This disasterous and very un-American, or poor-American, resurgence of Old Testament bigotry is leading us to strange waters. Policemen now make considerably more than teachers. While people grumble about funding Head-Start or health programs aimed at poorer children, they pony up for new prisons because they can see the need for those..or think they do.

It isn`t hard to figure that if you neglect to build a car well in the first place, you`re going to need all sorts of garages and mechanics along your road. The money and care and time that should be going to children is being denied them because no one wants to be "soft" or support a "welfare mentality"...we don`t see why we should take care of the children of other people...but we wind up paying for the upkeep of those "other" children when they hit prison..not to mention the personal misery they may cause.

It`s all very Old Testament...very "eye for an eye". We prefer to punish, rather than nurture, or guide. We say, "it`s not our concern" when a few dollars spent wisely early on could make a difference and then shoulder the entire burden when itīs MADE into our concern...of course by then it`s way too late and not only that but several little ones may have been born into the same stifling routine...leading to the prison and THEN your bank account.

The same is happening in foreign matters. We neglect to see our hand in creating situations that later come back to haunt us...we ignore the crisis as it is building, at a time when we could intervene for the better and spare so much suffering...for others as well as ourselves..but we stand aloof, or continue bad policies badly begun, citing our right to do as we please...only to find our own children dying later on in foreign wars we could so easily have avopided, if only we condesecended to come down from that mountaintop.

We WILL come down eventually...we WILL spend hundreds of millions eventually...we just don`t want to do it until there`s a knife at our throats...I wonder why?

The entire rationale for the need to create a homeland for the Jews was because of what Christians did to them...and yet Christians werenīt the ones to pay the ultimate price for their crimes...they decided to pawn that off on the Palestinians and eventually make it a much bigger problem for everyone.

Maybe we like knives?
