Was it bought, for a mess of pottage, on a need artificially created and supported by that most ridiculous of fears ... the Grand Daddy of fears ! ...the fear of death? Dear hearts, we have been made less of, by those who for so long have promised to give us more ... we have been sold the ultimate evil, in the the name of commerce, and security. And we have been made small, in our souls, by being told that we must believe that what is happening is in and for our "best interests". Bullshit! And bullshit mounted on Bullshit, and supported by those whose only interest is in getting your strength for themselves - for they equate money and possessions with strength, and they are made inhuman and immoral by that fear-created belief... and in fact, they - and you know who they are - would have your last dollar, and food, and shelter, and clothing ... and would rejoice in the symbolic success manifested by your failure to survive. They - are you listening? - are the true face of evil incarnate ... and - sadly - they are you and i and everyone ... that fails to listen to that still small voice ... the heart that is the seat of love, and life, and all hope. Stop listening to them with your head, i say ... start running what they offer you past your heart: only then will you know what is right and just and fair and sweet and correct for every one of us. And - newly hopeful - will you start to do what is right for us all, and for all time. With love, i - who know nothing , but have a whole lot of delicious suspicions! - salute you. And wish you well in all that you attempt. Gonna start listening to your heart? Attagirl...attaboy! jeremy What ever happened to our nation’s conscience? Was it bought, for

Dear hearts, we have been made less of, by those who for so long have promised to give us more … we have been sold the ultimate evil, in the
the name of commerce, and security. And we have been made small, in
our souls, by being told that we must believe that what is happening is
in and for our “best interests”.

Bullshit! And bullshit mounted on Bullshit, and supported by those
whose only interest is in getting your strength for themselves – for
they equate money and possessions with strength, and they are made
inhuman and immoral by that fear-created belief… and in fact, they -
and you know who they are – would have your last dollar, and food,
and shelter, and clothing … and would rejoice in the symbolic success
manifested by your failure to survive.
They – are you listening? – are the true face of evil incarnate … and -
sadly – they are you and i and everyone … that fails to listen to that
still small voice … the heart that is the seat of love, and life, and all
hope.
Stop listening to them with your head, i say … start running what they
offer you past your heart: only then will you know what is right and just and fair and sweet and correct for every one of us. And – newly hopeful -
will you start to do what is right for us all, and for all time.

With love, i – who know nothing , but have a whole lot of delicious
suspicions! – salute you. And wish you well in all that you attempt.

Gonna start listening to your heart? Attagirl…attaboy!

When Iraq was invaded, their dinar was destroyed. One Iraqi billionaire burned his worthless banknotes to keep warm in the winter.
