And what's a Right-Wing thing?

Stabbing a Prime Minister in the back then
blaming him for bleeding on the carpet and
not cleaning up the mess ( not helping win in Wentworth)?

Delusions of adequacy?

Bible? look at it this way why would God let so many other Gods exist?
Once the American Christian right became Trump supporters any claim to Godliness died
Like the continuing support for Trump, it proves my point you can sell an extremist any thing
Hate, blind hate, is Trump's main weapon

Dear Belly,

When you elect a bigot, the bigotry increases.

Now back to the topic...

There's ample evidence in historical records that
hate has very deep roots. We read about the etnic
cleansing of the Rohingya - a Muslim ethnic
minority in Myanmar who continue to be brutally
raped, tortured and killed by military militias
for no apparent reason other than hate. And this in
a primarily Buddhist culture ruled by a gentle woman -
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who received the Nobel Prize
for Peace in 1991.

We know about the killing fields that have existed
within recent memory. Their existence reminds us all
of the veracity of hate.

I fear that our world can become so obsessed with the
problems of hatred and aggression, that it will allow
peace and love to be regarded as soft and weak. Yet
our survival depends on their dominance.

Stephen Vincent Benet's prophecy may just come true if we're
not careful:

"Oh where are you coming from soldier, gaunt soldier
With weapons beyond any reach of my mind
With weapons so deadly
The world must grow older
And die in its tracks if it does not turn kind."

How much does our world spend on the arms bill?
While ever more people suffer from illiteracy, ill
health and chronic hunger.

We need new ways of thinking to cope with the nuclear
age.

Yeats described it well:

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

David F.,

Thank You.

Peace is that quiet time whilst everyone stands around reloading.
