gas prices, schiavo, creation . . . . . coming home
gas prices. . . just a big topic of conversation.
whose fault is it? the saudi's? china's - because they are so big? russia? seriously, we cannot blame everything on them. wait. i forgot . . somehow its the left's fault. yeah. how could i have missed it. its their fault that our economy has sunk. its their fault that we can't drill in alaska. its their fault for being so . . . .so. . . . .left.
whatever. i'm just glad i have a motorcycle. i also bought that 2001 jetta, and have to put premium gas in it. "OH MY GOSH!! seriously, marc. thats a lot of money you're throwing away." nope. i paid $2.35 per gallon today. in 1980, gas was $2.59 (adjusted for inflation - courtesy of msn.com). so maybe this good for us. it'll cause us to be more conscious of how we spend our money. and i so wanted those Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes for 100 bucks. . . . . .dagumit!
schiavo. its sad. what an ass of a ex-husband. if she can breathe on her own, they should have kept the feeding tube it. i don't know his motives, financial or whatever. . . its just sad. whats worse is how the GOP made such a spectacle of it. there are so many reasons to go into it. exploiting death for political gain. . . . just doesn't seem right.
Bush says that he's trying to cultivate a culture of life. ( JP II said it first) then whats the deal with death row? all the people he put to death in texas? we are assuming that they will never turn to God, so we play God. pro-life shouldn't just be abortion, but anti-death, anti-capital punishment, anti-feeding tube removal. (thanks nathan, for leading us to that discussion)
creation. i don't even know how to get into this. i should try not to be so negative. but its hard sometimes. especially with this. we suck at protecting, preserving, caring for God's creation. for the sake of the industrial revolution, we are pushing the earth to its limits. it is kinda like "the puppy who lost his way." ( if you don't get it, go watch an adam sandler movie)
we have used so many of the natural resources. as we cut down so many trees for wood, we take away the very plants that give us life, that create our oxygen. the conservative agenda actually doesn't conserve anything to well. all it does is spend well.
"if I would be silent I'd be living a lie.
it says the rocks will cry out.
for my God is alive."
sorry. i had to pull that out. i mean, we're talking about inanimate objects here. and they praise God, just by being. that line is that song, "ALL creation worships YOU." not just humans, but everything. yet we just let it be destroyed. littering is a spiritual issue. i ask for forgiveness for all of the times i've littered. not recycle when we can is a spiritual issue. i'm sorry if it doesn't save you money. i'm just as guilty.
this doesn't mean that we have to do huge ecological festivals or whatever. just pick up your trash. don't let some plastic or styrofoam blow away after a pic-a-nic.
thanks to all of you have already contributed to this post. its much appreciated.
"da mind dat stretch big can't shrink back."
coming home.i have been down in Gulf Shores, Balabama for a week or so. and in Chicago. if you're ever in that area, go see Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind. its 30 plays in 60 minutes. it plays at the neo-futurists theatre at Foster & Ashland. www.neofuturists.org
seriously. go see it. its hilarious, charming, and thought provoking. i even got to be part of the production . . . . . you know how tough that is for me. being in front of people and all.
but i'm home now. work always sucks after a vacation. but its good. its nice coming home to my bed, my friends, my family.
be kind to each other. . . look at Christ. . . . peace.
