Thanks for sending, good points in there.
Saw the author of that book on Jon Stewart the other night and all I can say is I am sure his writing is better than his stage presence. Jeez! What a sleeper and he really must have been nervous cause he was talking a mile a minute.
Anyway, to the point of your email. I totally agree with you and think it was great of you to send this out. Of course, between us, I must take a harder line and say that the religious right really is not the problem in this country and that they have indeed been hijacked as well. I am not telling you anything you don’t know. Bush is no more spiritual than you and me and probably much much less spiritual than you and me except in the pursuit of cold hard cash. He and those that fill his empty suit use this religious right to gain more money and more power. They needed to find somebody- there weren’t enough millionaires being created to keep the party going for much longer so they had to strap their wagon to Jerry Fallwell and his ilk. It is sad.
The true struggle our country and our world is going through is the poor vs. the rich. This is the war. They have used a false morality and a sometimes confused bunch of individuals who find solace in togetherness in ideas and thought to obscure what the truth is and the struggle that is presenting itself.
It is a struggle that will define you and me and our generation. It is not just about our poor world citizens, but the poor species trying to survive these days right next to us and who are going extinct. Never perhaps to be seen or heard again.
It is about greed versus a true morality. It is about respect for our world and its peoples and its species. This is why I felt no real passion towards Mr. Kerry, for not much was going to change even under him, not enough anyway at this late date. There is going to have to be a wholesale change from the bottom up at this point. I hope it doesn’t come too late for us.
