"We send our thoughts to the Elders & Children for they give us guidance & purpose to live in a good

way." From a Thanksgiving Prayer from the Iroquois Nation. The next line in the prayer is,
"We are Thankful to the Enlightened Teachers who have come to help us throughout the ages."

The entire prayer is found in this page ... at this link: http://carolynbaker.net/site/content/view/225/


But it strikes me that the OCCUPIER of the White House cares naught about Elders ... those whom his occupation kills in Iraq, or his health care vetoes kills because lack of worthwhile health care; and it also strikes me that the current OCCUPIER of the White House cares naught for children, those whom his bombs have killed in Iraq, and those whom his vetoed health care, job training and education funds kills...either through lack of preventive or good quality health care, or lack of a job training that would give purpose and meaning to a young one's life, or affordable education which would allow young ones to have and to hold some sort of good financial resolve.

And as far as Enlightenment goes ...
Bush is the oil slick the nation does not want. He is the oil slick the world does not need.

He and all of his family are a damper on anything that is good, enlightened, or praiseworthy.

[H2O Man]
