when we find ourselves
in a place of presence,
a position of pretense,
or a posture of presumption
that no one else can grasp ---

when we observe events
in the scope of here's and now's
whether they be political and cultural
or whether they be spiritual or temporal
that others deem we declare as

SOMETHING ---

whether plagiarism or principle,
whether pontification or presupposition--
unless the people come first--
as long as the somethings are
untouchable
unreachable and
unexplainable... then it is nothing.

Optional: You are cordially invited to join me in my blog group on My.BarackObama.com. (See link below).

Note:  As an avowed Independent-labled voter---If the Clintons end up as the nominees (you know Bill will be right back in there with "pillow talk")...my family is voting for McCain if Hillary is the Democratic nominee. Republicans can't get along with each other. Nobody will be able to get along with Hillary in Congress except the women and maybe not even all of them, not to mention the machismo attitudes from overseas. Both Obama and McCain are winners in my book for the candidates as president of the USA. 

(As for my kitty friend in the picture...he's voting for Garfield the Cat.)
   
Take this short test on prejudice:
First: Watch this video
Next: Guess where these recording artists are producing this video and their upbringing. (Country where they were raised.)

Caution: PLEASE don't be fooled by appearances. I sure was, and it taught me a lesson about how not only myself, but ALL of us, need to open our minds.

Remember, Timothy McVey, an American citizen, was a terrorist. And he wasn't Islamic OR Muslim either.

Some so-called Christian Americans can be EXTREMELY dangerous. That doesn't mean all Christians are religious nuts.
