President Bush forgave a four billion-plus dollar debt to Iraq this week. That on top of the $200 Billion for the war and reconstruction so far. And I thought Iraq had the second largest oil deposits in the world? I guess it ain't for the tax payer, but only for the priviledged few like Chevron, Shell, Halliburton and a select few (nameless) politicians. Must be nice to have all that money come and go so easy.
A teacher called into KGO radio today. She has spent $2000 of her own money this year for school supplies for the children in her class. The average teacher, it is said, spends an average of $500 of the their own money each year in this fashion. Chalk that up on the black board as the American way.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
