 It’s called ‘Intelligent Design’, and it’s what religious advocates want all kids to start learning. But in a country that has laws to separate church and state, as well as the right to freedom of religion where do we draw the line?
First of all – no one has the right to impose religion on anyone in the land of the free. NO ONE. Science is not a religion, and is thereby neutral. Does this mean that children can’t be taught creation? Of course not. They are simply taken to Sunday school or Bible school. There will be those that state that there is no foundation for evolution, no solid evidence (other than scientific discoveries, studies and tangible materials), while other would say the same about creation (which includes scriptures, notes handed down through time and faith). Let me be the first to say that there is nothing wrong with faith. Everyone needs it. Not everyone needs faith in the same thing. And no one can say that your faith is wrong, no matter what you believe. You can even believe in a combination of both. Our laws, however, are in place to protect the rights of all citizens, and that is the way they should stay. |
 Maybe you should ask yourself that more often. I’ll be the first to admit that nothing is better than a fire-grilled burger or steak (still bloody). But who produced it, and under what conditions?
Now, if you’re lucky or talented enough, maybe you have your own cattle stock and did all of the raising and butchering yourself. But what if the person that did it for you was on a production line, handling the meat while they have open wounds, or while they are working with pants that are soiled because they weren’t allowed to use the restroom? Now how appealing does it sound? Starting to feel like becoming a vegetarian yet? No? I bet you’re telling yourself ‘Well I don’t live in a third-world country, so it’s not a problem here’. Guess again… This is happening in the U.S. and Canada, right at Tyson Foods. It has become a serious safety problem for both the public and the workers for Tyson. Before you buy another pound of meat, of any kind, think about visiting the Terrible Tyson website. By helping the workers there you are helping yourself. |
 Someone give Bush a clue, please. Everywhere he goes it seems the word ‘terror’ comes out of his mouth.
I’ve got to say that I have been rather annoyed with the fact that he won’t pronounce ‘terrorism’. And while I realize that terrorism is everywhere, and it’s become a signficant threat at home and to our allies, it does not need to be a part of every topic. Take, for example, the speech he was giving tonight about the aid produced by the government for the devestation produced by hurricane Katrina. What did he start rambling about? “Terror”. How inappropriate. If the lack of immediate response wasn’t bad enough he uses it to further his cruisade. I’m tired of Bush, republicans and democrats. It’s time America start looking at who they are voting for – before they vote. Maybe it’s time to look at the alternatives. I really hate politicians… |
 Any American would have a problem with this:
We spend so much money on getting Iraq together. We coordinated efforts to get troops to Afganistan and Iraq in an incredibly short period of time. So what is going on in the Southern hurricane-stricken areas of our own country? You look at the television and see nothing but chaos and desperation. Where is the National Guard? Where are the airdrops of food and water? Why are our tax-paying citizens, ages of less than a year to the elderly, dying while waiting on help days after being hit by the hurricane? It’s time to get our people out of there and get them someplace safe. It’s also time for the damned government to stop dropping the ball. It’s time to donate to help our fellow americans, for the rest of us. What if it were you? |
