Change!

I am here to offer you an apology. I was wrong....so wrong.

The housing slump is turning into a housing sink hole and the people who need help after being swindled and tricked by fat cat bankers and real estate brokers need, no.... deserve our help. The recession is quickly turning to a depression perhaps one like America has never experienced. So I believe I was wrong about tax cuts. Perhaps now is the time for rich people to understand that nothing in life is free and it is their moral duty to reach out to those less fortunate. So I say with no equivocation it is time to raise taxes. Not necessarily across the board but perhaps for those rich enough to afford it. I believe the stated economic line at which you can be considered rich ($50,000 annually) is a good starting point. We must do something or we will all fall victim to the greed of the filthy rich. The government needs desperately to support legislation that will penalise these greedy individuals among us who feed on the poor. It is true when they say the rich get richer and poor get poorer! Let's put a stop to this and level the playing field for all Americans. More tax revenue is needed to support these worthy welfare programs so we MUST raise taxes now before it's too late.

Also, during my weekend long introspection, I learned I am wrong about a host of other issues. For example; what gives me the right to suggest that a woman can't do with her body what she wills? Who am I (a man) to make such intimate decisions for women I don't even know? I am now officially Pro Choice.

Once I started I couldn't stop! I admit I am so messed up! I can't believe I have been so blind! Did you know that while guys like me write entire websites or blogs on global warming.... I'm sorry...... Climate change, the Earth's oceans are rising in elevation and temperature giving fuel, in turn, to blistering hot temperatures in some places and cold temps in others. Our ravenous greed and lust for comfort and convenience is leading to a certain catastrophic end! The very car I drive, electricity and gas I use at home harm the environment and the chemicals I use at work are responsible for the killing of hundreds of plant and animal species per day!

Most importantly though, in my blind fervor to push my religion on others by mentioning the oft hurtful name of Jesus to people who may chose not to believe in him, I have helped cause undue pain and suffering for my fellow human. I have opened my mind and hope you do too. We must think of ourselves as not American citizens but citizens of the world! I must allow other religions to have their say. I have been running around spreading my version of the truth so long, it's time now for me to be quiet and let others have their turn. Perhaps I can learn from others when I stop being so closed minded. Perhaps even, we may learn that the Bible is just a collection of religious remedies, analogies and anecdotes not meant to be taken literally! Who am I to claim the Earth is as young as the Bible says it is? It is entirely possible that the Earth is billions of years old. There certainly is more hard evidence from scientists to support this theory. Yet I have always supported the whimsical writings of long dead ordinary men fanaticizing about and even constructing a God who would, if he existed, obviously be a sadistic entity or else there would not be such suffering in the world. Evil regimes like America and Israel would not slaughter innocent women and children just because they are of a different religion if we all just gave a little and learn tollerance!

I have grown a lot after my weekend of introspectional meditation. So I can no longer call myself a Christian, Conservative, Republican, Constitutionalist or Creationist because, I now see how much harm I have caused. So I hope you will come to accept the new me.
I hope you will forgive me and I hope you will understand when I offer you my warmest wishes for a happy April Fools Day!
