Pre-ABoT SetonnoteS are below

Hypochristy   (09/27/06)
More than an opiate, religion is a crutch for the ignorant and the fearful. Republicans have had their way with these growing, frightened masses. The party had coalesced the terrified around chilling cowardice and immoral values, manipulating them into a mindless fervor.

The Ahwahnee   (05/26/06)
This is not the fall of Western Civilization but it is a sign of decline. Perhaps I shouldn’t expect that a hotel should maintain the quality that I first enjoyed a quarter-century ago, but I do. The Ahwahnee is worthy of the finest in management, for its guests, its employees, and for posterity.

It's a Crime   (04/02/06)
A nation fragments when only some of the people are required to abide by the rules, when the people don’t even speak the same language. This is not some multi-culturalist walk in the parque. It is about justice and decency, and if our country doesn’t stand for that, we don’t stand for anything at all.

The Choice for Choice   (03/07/06)
Of course, but we forget this, no one is in favor of abortion. Everyone not insane is pro-life. The American media has disgraced itself by applying the wrong labels to this tragic situation, and in doing so have mis-characterized the issues.

Hatefulness   (02/25/06)
Thinking anew about that Saturday morning in 1970 when the "hatefulness" message flashed across America, it’s curious that someone decided to use that word for that purpose. It reflects the worst of a human being. Of course, starting a nuclear war isn’t very loving.

A Shot in the Dark   (02/17/06)
I might wish to be compassionate and say that Mr. Cheney came into their world with an awful script and faithfully did he follow it. I’d need another drink first. Perhaps in his next life he’ll come back as a young woman in Darfur.

Slippery Slope to Hell   (02/09/06)
With all our macho posturing, it’s time America stood up for its founding principles and told countries, groups and individuals that they are welcome to conduct themselves according to the often-primitive beliefs in their own society but Don’t Tread on Me.

Bits & Pieces   (02/07/06)
Thrill-seeker Steve Fossett is preparing for another record-setting flight around the globe. The trip will be 26,084 miles and take about 80 hours. Now I love flying -- learning to fly was the most important thing I ever did in my whole life -- but these endurance runs seem mindless to me.

Uncomic Opera   (02/04/06)
There are a billion Muslims on the planet. Dunno how many of them are burning down embassies and destroying the shops of foreigners because they are upset with some political cartoons that were published in Denmark in September. Maybe they should leave.

The Waves We Were   (01/07/06)
Up from the beach, across the links at the Spanish Bay resort, a bagpiper skirls out his clarifying notes on the patio to the rich clinking crystal within. As the surfers make their final run below, darkness begins to settle and all are left to privately ponder on the waves we were.

Time to Talk   (01/07/06)
The only way that dream can be realized is if we demand the truth from those who would purport to inform us. The whole truth. We will lose our great nation if the liars and whiners continue to dominate the discussion.

Aught Six   (01/01/06)
If we all do our part, if we declare what we know to be just and hold ourselves to higher standards, if we at least lean in the right direction, it could just put the right amount of oomph behind a change in direction that will take us where we want to go instead of where we have shown we belong.
