2. Oops! DVD's of that show, to enlighten
my brothers on how the media have twisted them around, and all of us perhaps. Pretty scathing documentary on the media, but to me, as importantly, a scathing indictment on the Bush admin. We've long suspected it, but this program proved the whole war effort had/has been choreographed, soup to all those nuts.

4. Nah, I want them to see the light, dammit!
I can't give up on my brothers, as wayward as they are.
One brother has spent about 10 days in Biloxi/Long Beach (he's a cop from SC), and might still be there. I wonder about his epiphany, if he had one.

5. Usually one has to hit one's bottom, physically, spiritually, mentally
...and emotionally to have these light generating epiphanies....so I just offer that alternative Xmas present to kinda speed up the process.....:sarcasm: (Not really, just dark humor as a way of coping)

define: epiphany -- A sudden revelation of truth inspired by a seemingly trivial incident. The term was widely used by James Joyce in his critical writings, and the stories in Joyce's Dub-liners are commonly called "epiphanies."

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&oi=defmore&q=define:Epiphany

The concept has been watered down. Imagine Mose's vision of God on Mount Sinai 3,000 years ago and 67 year old lobbyist Fred Webber's self-defined epiphany today which allowed him quite openly and unashamedly write a check to help Katrina victims while tossing out a dozen requests from Washington politicians for contributions for their re-elections last week. Come Monday morning, Mr Webber's instinct for survival as a lobbyist will swing back into action as he makes his clients cough up event more bribe moneys to keep those politicians in their back-pockets.

6. My bro isn't a bushbot per se; he is a
'believer' that the prez can do no wrong, and I think very strongly that his church (sadly, I don't even know denomination) is feeding his ill-will. I have questioned him, and commented on helping your/his fellow man in the Katrina aftermath, and surprisingly he addressed politics and not his own actions to provide aid, nor what the church has been doing. Makes me think his 'leaders' are doing nothing other than spewing hate.

7. Your brother eh, that makes him close dynamic outer environment
...you just have to learn mentally healthy will training techniques or the power of prayer, if you love him, which it seems you do. If all that fails....try the anthrax!
