Fifteen things I believe to be true...

1. Religion hasn't been the #1 cause of brutality throughout the ages. The bastardization of religion has.

2. Southerners used to vote democratic because the were racist. Today, they vote Republican because they aren't.

3. Freedom of speech does not shelter you from freedom from reprecussion.

4. Memories are simply former realities that have been "Hollywood-ized."

5. The Democratic Party (since 1992) is following the old axiom, "It's easier to seek forgiveness than to ask for permission."

6. History will continue to repeat itself until the Human Race ceases to exist.

7. There are evil people in the world.

8. Peace will come to the Middle East only when every Arab nation wants it.

9. The life a human is infinitely more valuable than that of any other living creature.

10. There is a reason that hearses do not have luggage racks.

11. Not every Arab is a terrorist and not every terrorist is an Arab. But they do appear to make up a majority.

12. Ted Kennedy has become a caricuture of himself. His usefulness in the Senate has long since expired.

13. Many people love baseball for it's poetry. Many people love football for it's brutality. You don't often hear a fight song before a baseball game and you don't often hear fans singing "Take me out to the ball game" at a football game.

14. They say that the only constants in the world are death and taxes. The failed to mention hope, fear and sadness.

15. A great quote I heard... The word politics came from two other words: Poly - meaning many, and tics - meaning small biting insects.
