I got an email from a friend tonight about a very controversial article written by a man named James Kunstler. He wrote an article blasting the current administration as a puppet of right-wing evangelical Christian fanatics. He backed his argument by trying to assert that people who believe the world is going to end shouldn't be running a government. His views are also held by aged, and long time journalist Bill Moyers.
I feel that many of his arguments were weak and very stereotypical of southerners and any Christian who considers themselves "born again". (On a funny note, Jesus said that the only way one could be His follower was to be "born again." Thus bringing up the fundamental question of what everyone considers that term to mean. I can't imagine being a non-born again Christian... That's like having an unofficial membership to something. It's great until you need to use it.)
Anyway, I wrote a rebuttle. I am not finished with it, and it is incredibly long. I could post it, but it may have to be in segments, and would be some serious reading... I think I wrote more than he did, and I would include his original article for comparisson sake. What I'm asking is, would that be something you, the reading audience, would be interested in?

I'd like to read it too. It's not like my time is spent reading, you know, "books" or anything...
READ THIS SLOWLY. S-L-O-W-L-Y. . .
I read fairly slow. I type even slower. Then I read over what I type and give it deep analysis. I enjoy reading your "blog" but find myself knodding off periodically. I also fight severe depression during some passages. Other thoughts just make me hungry.
I read somewhere that typing is a good finger cardio workout. I can already feel the burn. I have so little to say and it takes me so long to type it. This is an awesome afro dee jeack as well. Is it getting hot in here?
I am happy, no really just uneasy and a bit . . .Well, no nevermind. What was I saying? See, when I get all worked up, I go too dang fast and I start forgeting where I was heading to begin with. I guess I just wanted to say something about the thing from today or last night and then talk about it with you a little bit later and have a cup of coffee to go.
Have an above average day!
Your old friend,
So who is my old friend?
Oh, my old friend . . . You must try harder than that. I enjoyed reading some of your postings tonight, and look forward to more. I'll be in touch!
Mmmm... a mystery. An odd, creepy mystery. You gotta love the veil of the internet!
Mystery poster, I have only one thing to say to you...
The Pope is a dork.
Dork? Thats all you've got, little boy? I might be a sick, old pompous has been, but I still think with my Lord's help I could take you, you Pedro the Lion loving pretender!
-The Pope
Bring it on Pope-boy! You and your pointy hat!
Okay, you little WASP, you better settle down or I'll show you what my pointy has can also be used for...
You should be thankful that I have given your blah, excuse me, "blog" some messages worth coming back for so you and your few little friends have something to read. Maybe I should incorporate a brief lesson in my comments to try and better you spiritually. Or is it too late? Has that American music, that "rock and roll" corrupted your tiny brain?
"Master P"
