Isn't it about time we got some respect?

Mystery - Murder by Media

The fact of the matter is that Princess Diana is dead because of the media. She is not the only one whose life has been taken or destroyed in other ways by the media. Of course, the media didn't want the Princess to be dead. But they were hungry for what she had-her personal life-and they paid big money to the paparazzi for photos of Diane, especially if she was making love on the beach. Right now we are watching the destruction of Paris Hilton, a 26-year-old raised in a luxury hotel with her sister in New York City. Paris is immature, perhaps a spoiled brat, and she is being destroyed by the media.

Thank you Cindy Sheehan for a Courageous Battle Fought

It's a pity that Cindy Sheehan has given up her fight against the war in Iraq. She announced this at the end of May, 2007.

A Religion In Need Of Redemption

Generally, religion figures human beings need redemption. Now, we note, at least one religion is in dire need of redemption - Islam. The explosive evidence speaks for itself - unfortunately, louder than any other voice in Islam. But can enough Muslims be convinced that their religion needs salvation? If a humor magazine can't do it, who can? Here's a short course, called Good Religion 101. Is a religion supposed to be an enhancement of life or a liability against it? What is its merit to the living when it becomes a liability against life? For that matter, what is its merit to the ultimate source of life - in this context, taken to be Allah, the one true pal of us all? To be meritorious, a religion must be primarily about the sanctity of life, not the sanctity of death. The more it subordinates life, which is what we have in our care, the more it has gone wrong.
