ON BEING A BRAINY BLONDE BUT KNOWING WHEN TO DUCK:

I have been fortunate enough to have grown up with a broad spectrum of cultures and theologies-(my birth father a Cathlolic, my first step-father an Israeli Jew and my second step-father an Egyptian Muslim), which I believe gave me the opportunity at a very young age to have a deep understanding of what fuels the deep rooted passions of conflicting ideologies, and at once,realizing that ALL religions and theologies are based on one central theme in variation. Blood IS one color---no matter the color of the skin, the religious belief, nor the country of origin. We ALL bleed. But people are more concerned with the color of money, who has the better car, clothes, jewelry, home and hold no value on what is TRULY valuable. PEACE, LOVE and the FREEDOMS that many of us take for granted. On 9/11, all of the victims, no matter what their religion, financial status or culture--ALL died in a horrific manner. From the busboys at Windows on the World, to the millionaire Kantor Fitzgerald brokers, to the poor delivery guy from the deli delivering breakfast, the Bravest, the Finest, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Agnostic, Atheist, Black, White, Yellow, mixed----ALL perished. Does anyone think it mattered about their status in any manner? Have people become soooo afraid and are they in sooo much denial about the effect that 9/11 truly had on their psyches that they forget that we were ALL attacked on that day and that ALL of our lives and way of life would forever be changed. Those who choose to use their democratic right to protest against our involvement in Iraq and who are making a mockery of our Military and their daily sacrifice for ALL of us---so that we may go to Starbucks, to the Mall, to a baseball game, to a movie, to be with your lover, your wife, your husband, your children, your family, to sleep a little more soundly at night-are an insult to their sacrifice---ALL because THEY can not do all of those things that we take for granted every day because they are sacrificing their lives for us and those daily pleasures to contain the cancer of terror that threatens to take those pleasures and freedoms from us. I pray that it will not be too late before all of us wake up and realize that this is NOT the sixties and that we are NOT dealing with the Vietnamese who designs on the world at large were less grandiose than those of the Fundamentalist Terrorists--who-unlike Hilter, who wanted to irradicate just the Jewish people--want to see the end of Western Civilization as we know it. The war in Iraq is about OIL some say? Well I would like to hear this ignorance being spewed when Fundamentalist Terrorists take control of these OIL reserves and these FEAR FACTOR cowards won't be able to function because of it. When you now look up LIBERAL in the dictionary it should say "see; TRAITOR
