Wants the Death Penalty
of COURSE not for himself
In the name of compassion for the victims
he wants death penalty
Ben derides those against the death penalty
as having compassion for the wrong people.

SHADES of George W. Bush
use your rational mind Ben Ferguson
there IS another option if you can hear
People that are against the death penalty
have compassion for BOTH the victim
AND the criminal who is also human,
even after committing a criminal act.
Keep the criminal isolated from society
for the rest of his life. It does not matter
whether he confesses to the crime or not,
he Knows why he is being isolated,
guilty, or not guilty.

We have all the evidence any rational mind should need,
to know, in America, we have murdered innocent people.
Do not believe, if you so choose,
the statistics that tell us the death penalty
does not deter crime, but
KNOW, every time an innocent person is put to death
those who support the death penalty
also have blood on their hands.

(Ben is only 21, so there is still hope, for him)

“Duck for cover”

boy riding bicycle
jumps of and ducks for cover
in black and white like the time of old movies
that time when children were taught and drilled
to take cover – in case the sirens signaled
a nuclear attach

flip to a full color specter and get
the rest of the commercial story

Shame! Shame you Sprint
and your commercial and ad personnel.
It is not good to capitalize on fear.

when will they ever learn never
Poe never Poe never Poe
not in our names the victims told them
ain’t gonna study war no more the 60’s told ’em too
no one ever again will be able to justify wars
dropping bombs on civilians
NOT collateral damage, out! you lethal word spinners, out!
oh no, the bombs are not to dropped to kill people
it is to acquire land, natural resources,
most especially water rights
now they want the seeds rights of corn and beans
slaves now need to buy their drinking water
if they can afford it or if/when available
and when they turn their military on their own citizens
because they could not control dissenters
and when they kill their own countrymen
will we hear once again the pre Nurermberg trials defense
“I was just following orders.”

Was it true, Ohio National Guardsman,
when I told you the National Guard was Kent State
you told me “After Kent State the Guard added to its oath
it was our duty to follow our own consciousness,
in regards to following orders.

When all military personnel take this oath of consciousness
I’ll listen to your “Defensive wars.”

From this day till that, All wars will be Vile…Offensive.

“I guess the intriguing thing, Tim, on the whole thing, this question
of whether or not the Iraqis were trying to acquire uranium in Africa. ….
I don’t know what the truth is on the ground with respect to that.

Shooting 13 February 2006: “I taut I saw yellow cakes commin’ to git me.”

Posted December 9, 2003: The Humane Society of the United States
deplores the shooting of captive birds and animals where traditional
“fair chase” hunting ethics are discarded and kills are guaranteed.
We are campaigning to outlaw canned hunts through federal and state
legislation.

Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier Township: 500 pen-raised pheasants released from nets for the benefit of him and his party. Cheney was credited with shooting more than 70 of the pen-reared fowl.

The 40,000 member organization of rich trophy collectors has doled out close to $600,000 in campaign contributions among GOP candidates in the past six years. President Bush appointed a former top lobbyist of the Safari Club to be the deputy director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

IS IT ANY WONDER BIRD’S FLU?

if’n the elfin didn’t hear it
he refused to dance if’n
he could not dance he’d
pisadear
cause if’n he could not play
he’n could not survive
heart of deer
soul of lamb
spirit of curiosity
tiny little steps
so tall the ladder
we all fear
we all fall down
the tree and the bridge in Brooklyn
sold to el casino
it was Brooklyn Indians that owned Manhattan
not the other way around.
There is a path that heroes walk
like Jesus and long hair
wounded but still walking
Today Jesus cried: seeing
all the blood shed thinking to own
Sacred Ground; wondering
why there was no understanding
that all ground is sacred; hearing
110 million orphans wailing, finding
waring Christians, Muslims, Jews; smelling
dumpsters full of rotting foods
But how to go on with soo many sad tales
it is 11:11 Sunday morning
And as we wonder where we are
it’s so lonesome we all should cry.

is the current anger
over political cartoons
related dandruff?

who will dare to ask the trooper
who has lost limbs
how they feel about the Rummy cartoon?

who will ask a moderate Muslim
how they feel
about the Muhammad cartoon?

the best answer
when one feels their own dandruff rising
is to hold up a mirror

When Chickens Come Home to Roost

Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, established in 1946 in Gaza.After 1967, the main front organization of the brotherhood was Ahmad Yassin ‘s Mujama‘ (established 1973), a welfare charity (clinics, kindergartens, education), that was encouraged by Israeli civilian administration in Gaza to apply for registered charity status in 1978 and was indirectly funded by Israel as a means of dividing Palestinian society.

Sound familiar? Osama bin Laden was our terrorists before he became al Qaeda’s. Saddam was our terrorist before he became the butcher of Iraqis.
