Into the West...

I watch the constant buzz around silly things like the DNC and the election. Foolishness mostly. If John Kerry really had as much support as idiots like Moore claim he does, then this would not be the close battle that it is. But as always, they are very good at double talk--avoiding logic because most people don't think hard when they hear things. They will kill my country some day.

My age is dying. Its happened before--and surely it will happen again. Will we turn back the tide, like Hobbits in Mordor, or will we cling to the shore knowing that our enemy has utterly laid us low and the only hope we have can only come from beyond the shores of this world?

Do you stand and fight or do you retreat? Better yet...what about neither--do you simply live because day will come again and whether you live or not is not a matter to concern ourselves with--truly the only matter of weight is whether or not the light dies? Thankfully...the light is not my burden alone. Goodness, truth and beauty belong to that same realm from whence comes our only true hope.

But watching men like Ted Kennedy make a mockery of such things...makes my blood boil.
