Syrian & American Suffering

“Suffering is a privilege, it moves us toward thinking about essential things and shakes us out of shortsighted complacency.”  But is that any reason to bring it upon yourself?

Evaluate responses to a child gassed to death, born with AIDS, or, as we now see Democrats in Washington proposing,  hit by what they call a “limited strike”.  Which is worthy of US expending A BILLION DOLLARS every two days?

Democrats (and a few Republicans) do not care about the children with AIDS, and certainly have no concern about the thousands they will kill with their “limited strike”.  Why should we believe they have any concern at all for the average American?

Let us reduce the military dedicated to the war the Bush family saw fit to impose upon us – and now engage in a new war … one which will see the whole world choosing up sides and going for the “Final Solution” to the religious wars begun fourteen centuries ago.

“Suffering is a privilege” … Is it a privilege we can allow others to enjoy – without imposing it upon ourselves?

THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE

IS IT REALLY HOW WE WANT TO LIVE OUR LIVES?
