Sixty years ago was one of the darkest days in the history of the human race. It was then that America exploded an atomic weapon over Hiroshima and a few days later Nagasaki killing 300,000 civilians. At the time some scientists worried that exploding an atomic weapon might ignite the atmosphere turning this planet into a sun and destroying all life on Earth. Fortunately they were wrong, but taking that risk was humanities most chilling experiment.
In 1945 then President Truman could have demonstrated the power of the bomb by targeting an uninhabited area, something that he considered and rejected. He decided instead to target highly populated cities to demonstrate the full killing power of this weapon against men, women, and children.
We now have weapons that are hundreds of times as powerful as those two bombs and over 20 nations now have the bomb. To posses such a weapon is a curse because we now have the ultimate responsibility to never never never use these weapons under any conditions whatsoever. I want to say to the world that as an American I am deeply ashamed of what this country did and the terrible legacy we left behind. The sins of our past shall live on as long as anyone possesses nuclear weapons. To have an atomic weapon is a sin against the human race.
Open Letter to the Muslim Community,
We, the People of the United States ask that you not vent your anger on us citizens for the acts George Bush. Our ballots are rigged and our elections are fixed. We no longer have a free press. We used to be a democracy but like you, we are occupied by a power that is hostile to freedom and liberty. When you attack the American people you only strengthen the hand of our common oppressor. I live in the San Francisco area where Muslims, Palestinians, and Jews march hand in hand for peace and social justice.
We too are angry about the state of the world, but we need to ask ourselves what we want for the future. Do we want live in violence or peace? What do we have to do to make sure that the future that we leave to the next generation is better that what we inherited?

Rafael Palmeiro is now suspended from Baseball because he tested positive for steroids use after swearing that he never, never. never takes steroids. Even after steroids were found in his body he still denies taking steroids. President Bush says Palmeiro is "a friend" and said, "He's testified in public, and I believe him." What a surprise. No wonder we're stuck in Iraq!

Of course Bush doesn't believe drug tests - that's science and science is against faith.

Bush said that schools should teach the so called Intelligent Design theory in schools. Intelligent Design merely states that life is complex and had to be designed by "someone", and stops there. But when you ask who the designer is, they don't want to talk about that, because all of a sudden ID becomes a thinly veiled front for Creationism. If life requires a designer, then who is the designer and who made the designer? If you think through what ID is saying, you could conclude that God doesn't exist because something as complex as God couldn't "just happen".
The difference between science and fictional beliefs is that science isn't afraid of scrutiny. Those who promote ID run when you ask the question, "Who is the designer?" Science isn't afraid to think things through and ask the tough questions. Trying to rename Creationism as Intelligent Design is dishonest, and Christians aren't going to win over any souls by being caught taking liberties with the truth. They should think about their own commandments about bearing false witness.
