just like spring rain

i know we cant hold more than one crisis in our heads at the same time, so while we all stare at the bombs raining down on Lebanon, Israel continues to rain bombs down on Gaza.

"Operation Summer Rain" has left at least 87 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier dead since July 5."

We should perhaps remember that for the previous year of "relative" peace, Israel has lobbed on average 300 high explosive shells per week into Gaza, with some weeks hitting a high of over 800 artillery shells exploding in the area that they claim was handed soveriengty. If you pull out of an area and claim to have handed it back to its rightful owner, isnt it a little disingenuous to then blockade their borders and constantly use it for target practice.

capitalism, personally I am fond of it, but it does have its more than a little amoral side, one could almost say that it preys upon tragedy in the way a funeral director passing out business cards to troops leaving for Iraq would.

I will defend my right to take the KKK public this year, a float is just what that organisation needs to make it big on the worlds markets.

Just like Hillsong Ministries, god and mammon are equal partners:

It is evident that when Jesus told of the suffering of the poor some 147 times in the new testament, Hillsong took this into thier hearts to mean that they (the poor) should become that little poorer so that next time they get a few more mentions in an updated newer new testament. Perhaps Jesus could be a little clearer next time he comes to visit, pointing out that his reference to the poor was not as marks for crooked evangalicals to steal from, but as the folks christians should be helping or are christians just jealous that he bequeathed the meek & poor the earth and christians feel that they are just spending what they are owed. He might also want to make mention that he didnt have a word to say on abortion or gay marriage or flag burning or setting up a theorcracy (other than to oppose it) or the war on drugs or.....please place right wing mass distraction agenda here...then give all yor money to Hillsong
