Not Yet! But, soon, if we refuse to wake up!

We were talking "Politics" around the brunch table last Saturday morning. I was struck at first by the diverse opinions in the room and also aware of those who would rather not engage in the conversation at all. At one point religion popped up as a subject in response to the suggestion that President Bush runs this fine Country based on his "Religious" beliefs alone. Followed closely only by the other thing many people believe drives President Bush, OIL.

A few of us felt compelled to share our "religious" beliefs or lack thereof, as the case was. We had one Atheist, one Agnostic, one Spiritualist, one Christian and one who is in "Relationship" with Jesus Christ. I observed that for those who do not believe in what I believe in, it makes them very afraid and upset to know that our President is a Christian.

So, it's only my opinion that to do nothing in the face of 911 would have been an outrage. But, the debate never ends there, does it? Why? Because the Government lied and bent the truth to justify a war that has pressed our Military too thin and is costing more then my great grand-children's generation will be able to recover from. That is of course, if the face of America as we know it lasts that long.

The American people would support a US Government that was truly built on the principle "of the people, for
