To Whom, March 18-2002
It seemed for but a second back in September, that
if nothing else, we were all forced to re-evaluate
what was important to us as a people, as a nation and
as a member of the human race.
It was a very brief second...
America seems to back to its old self. While I should
not be surprised, I do feel a profound sense of loss
in that it appears we have not learned much or
anything from such a horrific event. We are all in
this together regardless of our views and yet there
are those persistant individuals and groups with fear
and loathing in their hearts that will go to the ends
of the earth to deny the most basic of liberties,
rights and dignity to even those American's directly
involed in the tragety. Gay and lesbian American's are
being denied the same benefits of their heterosexual
counterparts; how can we begin to justify such blatant
discriminitory practices in 2002 and in America of all
places.
The Land of the Free...for who?
With Liberty and Justice for ALL.....with exceptions!
Seems that theses basic American values that we are
all raised to cherish have never been and continue to
be denied to the population as a whole for various
misguided reasons, usually masked under the name GOD
or RELIGION.
Some went as far as to say that the events of 9-11
were caused by gays and lesbians.
Our government officially sanctions such hatred and it
is thus taught to our kids and others.
Hatred is dangerous and if left unchecked, can bring
down the mightiest of nation's.
A Few Thoughts.
Sincerely,
