Blind patriotism is as ignorant as blind faith. <br>I posted a flag image (from yet another hippie--in my haiku blog) Monday, for Flag Day. Flag Day was designed to pay homage to the symbol of our country. A day set aside for retoring tattered stars and stripes, by the way. For taking care of the symbol of our country. And that means making it conscionable again.<br>amen.<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-27261176179437800432004-06-16T21:14:00.000-07:002004-06-16T21:14:00.000-07:00If peace and freedom were only that simple....

The only question I might raise and that's because it was my first response when 9/11 occurred: What did we do to cause this? Honestly, I don't think we were without blame. We may not have provoked them but our warped foreign policies were a catalyst for their horrid actions. We were the ones who trained the Taliban in our fight to save the world from Communism. We were involved in Beirut. We are the ones supporting Israel as it encroaches upon the Palestinians and its neighbors. We are a threatening presence in the Middle East. Unfortunately, radical *religious* people took it to the extreme to make their point. Were this several hundred years ago, the British would have considered some of our doings terroristic in order to free ourselves from being ruled without representation. Like you, I too think of this song and wonder why it can't be so. Why is it that people revert to bloodshed in order to force their ideology, politics, philosopy, belief system, what-ever you want to call it, on someone else? So, I'd like to "Imagine" a world without boundaries. And, I'm glad Im not the only one. Imagine that. :-) ---RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-74461875629250942202004-06-16T23:20:00.000-07:002004-06-16T23:20:00.000-07:00Oh I forgot to answer what song best expresses my ...Oh I forgot to answer what song best expresses my personal philosophy...I'd have to say it would be "Bat out of Hell" by Meatloaf. ;-p ---RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-71106481916835037822004-06-17T00:21:00.000-07:002004-06-17T00:21:00.000-07:00Hi Lisa,What a thought provoking entry!!

So many are stuck in a particular mind-set, such as the Christian right you talk about, and they're too proud to consider an alternative way of viewing the world. Or even if they do, too proud to talk about how they used to be different!

All I can say is that this world has been fighting with itself (in every part) since the beginning of time. Unfortunately, we are not going to change that. Not with our religion, not with our military, not with love, not with a flag (from any nation) and certainly not by looking through rose colored glasses as John Lennon did when he wrote that song. Life is what it is, and we aren't going to change the ideas of the men in the Middle East, Africa, Central America, Asia or North America. They seem to be all hell bent on killing one another. I still am on the side of democracy though and the red, white and blue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
