Super "Duper" Tuesday

If you live in one of the States that is voting today, I am encouraging you to participate and vote. This is an element of social responsibility that it critical to expressing our thoughts and feelings about who should lead this country.

While I won't tell you who to vote for, I will encourage you to vote your hopes and dreams rather that your fears. If we cast our votes based on our fear, we strengthen and empower the increasing negative aspects of our society. Ghandi himself said, "Fear kills the soul."

Think about it. Yesterday McCain was saying, "I will chase Osama Bin Laden" to the gates of hell." It was more war mongering, preying upon fear and something that was placed in our consciousness on 9/11. On top of this we are also supposed to fear, potential female presidents, Black people, Hispanics, Gay people, Universal health care, Public school teachers, going Green, Tax increases, non christians, muslims living in America, people with so-called strange names, China the rising red empire, the EU and anyone not like us. This is the fear factor. And by living and voting based on these types of fear, we become mindless sheep, losing even more control of our Government that we already have.

In closing, i ask that you think about what Martin Luther King Jr once said. "Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured."

I believe in not only what Martin Luther King Jr. is saying, I believe in you.

Namaste'
