Joe The Plumber East Of Eden

Joe The Plumber is in Israel.

Israel has bombed a clinic for mothers and children after having sent a 15 minute warning to the clinic owners. The clinic was closed. I do not mean to imply that it was targeted during working hours.

Joe The Plumber is a Christian who supports bloodshed and war, apparently. I have mentioned that this is an abomination, and a direct insult in the face of Jesus.

The Palestinian Fish-in-a-Barrel situation, where Palestinians are enslaved in what used to be their own land, and are bombed, shot, and used for target practice by the Israeli Defense Forces is the Original Sin of our age. How long can people look the other way? We have been for 60 years and counting. The present situation we face is a direct result of our lack of morality and ethics. The Economic morass is a direct result of Greed, Immoderation, Lies, and the idea of using War to solve all problems.

The Terrorist situation is a direct result of War, in particular the Gulf War, and is fed by continuing barbarism and warfare.

The War in Iraq is a direct result of Lies, Emnity, and our gross cynicism of morality, which is not moral relativism, but rather which is Moral Irrelevance ! There will be no surcease of pain until the Palestine situation is resolved and Palestine is free.

There will be no balm for us until that time that we take a stand and throw off the propaganda of 60 years and demand that this war be ended!

Cease being slaves to outworn symbols. The emotions born from these symbols seek a legitimate focus, but the real focus existed in the past, and died in the past. Try as you might, you cannot make the Holocaust exist in the present! Try as you will, you cannot make the Christian-Israel nonsense of the religious right become the will of God! He resists our insanity.

Unless we can engender peace and amity, we shall die in war and hatred.
