ANGER, HATRED, HERE, NOW , WHY?????????
Why?

I know it has been discussed before. But I would like to take a turn too.

..When you raise your children, You tell them to tell the truth. I don't have any children, but that is what I would do if I had. Your 3 year old must know when she is telling you the truth, and when she isn't. You need to teach her. It isn't rocket science.
As she/grows older, we know there are times when we must lie, and times when it is wrong. We teach that too. Most of us here, know the difference. It is inside of us. It is always with us, even when we do wrong, we know.

Yesterday, I read the U.S. has a secret prison within a secret prison. Only a few knew. What is to hide? Also, I read that the U.S. did waterboarding, torture if you will. We were told, we do not torture. We also assumed we do not torture, and we do not lie about these things. Yet, our leader does/has/ will lie. He lies. He lied about WMD that brought us into a war that kills. Yet, we are not supposed to lie about such things, especially killing, yet he did and will.
You can say he is not our leader, yet lawfully he is. It is factual. It is what it is.

I believe that these constant lies, make us angry, feel hate. Yes, right here and right now. I always thought and believed we were not all about lies. Yet in my name, he lies.
We bully others. Threaten others. Lie to others about whether or not they are building terrible weapons. And they are not. Everything I have ever stood for is against this kind of bullying. As long as I can remember, for I was taught otherwise.
.. Yet he has bullied in my name, and lied in my name. In the name of the country that I love. The U.S.A. --a country that has often taken the high ground. Yet that is not true now. Torture is not the high ground.

As we try to teach our children, and our children's children about truth, we feel betrayed, and sometimes.. helpless. For it continues...even now...Right now... I have read that our leader says there is not enough money to help those who have been unemployed for a long time. I know this is a lie. If there is money to kill, there is money to help. That is said.. today. Right now.

..So, how do we feel about all these lies?.. Even the lie about the unemployed? Yesterday, the legislature failed to correct this lie. They tried but they ultimately failed.....
So, how do we feel? We are angry. We feel hatred.,, When, Now!

..So, we take it out on ourselves . We are mad that others do not listen or agree about our ideas, cause they are right. Others are wrong. There is anger because the leadership of the U.S.A, does not listen, so some in here too, are not going to listen. We turn our hatred inward. We are so mad at him, for what he is. For he lies. And his people never say so. They support his lies. For they say he is never wrong...... And we are angry.
We are very angry, for these lies are fundamentally .. wrong.

..When some of our leaders have lied , they said they were wrong. Some even say they are sorry..

...... These people never say they are wrong. They never say they are sorry
............And they never will..........

................So we are angry, every day, right here, right now.........and we take it out on ourselves.

Thank you for reading this.
Stuart G.

1. Almost six years ago, I learned the US had secret prisons and
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 12:22 PM by Fredda Weinberg
were using torture near the Afghan airport. I'm sorry, but no one was listening.

I'm glad you now know, but maybe ... like the rest of America, you weren't ready to hear it then.

2. Yes, I am willing to admit...
that I did not know everything. But I learned. And I knew quicker than many.. not as fast as many... I was very skeptical from the beginning.
But I did not want to believe that our leadership would now lie so much. Even that leadership. And I was wrong.
... With the torture in the prison, I then knew for sure...as did many others.

3. Each individual will process this in their own way. Strong feelings
are appropriate ... they show you have a soul. Peace.

I am very very angry about these lies.
