As George Carlin had stated in one of his dvds(and it may merely be his opinion or just part of his act), more people have been killed in the name of god than any other reason... "my god has a bigger dick than your god..pow..dead.."..kudos to those who are religious but do good things for their neighbors because its right, not because it makes them look better than someone else...I think atheists would actually be LESS inclined to brutality knowing that once life is gone. it's gone, that's it, hope it was fun..stop and smell the roses while you can.Mr.Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558542439592299078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-28839954139825835762010-08-14T12:18:44.839-04:002010-08-14T12:18:44.839-04:00Hi Beth,

It's great you get a response from ...Hey Beth,<br /><br />It's great you get a response from your governor. I got a return telephone call from from the office manager of my Senator, Saxby Chambliss about conditions in the VA hospitals. The kicker was that I contacted his office about a VA hospital way out of his district in another state. When I got the call, I explained my concerns. About a day or two later, I got another call from his office manager stating that Sen. Chambliss was on the Senate Armed Service Committee and agreed to investigate it.<br /><br />Never underestimate the power of one.

At least your response somewhat addressed the comments you wrote to him. Every time I wrote to our senator, Jerk Gregg. Oh, sorry, I mean Judd Gregg, all I got back was a standard form letter that never addressed any of my points, but told me in no uncertain terms what his position on the issue was. Which, of course, were always opposite of mine. So at least he read it, or someone did, and responded to your points. It's something.<br /><br />Good post by the way.

If I had an idea then I would guess.<br /><br />As to the Govenor, a lot of the religious fervor these politicians speak with is out of expediancy. I do not want to say that the country is leaning towards being more religous, but it has become purposely stupid and prone to look for the easy way out instead of engaging their minds. How else do you explain the inanity from the right side of the aisle in Congress and the duplicity on the left?<br /><br />Religion ushered in the dark age. There is too much access to information for things to come to be that bad again, but this is certainly a 'dim age'. People are more inclined to let someone else do the goat thinkin' for them because of all the pressure they have in striving for whatever it is they strive for, entails in effort.<br /><br />Consumed in believing the non-essential is essential (Paris Hilton... Lindsay Lohan... Justin freakin' Bieber!) it really is a Bizzaro world and those who are benefiting from the upside down values are using the social marketplace to take advantage of the resistance that has been built up to intellectualism.<br /><br />Ayn Rand was on to something ... but that is for another day!Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-20136834250563889872010-08-12T20:35:00.575-04:002010-08-12T20:35:00.575-04:00Shocked you got a response.Shocked you got a response.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-56574023632018679692010-08-12T20:17:59.360-04:002010-08-12T20:17:59.360-04:00ack!!!
