Torn
I'm torn. AN Evil tyrant is dead.
So now, we have somewhat of a media feeding
frenzy on the Saddam execution.
It's really quite sick, and reminds me
somewhat of the Don Henley song
"Dirty Laundry" - With the Line: "We've
got the bubble headed bleach blond who
comes on at five, she can tell you 'bout
the plane crash with a gleam in her eye."
The media are repulsive.
Let's make no mistake about it, Saddam
was a brutal, arrogant, evil little
git, and that's being generous.
But was it our place to execute him?
I cannot answer that one, but I am
sure there are plenty who will try either
way. Ask yourself this question:
"Could I have pulled the lever that opened
the trap door under his feet?"
My answer is simple - I couldn't have -
I would see his sick face in my dreams
for the rest of my life. No Thanks.
I still cannot say whether-or-not his execution
was wrong or right, but it would be my opinion
and I will keep it to myself. I just know
I couldn't have done it.
A human is a human evil or not.

Learning To Say NO
It's a tough lesson to learn, both for the
asker and the askee - (are those words? :-))
I am of course referring to the ability to
say "NO" when someone asks you to do something,
especially when you are already overloaded.
It has taken me a loooooonnnnggggg time, and
I am still learning it, but I just reached
another step on the road to Nirvana. ;-)
People who ask for computer repairs are starting
to get a shock.... Yes I have turned off the
spigot of computer repairs to pretty much
everyone except work, but then, they pay
me to repair computers for them.
I have a couple of exceptions, (three to be
exact), but other than that.
.............Game Over................
;-)

Gone To Meet His Maker
Well, Saddam has been dispatched to meet his maker.
I don't believe there will be any virgins waiting
for him. I think genuine judgment will await.
Eternity in a very hot fiery place is a distinct
possibility. We wont know until it is our own turn
to meet that same maker.
However, he certainly did enough vile things to
warrant a hot sulfur bath for all eternity.
But, as I said before, only God knows the outcome
of this, we are mortals, and fully incapable of
truly unbiased, truly even, truly fair judgment.
Now what about those who put him there?
Food for thought. Are they equally responsible?

Merry Christmas One And All!
It's about one hour to December 25th here
on the west coast... But it is Christmas Day
in other parts of the world.
With the strife and problems, combined with
a few detestable forces at work in this
world, I think it's time we paused to remember
what this is day is SUPPOSED to be all about,
but first - what is it NOT about?
- Silver and gold wrapping paper
- Ribbons
- boxes
- bags
- tags
- lights
- trees with tinsel
- glittery shiny geek stuff
- gorging oneself till you puke
- getting THINGS lots of THINGS
- Sharing with those in need
- going with a little less ourselves
- (Would it hurt? some of us aren't exactly
- starving - me included)
- Dealing a little more quickly with monsters like
- Saddam Hussein
- Pol Pot
- Kim Jong-il
- Numerous others
- Dealing with the monsters who have taken over at the U.N.
More Gooey Goodness
I neglected to mention.....
Homemade Peanut Brittle......
mmmmm
美味しいですよ。

Can't Ya just feel your Teeth rot? - Can't you feel your stomach bloat? - Lying on the couch like a beached wale?? Considering I can no longer eat at least half of the goodies my family makes, I should do fairly well, however, ever fretting about me getting (or not getting) goodies.... My mother has decided to make some goodies I can eat this year without fear of making my innards implode. One of these is divinity fudge..... I tried some for the first time a couple of days ago.... It didn't even get chewed ONCE and I had an instantaneous sugar high! This does not bode well... Must... Force.... Will.... Power...... ;-D じゃまた。 健

Whither Thou, Dr. McCoy?
I just had a medical test done today (I won't say the type, I am sure you don't want to spew or hurl all over you monitors ;-)) Man wouldn't it be nice to lie on a Star Trek style medical exam table and not have to have tubes stuck in rude parts of your body, followed by noxious liquids in order to diagnose a problem?? Whither thou, Dr. Leonard McCoy??
また ね。
