sincere mind/heart vs. causes made from greed, anger, hunger, animality.
i'm no buddhist scholar, so that is just my humble dos centavos.
...and a good Tuesday evening to you, Sweetbutch! aw, i do love trees... it's one of the many reasons my heart & soul are still in Washington state.
the journey you described above ^ sounds magical & healing.
wishing you many happy night-dusk... twilight-evening happyness-es!
i'm a man
