Join me - This is how the circle is broken. I've been doing a lot of thinking. If you do a search on me you will find a shitty post or two by me, regarding his death.

I'm done. I forgive him. Whatever wherever his soul is now is between him and his god.

5. Screw him, he can rot in hell and I will not forgive him.
My partner says he hopes that the is recreated as a Black Lesbian in a poor area of a Muslim nation... time to feel his pain.

7. The hate must end somewhere
and it must end with each of us before there can ever be peace anywhere.

He may have caused much hurt and damage with his hate-filled rhetoric but I for one will not justify his tactics with similar ones.

Thank you to all who take this stand.

8. I don't forgive him.
He didn't experience enough suffering before he croaked.

I can't forgive that.

refuse to stand up for themselves. I also hate how Falwell and the rest of those false christian leaders as well as Reagan's republican party of suck ups have used the poor, brown people and retired people as scape goats for all the wrongs they the republican right wing have committed since 1980. Rolling over and sticking to the high ground is no longer seen as either moral or the right thing to do because people like Falwell has convinced a lot of americans that the only thing that matters is either having faith that they will be rich or being rich.

When right wingers can look down on a single mother with handi caps because she refuses to let her son run with a construction company from state to state because education comes first, the 16 year old would have to quit school to work, then tell the same handi capped mother that her handi caps aren't serious enough to stop her from working, after all owning a business license also means they can practice medicine, and that she isn't trying hard enough to succeed or better herself. I mean a person who isn't allowed to drive, has a 10 pound lifting limit, can neither stand or sit for more then 1/3 of an 8 hour shift, shop, do house work and needs help bathing and with her toiletries, and when she walks she has to use a walker, the republican right wing insists she can work because they know a blind person or a person in a wheel chair thats making big money working.

The hell with the high road and forgiveness, these predators like Falwell see those traits as weaknesses and will prey upon anyone that they feel is weaker then themselves.

13. We all live and learn
Hate leaves a unsettling feeling inside and we learn.
For me I saw how emotions can lead us to these unsettling places and the key was to detach to the extent where it wouldn't control me, in essence I ceased to empower it.
Back on a shelf in my mind theres a quote I remember " the mind is a terrible master but a wonderful servant", I get pissed off now and then, but not to the extent it drags me down so low.
