War on Terrorism:
Viet Nam Redux?
by bobby jennings.
While watching the
HBO produced "Path To War", a docudrama
about how the US and President Lyndon Johnson were pulled into the Viet Nam
War, I could not help but make comparisons to the current war on terrorism.
As in Viet Nam, America again is slowly and methodically being pulled into
war… |
Activism
Begins at Home
by Marie T. Russell
and bobby jennings.
"The way I'm an activist...is try to be a good person, do what I believe in,
 in
every way. Activism can start very small -- helping our neighbor, being less
materialistic, not being mass consumers. These things are active."
-- Patti
Smith. |

by bobby
jennings.

current social evolution
of man, but really it has always had a universal meaning and not a very complicated
philosophy..... |
Human Is As
Human Does
Special? We
want to be special? Then we need to act special. Why?
Because....... As my friend Forest Gump would say. "Special
is as Special does".... |
Tough
Decisions
Made Simple
At
first glance, nothing is as simple as it seems. After closely scrutinizing it, neither is it as complex.
The trick, is merely how to look at it... |
Politics
As Usual?
The 2000 Republican Presidential primary
was like a return of a nightmare for me. My personal
conflict with the "Religious Right" came at
the height of their power in 1985 when I finally decided
to move my membership to the largest Baptist Church in
Orlando. |
Life
Is A Series Of Steps
Ever
heard the saying "3 steps forward and two steps
back"? Of course you have! Well there's more than
that. All universal activity,
including human endeavor, occurs in excess and must be
corrected. |
