Civil Rights and the Decline Thereof
Friends,
I feel that we, as citizens of the United States, are losing our preciouse civil rights. Our government has been corrupted by partisionship and paper patriotism. Our Constitution is being trampled.
I intend to create a forum of intelligent insight into what is happening to our world.
Science and reason will rule here. Physdo-science and myth will be ignored.
My sources will generally be; The Denver Rocky Mountain News, The Washington Post, The Financial Times of London, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Onion, Slate, Salon.com and The Pine River Times as the daily papers. My reading is varied. I subscribe to: The New Yorker magazine, Wired magazine, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation newsletter. My favorite novels are Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, Huckleberry Finn, and One Hundred Years of Solitude. I watch: The Lehrer Report, The Daily Show, Southpark, The Simpsons and just about anything on PBS.
I am a member of MoveOn, American Civil Liberties Union, the Denver Botanic Gardens, The Denver Art Museum and Freedom From Religion Foundation.
I feel that it is my responsibility, as a concerned citizen, to speak out and share the truth.
Peace and Love,
Rev O

- I am a fifty-nine year old veteran of the Viet-Nam war (non-combat). I am an Ordained Clergy of The Church of Spiritual Humanism. I am a cleric of Atheism. I was recently retired as a Professional Land Surveyor for over thirty-five years. I have two children who are graduated from college and are successfully working in their chosen fields. I live in Denver, Colorado. I believe that the separation of the church and state is a very important concept in our Constitution. Our civil rights are being trampled by this administration. My civil rights are rapidly receeding as Big Brother continues to watch.

DUBBYA is a apocalyptic fundamentalist... or cynically pandering to a christian version of apocalyptic fundamentalism.
check this...

the author suggests there are three prominent responses to impending apocalypse... nihilism, fundamentalism and activism.
(quoted from the article) "The defining question of our times is this: will we make it? There is a real and increasing possibility that global warming, resource depletion (including 'peak oil'), the growing world population, disease pandemics, technological anarchy, and the geopolitical tensions, economic instability and social upheaval they generate, will coalesce to create a nightmare future for humanity this century.
Avoiding this fate will depend critically on the stories we create to make sense of what is happening and to frame our response. A key task is to ensure these stories reflect, not the decadence and despair of nihilism or the dogma and rigidity of fundamentalism, but the hope and energy of activism."
we see the signs all around us. youth with nothing even resembling hope rampaging with deadly force; great hordes of fundamentalists rallying behind perceived leaders to battle evil forces; and those who stand up and demand to be heard in the chaos.... rev o's rants as an prime example.
anyone who viewed the video rev o. posted for me yesterday will remember this quote.
"they who speak the loudest will determine culture."
if this is true, we cannot sit silent... we must speak out lest we find ourselves living in a theocratic plutocracy, or worse... complete anarchy.
RAVE ON REVEREND!!!
