five thirty am
Cecil I don't mean to turn this into a jam,
yes it is always we,
we have met the enemy and they are us
but sometimes here in
this world of duality
I am not sure how helpful it is to be so transcendent. I could say I think, but it ain't exactly thought, I could say I feel but it is more than a feeling. I suppose it is a gut instinct. Sometimes it is necessary for mere people to go with their instincts.
I know George W Bush and me is both we. And I do feel compassion for that mighty smighty god of his. Even if we are we, we are not the same. I went with my gut instinct on this, I think there has to be some discrimination here. That christian god he worships has put corrupt incompetent people at every level of our government. But they are not the worse.
The sad part of all this is I can't remember how we started out with this. This is about the aftermath. About a storm. About nature. They say the worse thing that christian theology has done is to take man out of nature, we are the measure of all things. Not exactly where jimboloco was going with his
We
NOt sure where I am going either.
It was not Hurricane Katrina that brought the devastation as much as it was our own inability to prepare for the inevitable, but yet we point the finger of blame on Nature and cry out how could God allow this to happen, as if God was responsible for our ignorance.
I am sorry I got so glib here. I suppose we do not humanize god, and they do.
They got a pal in god, their personal saviour, he balances the book of their conscience, with god on their side.
The mess in new orleans was an act of god, the natural world, and we are all part of that creation. It was not our inability to prepare for the inevitable, it was our destruction of the enviorment that created the catastrophe. (long story about the levees and barrier islands, and wetlands, and the city of new orleans sinking because the alluvial soil is compacting and not flooding of the river which keeps building up the land) long story not to go there now.
So jimbo's point is, he is not pointing his finger at nature, he is pointing it at those we of us who appointed corrupt incompetent people and goes to bed at night with a clear conscience because he knows we the people are all god's children.
got dame my alarm clock just went off. I had it set for six am, but at five thrty am my bladder woke me up. So I have been sitting here a half hour typing. And starting to squirm because I have not taken care of bussiness. Got to go. hope you can decipher this.
