His eyes devour! He is an island of Selfdom. -- description from "A Manual of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan -Dune, by Frank Herbert- Rolling rain drips from a dreary, squalid, countryside awaiting a fate brought on by religious self-righteousness. An economic credit society soon to be unable to feed it's growing populations brought on by desperate acts of war, corruption, and endless poverty. When will we grow and dedicate our imagination and technology towards prosperity again rather than invasion and destruction? How many adolescent boys and men will die before the self-destructive aspects are forsaken for the nurturing survival inventiveness of a feminine aspect of our culture? When will public welfare become a word not used in scorn? What makes our leaders better than us? Are they more human, more intelligent, more deserving? I say no. Think for yourself. http://icasualties.org/oif/ http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties
