I try not to, just to pray for those I care about and hope that I'm one day able to show and not tell. Interesting how a feature of a good story (more showing, less telling what's going on) is also really how you should live your life as a Christian! But as Lady L said---I've got friends (and family) from all sides (and was once completely uninterested in calling myself Christian, but that's all for another day). I love them all the same. <BR/><BR/>Politics, religion, sexual everything---they are all touchy subjects. Too many are too closeminded to be able to approach them in such a delicate yet totally unoffending manner. <BR/><BR/>You're special.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349540757656553214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-89720068821594013122008-05-14T17:47:00.000-05:002008-05-14T17:47:00.000-05:00I haven't read his book, but I've been a fan (simi...I haven't read his book, but I've been a fan (similar to your version of fan) of his for many years. Despite being a young whippersnapper, I've always watched PBS. Moyers is also a native of East Texas, where my father's family lives. His interviews and opinions strike deep in this ol' gal.imaginary binkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201098158165803056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-42290514195243035872008-05-13T10:17:00.000-05:002008-05-13T10:17:00.000-05:00Not only is your post thought provoking but so are...Not only is your post thought provoking but so are the comments.....except for myself and Kelley because I was just getting ready to recommend you not go see my latest post as it is filled with foul language.

My friends are Southern Baptist, Christian, Lutheran, Hindu, and Atheist and I listen to and love them the same. They do not burden me, only open me to other possibilities. I believe that only the weak cannot embrace or understand others beliefs.Crimzen Creativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666225868450577918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-30143039398430515262008-05-12T20:54:00.000-05:002008-05-12T20:54:00.000-05:00Politics often make me want to swear. :-)Politics often make me want to swear. :-)Andreamusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247621443036562317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-31329132616919250672008-05-12T16:51:00.000-05:002008-05-12T16:51:00.000-05:00I'm going to look at that book.

I hate politics and politicians, mostly for the reasons you state and I'm smart enough to know our government isn't of, by or for the people any longer. It's of, by and for the money. But I have hopes that our government and our country can again be the great place my grandfather fought for in WWII and my friends and family are currently fighting for in Iraq.Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-10559765932162197022008-05-12T13:54:00.000-05:002008-05-12T13:54:00.000-05:00I don't mind the politics as much as the pacifism,...I don't mind the politics as much as the pacifism, they are both two faced but the politics are not on such a moral high ground. I'd kill anyone who hurt or where going to hurt my family, I'd defend strangers from assault in the street and I think pedos and rapists should be tortured to death.<BR/><BR/>I can't understand why a pacifist would support the rights of such evil people but that's me, I suppose they haven't been in harms way much. If you want to share the common wealth from the Common Wealth I could really do with 5 grand no questions asked.<BR/><BR/>I also believe you can be spiritual and kill (not religious, spiritual) religious people deny their dark side and get out of balance but its totally natural to have one.Old Knudsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880108077729502539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-11984604565595150862008-05-12T12:07:00.000-05:002008-05-12T12:07:00.000-05:00Yesterday I wrote to Peter L.

Today I am mentioned in the same sentence with Bill Moyers. I will try to get his book at the library and read it too. Moyers is a good head, and his heart is in the right place too.<BR/><BR/>Money and influence play big parts in our political process. TV costs money and candidates need to put their message on TV (or a negative message about their opponent). Why do some owners spend millions of dollars to win a World Series or a Super Bowl? They could buy a ring with big diamonds for a lot less. Ego makes people spend over the top if they have it, not wanting to serve their country. If the people wanted Clinton they would have donated the money to her campaign. Power and ego are strong motivational factors, and something most of us don't understand or care to.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-90202525004492845472008-05-12T10:53:00.000-05:002008-05-12T10:53:00.000-05:00I'll put the book on my (very long) list of books ...I'll put the book on my (very long) list of books to read. Thanks for the suggestion.<BR/><BR/>We do spend a ridiculous amount of money on political campaigns, as you just said.<BR/><BR/>I about had a stroke when I read last week that Hillary Clinton loaned her campaign over $4 million of her money. I had the stroke for a number of reasons, but when you're loaning yourself MILLIONS of dollars to be president -- a job that pays less than $300,000 a year (the last time I checked) -- this is a problem.<BR/><BR/>And I'd feel similarly if John McCain had made the same announcement. (This comment doesn't know Democrat, Republican or Independent, just names and dollar figures. If that makes sense.)Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17104664228769032430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-17244793806452849662008-05-12T10:44:00.000-05:002008-05-12T10:44:00.000-05:00I think I'll check that book out... both literally...I think I'll check that book out... both literally and figuratively.
