New thread on sorryeverybody.com and apologiesaccepted.com
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 12:23 PM by Melodybe
My other thread got hijacked with links to that other not so nice thread, which will only make you mad and hate people. My intent was to share the love.

I started this thread because as usual DUers would rather pay attention to pathetic freepers instead of people all around the world expressing their love for American Democrats.

Both of these threads are good examples of how wonderful an invention the internet is.

Go straight to the galleries, you won't be sorry.

The first is to remind you of how many people in this country worked very hard and continue to work to this day:
www.sorryeverybody.com

The second is to show you how loved we are around the world:
www.apologiesaccepted.com

These sites reminded me of Charlie Chaplin's monologue in the Great Dictator...

"The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man-cries for universal brotherhood-for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world-millions of despairing men, women, and little children-victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed-the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never parish."

I firmly believe that websites like this are a great example of the longing mankind has to be at peace with itself. The idea of a better world that can be shared by every person on this earth. For those who like unicorns and rainbows this thread is for you.

2. The longing of humankind for peace.
Thanks for this new thread and for clarifying your intentions. I believe people all over the world want peace. It is the RULLERS of the world WHO BUILD AND OCCUPY STRUCTURES OF POWER who do not want it and who do everything they can to FOCUS COLLECTIVE ATTENTION ON OUR DIFFERENCES. That's how they keep us afraid of one another and separate from one another SO WE DO NOT UNITE AGAINST THEM!

The American Empire Will FALL--not because you and I want it but because it must fall. This is the history of the new world in the making--a long history--a long struggle against tyranny in all its forms. NEVER AGAIN will human beings be so easily seduced by the Dark Side. America, America, GOD shed His Grace on Thee--and your narrow-mindedness, ignorant greed and arogance wasted it all.

3. Thank you Melody. I agree about the longing for peace...
In fact I posted earlier asking if there was a peace group here.
