Just like those bombings where Katy Perry came out talking about Love, but she doesn't love the people who are being slaughtered, and she doesn't love the people in Syria enough to help them not be tortured and killed.

Love cannot heal all wounds when they be people that need to be planted in the Earth.
If we truly loved all people, we would be killing day in and day out,
those people who are killing and torturing other people.
"I know, right? That Katy Perry, who does she think she is...we see thru her, alright!
And yes! If we truly loved we would killing the bad guys!"


Hanni...
Somewhere inside you do you see how this is just not the best approach?

Not really, I believe in war.

An act of war, or figuratively speaking?

Surely figuratively. Hanni (the man who cares for orphaned raccoons) has always struck me as a gentle being at heart.

I always liked how Sparrow explained it:

If you want to get rid of your enemies, make them your friends.

Speaking of which...I saw a black bear yesterday on my way into town. A youngster, probably not more than 125 pounds. He was standing on top of the lid of a closed dumpster, looking vaguely puzzled. He could smell the heady aroma of garbage but couldn't get at the darn stuff. It was funny.

You should appreciate this. I had a dream about 2 bears some time ago that Trout interpreted for me. One was large, red and ferocious, and I was definitely scared of it. The other was black, benign and it was playing with children.

What was Trout's interpretation?

Strikes me that the black bear is religious fundamentalism, or as a minimum, the cultural educational norms / differences we teach our children.

Since I in no way consider religious fundamentalism benign, nor do I think it is something safe for children, I doubt my mind would symbolize it for me in dream form as either benign or playful, as was the black bear.

Religious fundamentalism is something that had killed me and from which I was saved (to bring this somewhere within the vicinity of the actual thread topic ).

When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.


Dude was just born of the Earth, and the earth came out with two angry mothers.
